Resumen
The development of modern society as a network has led to the spread of deliberative argumentation as one of the methods used in various fields of human activity. In the information society, the use of methods of deliberative argumentation is based on the use of appropriate application software, which is designed for visualization and modeling of intellectual activity to solve various types of practical problems, including argumentation. Developers of the software designed to model and represent argumentation explicitly or implicitly implement the conceptual foundations of definite conceptions of argumentation in it. In our study we determine some of those conceptions on the basis of how the software at stake models the deliberative argumentation and what are its key purpose and functions with respect to visualizing and assessing arguments. We consider some examples of analyzing argumentation with the help of such software. The results of our study serve as a starting point for formulating of a set of criteria for evaluating the software and its subsequent classification.
