AICOL2015 - Last Call

VI  Workshop on Artificial Intelligence and the Complexity of Legal
Systems (AICOL), to be held at JURIX-2015, Universidade do Minho, Braga,
Portugal, on December 9th

HTTP://WWW.AICOL.EU/
Paper Sumission: Nov. 20th, 2015
============================================================
Co-located with the JURIX 2015, the 28th International Conference on
Legal Knowledge and Information Systems
9th-11th December 2015
University of Minho, Braga, Portugal

Organized by
Pompeu Casanovas (pompeucasanovas at gmail.com)
Monica Palmirani (monica.palmirani at unibo.it)
Paulo Novais (pjon at di.uminho.pt )

OBJECTIVES
============================================================
The Workshop will be held on December 9th at JURIX-2015. The aim of
AICOL is to develop models of legal knowledge more suitable to the
complexity of contemporary legal systems. See more about AICOL at
http://www.aicol.eu/.

Papers are regularly published at LNAI Springer Series. See past
editions at AI Approaches to the Complexity of Legal Systems I, and II
and AI Approaches to the Complexity of Legal Systems III, AI Approaches
to the Complexity of Legal Systems IV-V.

The AICOL workshops welcome research in AI, political and legal theory,
jurisprudence, philosophy of technology and the law, social
intelligence, nMAS, NLP, the Web of Data… to address the ways in which
the current information revolution affects basic pillars of today’s
legal and political systems, in such fields as e-democracy,
e-government, e-justice, transnational governance, Data Protection, and
Security.

We are, indeed, dealing with changes and developments that occur at a
rapid pace, as the law transforms itself, in order to respond to and
progress alongside with the advances of technology. In addition to the
traditional hard and soft law-tools of governance, such as national
rules, international treaties, codes of conduct, guidelines, or the
standardization of best practices, the new scenarios of the information
revolution have increasingly suggested the aim to govern current
ICTs-driven societies through the mechanisms of design, codes and
architectures.

AI approaches to the complexity of legal systems should take into
account how the regulatory tools of technology impact on canonical
interpretations of the law.

This Workshop is mainly addressed to computer scientists, legal
theorists, social scientists, and philosophers. But it is addressed to
the students of the Erasmus Mundus Doctorate on Law, Science and
Technology (http://www.last-jd.eu/) as well. Position papers that will
be especially encouraged.
