Recent work in argumentation theory and informal (practical) logic has developed certain tools that seem to be useful and applicable to multi-agent systems in which participants need to interact. Multiple interacting agents that engage in persuasive dialogue, negotiation and the construction of joint plans of action have the potential to provide argumentation theory with a means to implement and evaluate their theories. In this chapter we address the issues that are of interest to argumentation and multi-agent systems, similarities between these interests, open problems on both sides, and avenues for future infra and interdisciplinary research.
