Knowledge and Information distribution, which is one of the
main processes in Knowledge Management, is greatly affected by power
explicit relations, as well as by implicit relations like trust. Making decisions
about whether to deliver or not a specific piece of information to
users on the basis of a rationally justified procedure under potentially
conflicting policies for power and trust relations is indeed a challenging
problem. In this paper we model power relations, as well as delegation
and trust, in terms of an argumentation formalism, in such a way that a
dialectical process works as a decision core, which is used in combination
with the existing knowledge and an information distribution system. A
detailed example is presented and an implementation reported.
