The field of Computer Supported Argument Visualization is currently attracting increasing attention in education and business as a means of helping co-located and virtual groups model and debate controversial problems. Visualizing Argumentation brings together the leading practitioners and researchers to provide the first in-depth coverage of this field. It gives an overview of both the conceptual and technical foundations, and also provides good coverage of practical issues, illustrated by real-life case studies. It will be of particular interest to practitioners and researchers concerned with knowledge management, software usability, information visualization and knowledge representation.

the only book to look specifically at the use of collaboration technologies in the argumentation process Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
