AB - Game theory, argumentation and dialogues all address problemsconcerning inter-agent interaction, but from different perspectives.In this paper, we contribute to the study of the interplay betweenthese fields. In particular, we show that by mapping games in normalform into structured argumentation, computing dominant solutionsand Nash equilibria is equivalent to computing admissiblesets of arguments. Moreover, when agents lack complete information,computing dominant solutions/Nash equilibria is equivalentto constructing successful (argumentation-based) dialogues.Finally, we study agents’ behaviour in these dialogues in reversegame-theoretic terms and show that, using specific notions of utility,agents engaged in (argumentation-based) dialogues are guaranteedto be truthful and disclose relevant information, and thuscan converge to dominant solutions/Nash equilibria of the originalgames even under incomplete information.
