The Jurix 2010 conference will be held in Liverpool, UK. Conference dates are to be decided.
Local Organizer:
Katie Atkinson, University of Liverpool
Programme Chair:
Radboud Winkels, University of Amsterdam
The resigning board is delighted that the call for reinforcements has led to two applications for the vacant positions: Rinke Hoekstra (UvA/VU) has applied for the position of secretary, and Jelle van Veenen (UvT) applied for the position of treasurer. Henry Prakken (UU/RUG) would like to become the next chair of Jurix.
The board proposes to appoint both Rinke and Jelle immediately. The new board, and the future chair will take on the organisation of the Jurix conference, and the ‘new’ Jurix. After the Jurix 2010 conference, Radboud Winkels will resign as chair, to be succeeded by Henry Prakken.
Summer School on Managing Legal Resources in the Semantic Web
A one-week program addressing the management of legal resources in the Semantic Web
6th-11th September, Ravenna, Italy
http://summerschoollex.cirsfid.unibo.it/
This edition of the LeX Summer School is organized in two courses:
4th Workshop on Legal Ontologies and Artificial Intelligence Techniques
“Legal Concepts and Ontologies: knowledge representation, comparison, harmonization and learning”
http://www.ittig.cnr.it/loait/loait10.html
July 7th, 2010, Fiesole (Florence), Italy
Paper submission: May 3rd, 2010 (***Extended deadline: May 16th, 2010***)
held in conjunction with Deon-10
http://defeasible.org/deon2010/
The LOAIT workshop aims to offer an overview of theories and well-founded applications that combine Legal Ontologies and AI techniques, with regard both to theories and implementations.
Over the last years the management of legal information has been significantly influenced by approaches from Artificial Intelligence (AI). In particular, legal reasoning, advanced semantic and cross-language legal information retrieval, legal drafting and document classification, have proved to be fertile areas where ontologies are successfully applied.
