This paper defines a new framework for dynamics in argumentation. In this framework, an agent can change an argumentation system (the target system) in order to achieve some desired goal. Changes consist in addition/removal of arguments or attacks between arguments and are constrained by the agent’s knowledge encoded by another argumentation system. We present a software that computes the possible change operations for a given agent on a given target argumentation system in order to achieve some given goal.
