The listowners write, "'CSCA' is concerned with designing computational support for mediating and structuring argumentation, using both textual and graphical representations. By 'argumentation', we mean the presentation and debating of conceptual perspectives - the synergy between logic and rhetoric as found in academia and business, e.g. to persuade, to make decisions, to analyse reasoning, to contrast perspectives."

CSCA only averages a few posts per month. The subject matter is far too abstruse (and frankly, too boring) for most netizens, and that's the way it's supposed to be.

The list is hosted in Great Britain, but list membership is fairly international in nature. Many ".edu" domains are represented here.

If you said "Huh?" to yourself whilst reading the quote above from listowners Albert Selvin and Simon Buckingham Shum, this list is not for you. If, on the gripping hand, you understood it and found it of interest, a subscription to CSCA may be worthwhile.
