Abstract

We study a number of properties concerning the behaviour of semantics for Dung style abstract argumentation when the argumentation framework changes. The properties are concerned with how the evaluation of an argumentation framework changes if an attack between two arguments is added or removed. The results provide insight into the behaviour of these semantics in a dynamic context.
