2nd Call for Papers: Special Issue in Memory of John L. Pollock

Argument and Computation
(http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/titles/19462166.asp)

In September 2009, the “Argument & Computation” community lost one of 
its great pioneers, with the passing away of John L. Pollock, professor 
of philosophy and cognitive science at the University of Arizona. 
Pollock was among the dominant figures in epistemology, and made 
foundational contributions to the use of argumentation in artificial 
intelligence and cognitive architectures. He developed OSCAR, one of the 
most important implementations of defeasible reasoning in autonomous 
agents.

This special issue of “Argument & Computation” is dedicated to the 
memory of John L. Pollock and aims to acknowledge his contributions to 
the field. We solicit original research papers on topics including, but 
not limited to:

* Argumentation and cognitive architectures
* Formal semantics for argumentation
* Argumentation and defeasible reasoning
* Argumentation and nonmonotonic logics
* Argumentation and Decision Theory

The issue will favour papers inspired, in one way or another, by 
Pollock’s important work in the area. We are also interested in surveys 
of Pollock’s work.
