The overall aim of AASTM is to enhance today's generation of argumentation formalisms and implementations in order to become suitable for a wider variety of real-life applications, such as reasoning about trust. This requires a unified theory that integrates the various forms of argumentation related functionality, as well as efficient proof procedures and sound and scalable software components. The specific application of the argumentation theory to the field of trust management is the task of a PhD student who is currently working on the project.
