Abstract

This papers studies different options for the instantiation of incomplete abstract argumentation frameworks into ASPIC+. The main motivation of the work is rooted in general arguments that point out the danger of unlimited abstraction in argumentation models research and the need to study some instantiations in order to avoid ad-hoc modelling of examples and implicit assumptions behind abstract models. The work has a conceptual focus, showing how some assumptions underlying incomplete abstract argumentation frameworks are not exactly true when some of its instances are considered in detail.
