Presentation @ the Inaugural Scottish Argumentation Day

Yesterday I gave a presentation about my research at the inaugural Scottish Argumentation Day which was held at Aberdeen University, hosted by the Department of Computer Science and kindly organised by Nir Oren. I wanted to present a high-level overview of my interests and talked about my research (including MAgtALO, ArguBlogging & FireBack, Parley, Warblr and the Arguing Agents Competition) and my day job working with the governance and intelligent use of of BIG healthcare datasets. I also included a few slides talking about the Dialogue Game Description Language (DGDL) as some of the work that ARG:dundee presented earlier builds upon DGDL as a fundamental technology.
