The story so far

The Gorgias B tool is based on Gorgias. Gorgias is a general argumentation framework that combines the ideas of preference reasoning and abduction in a way that preserves the benefits of both of them. It can form the basis for reasoning about adaptable preference policies in the face of incomplete information from dynamic and evolving environments.

We would like to thank Ms Shabana Shaikh for preparing the responsive site template. Also the numerous students that have worked in the various tools and applications throughout these years.

The tool's name comes from the Sicilian philosopher Gorgias.
