Class Attack

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    DungEntity, Formula
    Direct Known Subclasses:
    ABAAttack, AspicAttack
    public class Attack
extends DirectedEdge<Argument>
implements DungEntity
    This class models an attack between two arguments. It comprises of two attributes of Argument and is mainly used by abstract argumentation theories as e.g. DungTheory.
