AB  - We present preliminary work on the benefits of argumentation-basednegotiation, for a simple framework for one-to-one negotiation betweenagents in a resource reallocation setting. Agents engage in dialogues withother agents in order to obtain resources they need but do not have. Di-alogues are regulated by simple communication policies that allow agentsto provide reasons (arguments) for their refusals to give away resources;agents use assumption-based argumentation in order to deploy these poli-cies. We assess the benefits of providing these reasons both informallyand experimentally: by providing reasons, agents are “more effective”in identifying a reallocation of resources if one exists and failing if noneexists.
