Resumen

Agent based ubiquitous computing environments have many sources of complexity. One of the most important is derived from the high number of agents which must survive in such kind of system. In systems with a high population of agents, conflicts are very frequent. Thus, there is a need for highly efficient techniques to solve conflictive situations, when they are produced. In this paper, we propose an approach based on argumentation to solve authorization conflicts. Authorization decisions are taken with authorization policies and conflicts are solved by the agent themselves by arguing.
