Expressing Extension-Based Semantics Based on Stratified Minimal Models

Extension-based argumentation semantics is a successful approach for performing non-monotonic reasoning based on argumentation theory. An interesting property of some extension-based argumentation semantics is that these semantics can be characterized in terms of logic programming semantics. In this paper, we present novel results in this topic. In particular, we show that one can induce an argumentation semantics (that we call Stratified Argumentation Semantics) based on a logic programming semantics that is based on stratified minimal models. "We show that the stratified argumentation semantics overcome some problems of extension-based argumentation semantics based on admissible sets and we show that it coincides with the argumentation semantics CF2.
