Class CautiousArgumentationAgent


  • public class CautiousArgumentationAgent
    extends OvercautiousArgumentationAgent
    This class models a cautious argumentation agent, i.e. an agent that only brings forward arguments that cannot be harmful to this agent's goal of proving some given proposition but are inherently necessary in order to prove the agent's focal element.
