Interface LinkStrategy

All Known Implementing Classes:
SatLinkStrategy
public interface LinkStrategy
Interface representing a strategy for determining the type of link between arguments in a structured argumentation framework. The strategy defines how to compute the relationship (link) between a parent argument and its child based on their acceptance conditions. The link can be classified as attacking, supporting, dependent, or redundant.

    • compute

      LinkType compute(Argument parent, AcceptanceCondition childAcc)
      Computes the type of link between a parent argument and its child's acceptance condition.
      Parameters:
      parent - the parent argument in the argumentation framework
      childAcc - the acceptance condition of the child argument
      Returns:
      the computed LinkType representing the relationship between the parent argument and the child's acceptance condition

    • compute

      LinkType compute(Argument parent, AcceptanceCondition childAcc, Interpretation assumption)
      Computes the type of link between a parent argument and its child's acceptance condition, taking into account an additional assumption.
      Parameters:
      parent - the parent argument in the argumentation framework
      childAcc - the acceptance condition of the child argument
      assumption - the assumption or interpretation that may influence the computation of the link type
      Returns:
      the computed LinkType representing the relationship between the parent argument, the child's acceptance condition, and the given assumption
