The primary idea behind thi s first edition of the conference is that argument ation and reasoning are the main vehicles for our decisions and actions. They accompany, indeed cons titute, a variety of significant social practices: from individual practical reasoning, small group decisions, deliberations of official bodies in var ious institutional contexts, to large-scale politi cal and social deliberations. Argumentation is und erstood here as a mode of action - and not just an y action, but a reasoned action, comprised of cons ideration of reasons (whether they are good or bad ). Traditionally, argumentation has been assigned many distinct functions: epistemic, moral, convers ational, etc. The aim of the conference is to expl ore how these functions are interrelated with the practical need for deciding on a course of action. Simply put, our chief concern is with the role ar gumentation and reasoning play when the question o f 'what to do?' is addressed. For more informati on, see http://www.ecargument.org/ The Programme Committee and Organising Committee invite the fol lowing types of original submissions: individual l ong papers, individual regular papers, and themati c panels/symposia.
