Meaning Negotiation with Defeasible Logic

Agents negotiate the meaning of terms in numerous real-life situations. When they behave so, they can be used as the basis for providing an emulation paradigm for software agents, habilitating therefore socio-technical systems to perform meaning negotiation. In this paper we focus upon two methods for meaning negotiation in defeasible logic and provide room for an analysis of how the proposed approaches perform the aforementioned process. Finally we also provide a computational analysis of the process automation problem.
