Caliornia Odyssey Day 6 & IJCAI Day 4

The final day of IJCAI was much better in terms of topics that I had either an active research interest in, or at least sufficient background understanding to get something out of the sessions. Of particular interest today were the Coalitions and Coordination session and the Negotiation and Commitment session, both chaired by Michael Wooldridge, and the second Argumentation session chaired by Iyad Rahwan. Papers of particular interest today were:

Dialectical Abstract Argumentation: A Characterization of the Marking Criterion Nicolás D. Rotstein, Martín O. Moguillansky, Guillermo R. Simari
A Unified Framework for Representation and Development of Dialectical Proof Procedures in Argumentation Phan Minh Dung, Phan Min Thang
Labellings and Games for Extended Argumentation Frameworks Sanjay Modgil
Computational Properties of Resolution-based Grounded Semantics Pietro Baroni, Paul E. Dunne, Massimiliano Giacomin

That evening many of the argumentation folk me up for dinner, including Sanjay Modgil, Iyad Rahwan, Adrian Pearce, and myself. I finally got to meet and chat with Phan Minh Dung, although we spent more time talking about sport than argumentation -- go figure! After dinner Iyad, Adrian, and I went for a final pint and listened to some live music before heading back to our respective hotels. All in all I would say that IJCAI has been tremendously interesting and has given me a lot of food for thought, introduced me to many people that I might not otherwise have me, and provided me with a good list of research ideas to pursue over the next year on top of the list of things that I already have going on.
