Abstract Personal assistants may help the elderly population to live independentlyand improve their welfare in ambient assisted living environments. However,although there are current proposals already developed both in academic and commercialdomains, these systems are still far from being established on the daily livesof the general population. Argumentation technologies can help to deal with openchallenges in this domain. In this chapter, we explore the connection between therelated areas of argumentation, recommendation, decision-making and persuasion,and we review related work that can play an important role on the development ofthe next generation of personal assistants for ambient assisted living.
