This follow-up project will investigate novel graph-based methods and tools for formal argumentation. We will transfer theoretical results established in the predecessor project for abstract dialectical frameworks to arbitrary labelled argument graphs. We investigate corresponding algorithms and implement flexible and user friendly tools which we evaluate in two domains, legal reasoning and online debating.
