18 - 20 September 2024, 10th International Conference on Computational Models of Argument (COMMA 2024), Hagen, Germany

Date: 18 - 20 September 2024
Location: Hagen, Germany
Deadline: Thursday 18 April 2024

The International Conference on Computational Models of Argument (COMMA) is a regular forum for presentation and exchange of the latest research results concerning theory and applications of computational argumentation. This year the biennial COMMA event will be hosted at the FernUniversität in Hagen, Germany. COMMA 2024 will be preceded by the sixth edition of the Summer School on Argumentation (SSA 2024). In addition to the main conference track, COMMA 2024 will include system demonstrations, as well as workshops devoted to specific argumentation-related themes.

We are happy to announce that the following workshops will take place prior to the COMMA 2024 conference:
 - 24th International Workshop on Computational Models of Natural Argument (CMNA 2024)
 - 2nd International Workshop on Argumentation for eXplainable AI (ArgXAI 2024)
 - 5th International Workshop on Systems and Algorithms for Formal (SAFA 2024)

We invite submission of original and unpublished work. Parallel submission to journals or other conferences or workshops with published proceedings is not permitted. The conference includes a Regular Track and an Innovative Applications Track. As to the latter, we encourage the submission of original papers about innovative applications, e.g., in law, medicine, e-democracy, risk assessment, intelligent user interfaces, recommender systems, argument mining etc. Innovative applications papers will be assessed in an equally rigorous reviewing procedure as regular track papers. The reviewing process is single blind. The length of each submission for both Regular and Innovative Applications papers must not exceed 12 pages.

We also invite submissions of demonstration of systems and tools. Authors of accepted submissions will be invited to present their demonstrations during a special demonstration session. All those intending to demonstrate a system should notify the demonstrations coordinator Tjitze Rienstra by e-mail no later than 04 April 2024.
