Abstract
We propose in this paper DIAL,a framework for inter-agents dialogue,which formalize a collective decision-making process to compose divergent interests and prospectives.This framework bounds a dialectis system in which argumentative agents play and arbitrate to reach an agreement.For this purpose,we propose an argumentation-based reasoning to manage the conflicts between arguments having different strengths for different agents.Moreover,we propose a model of agents which justify the hypothesis to which they commit and take into account the commitments of their interlocutors according to their reputations.In this scope of our dialectics system,a third agent is responsible of the final decision outcome which is taken by resolving the conflict between two players according to their competences and the advanced arguments.
