On Relating Voting Systems and Argumentation Frameworks.
Irene Benedetti, Stefano Bistarelli, Paolo Piersanti · 2014
Abstract. In the modern world formal voting theories are becoming established and can be used to determine if a Voting System (VS) is fair or not in order to preserve democracy. The Argumentation Framework (AF) is based on the exchange and the evaluation of interacting arguments which may represent information of various kinds. We define a bijective mapping between the two theories and investigate how fairness criteria defined for voting systems can be re-interpreted inside the Argumentation Frameworks. 1
