Towards an Enthymeme-Based Communication Framework

In this work, we give an operational semantics for speech acts that BDI agents can use to communicate enthymemes. The approach uses argumentation schemes as common organisational knowledge to guide the construction of enthymemes by the proponents of arguments. Such schemes are also used to guide the reconstruction of the intended argument by the recipients of such enthymemes.
