Constructor Details

AttackRelation

public AttackRelation(ArgumentationKnowledgeBase kb,
 AttackStrategy strategy)

Creates a new AttackRelation for an argumentation knowledgebase and a certain notion of attack.

Parameters:

kb - an argument knowledge base

strategy - a notion of attack for arguments in the knowledgebase

Method Details

attacks

public boolean attacks(Argument a,
 Argument b)

Returns true iff argument a attacks argument b for the notion of attack represented by this attack relation.

Parameters:

a - an argument

b - another argument

Returns:

true iff argument a attacks argument b

attacks

public boolean attacks(Set<Argument> attacker,
 Argument b)

Is true iff at least one attacking argument attacks b

Parameters:

attacker - a set of arguments

b - argument to be attacked by one or more arguments from the attacking set

Returns:

true iff at least one argument from attacker attacks b

getAttackingArguments

public Set<Argument> getAttackingArguments(Argument a)

Returns all arguments from the knowledgebase, that attack argument a.

Parameters:

a - an argument

Returns:

the set of arguments from kb, that attack argument a
