'Computational law: a bridge towards the business rules', Pittsburgh, US
Computational law is an approach to automated legal reasoning focusing on semantically rich formal representation of law, regulations, contract terms, and business rules. Current computational tools for electronic commerce fall short of the demands of business, organisations, and individuals conducting complex transactions over the internet.
However, the growth of semantic data in the world of electronic commerce and online transactions, coupled with grounded rulesets that explicitly reference that data, provides a setting where applying automated reasoning to law can yield fruitful results, reducing inefficiencies, enabling transactions and empowering individuals with knowledge of how laws affect their behaviour.
The event will be a collaborative forum for participants to exchange recent or preliminary results, conduct intensive discussions on a particular topic and discuss the use of computable models for capturing business procedures which can be reused in e-service information systems.For further information, please visit: http://decibel.cirsfid.unibo.it/icail2011-workshop/?page_id=32(opens in new window)
