Andrea Cohen, Sebastian Gottifredi, Mauro Vallati, Alejandro Javier García, Grigoris Antoniou

Abstract: Highlights•Abstract argumentation frameworks (AFs) are updated to maximise goals achievement.•Goals specify arguments that should be made accepted and/or rejected.•Strategies for updating AFs are obtained via a combined argumentation-MaxSAT approach.•Optimal strategies minimise the number of actions used to maximise goals’ achievement.•Strategies and updates are formally characterised and empirically analysed.
