In multiagent systems (MAS), agents interact with each other to achieve individual and collective goals. Arguments in this context refer to the communication and negotiation mechanisms used by agents to exchange information, reach agreements, and make decisions. These arguments can take various forms and play a crucial role in resolving conflicts, sharing knowledge, and coordinating actions among autonomous agents. 

Agents put forth claims or propositions during interactions. These claims represent a position or statement that an agent asserts as true or desirable.

There are types of arguments as described below,
(a) Informational arguments: (Beliefs->Belief format) e.g. If it is cloudy, it might rain.
(b) Motivational arguments: (Beliefs, desires->Desire format) e.g. If it is cloudy and you want
to get out then you don’t want to get wet.
(c) Practical arguments: (Belief, sub -goalsGoal format) e.g. If it is cloudy and you own a
raincoat then put the raincoat.
(d) Social arguments: (social commentsGoal, desire format) e.g. I will stop at the corner because
the law say so. e.g. I can’t do that, I promise to my mother that I won’t.
(e) Interactions (binary or collective) between arguments:
(1) Conflict (defeat) format e.g. attacks 
There are interactions of support-type that are used for collective binary arguments in multi
agents system
