Abstract

Increasingly research into the uses of argumentation in multi- agent dialogues takes an experimental approach. Such studies explore how agents can successfully employ argumentation besides the best and worst case situations of formal analysis. While a vital part in these ex- periments is influenced by the scenarios from which dialogues are gen- erated, there is very little research on how these can be generated in a meaningful way, respecting the characteristics of the underlying dialogue problem. This paper proposes, by means of an example system for delib- eration dialogues, a methodology for the construction and evaluation of a scenario generation process. It is shown how scenarios can accomodate argumentation with structured arguments and how it is tested whether the generated scenarios are interesting for experimentation.
