With so many people in this geographical region working on computational models of argument, Nir Oren finally took the initiative to do what so many of us had been threatening to do: namely, to run a workshop meeting. So, the first meeting of what we hope will be an enthusiastic schedule of collaboration is being held today, and the whole ARG:dundee group is heading up to Aberdeen. If you’re interested in tracking it and finding out more, drop us an email, or join the LinkedIn group.

Canadian Graduate School on Reasoning & Argument
Together with Marcello Guarini, Chris is this week delivering a graduate school on Reasoning & Argument: Computing & Cognitive Science Perspectives. The school is run in affiliation with the Centre for Research on Reasoning, Argumentation and Rhetoric (CRRAR) at the University of Windsor in Ontario, Canada, and runs immediately prior to the OSSA-2011 conference.
Henry Prakken, SICSA Distinguished Visitor
Prof. Henry Prakken from the Universities of Utrecht and Groningen in the Netherlands will be a SICSA Distinguished Visitor with ARG:dundee for the month of July 2009. Over that period, we will be exploring models that combine different theories of argumentation. He will also be delivering talks at Dundee, Aberdeen and Edinburgh and offering a PhD workshop.
Argument Blogging
Here is a short film [ Download: xvid avi format (26.2MB) ] of Colin Gourlay talking about his honours project at the School of Computing 09 degree show. Colin has been working in the ARG group on the argument blogging project which captures argumentative dialogues that occur online and records them using the Argument Interchange Format. Simon will be presenting a paper describing some of the work on this project during CMNA 9 at IJCAI in July.
