Formula

class ArgumentCompletion
extends DelpArgument

This class models the completion of an argument in the framework of defeasible logic programming. This class extends DelpArgument by explicitly enumerating the strict rules used in the defeasible derivation of the argument's conclusion. In general, there may exist many argument completions for one argument (if there are several alternative strict rules), but every argument completion uniquely defines the argument. This class is used when computing the generalized specificity between two arguments (class GeneralizedSpecificity), as there, the completed arguments have to be used.
