Scientific Knowledge Object Patterns
Web technology is revolutionizing the way diverse scientific knowledge is produced and disseminated. In the past few years, a handful of discourse representation models have been proposed for the externalization of the rhetoric and argumentation captured within scientific publications. However, there hasn’t been a unified interoperable pattern that is commonly used in practice by publishers and individual users yet. In this paper, we introduce the Scientific Knowledge Object Patterns (SKO Patterns) towards a general scientific discourse representation model, especially for managing knowledge in emerging social web and semantic web. © ACM, 2011.

Improved Answer-Set Programming Encodings for Abstract Argumentation
The design of efficient solutions for abstract argumentation problems is a
crucial step towards advanced argumentation systems. One of the most prominent
approaches in the literature is to use Answer-Set Programming (ASP) for this
endeavor. In this paper, we present new encodings for three prominent
argumentation semantics using the concept of conditional literals in
disjunctions as provided by the ASP-system clingo. Our new encodings are not
only more succinct than previous versions, but also outperform them on standard
benchmarks.Comment: To appear in Theory and Practice of Logic Programming (TPLP),

Report on argumentation and teacher education in Europe
This document will ultimately form part of a comprehensive package of materials for teacher education and professional development in argumentation. The initial deliverable from Kaunas University of Technology described the rhetorical basis of argumentation theory for pre‐ and in‐service teachers, whilst this state of the art report sets out the current and rather unsatisfactory status of argumentation in curricula, initial teacher training/education and teacher professional development, across the fifteen S‐TEAM partner countries. We believe that this is a representative sample and that the report can be taken as a reliable snapshot of the situation in Europe generally
