TL;DR: Argumentation frameworks are used to represent causality of plans/models to be utilized for explanations.

Abstract: Providing transparency of AI planning systems is crucial for their success in practical applications. In order to create a transparent system, a user must be able to query it for explanations about its outputs. We argue that a key underlying principle for this is the use of causality within a planning model, and that argumentation frameworks provide an intuitive representation of such causality. In this paper, we discuss how argumentation can aid in extracting causalities in plans and models, and how they can create explanations from them.
