The workshop theme is:<br /><br /><p style="text-align:center;"><em>What steps must organizations take to demonstrate that their software systems and data practices comply with government laws and regulations?<br /></em></p><p style="text-align:left;">Over the past several decades, we have experienced tremendous growth in new infrastructure, business practices, products and services that use information to achieve stakeholder goals. Recent compliance challenges include electronic voting, patient medical records, corporate governance and national identification cards. To address similar challenges, this growth has drawn the attention of regulators, lawyers, engineers and academics in a shared pursuit to understand the historical and social impact of existing laws and regulations on emerging technology. The costs to brand, infrastructure and the public of violating the law are often prohibitive and the challenges to ensure that software systems comply with the law are viewed differently by those involved.<br />The First International Workshop on Requirements Engineering and Law is a multi-disciplinary, one-day workshop that will bring together practitioners and researchers from government, industry and academia to investigate challenges to ensuring that software systems comply with the law. The workshop will probe important issues, including the processes for identifying relevant laws and jurisdictions, aligning laws with system requirements, managing requirements and changes in the law and demonstrating how systems comply with relevant laws through evidence-based mechanisms such as documentation, testing and certification.<br />For further information see the <a href="http://www4.ncsu.edu/~tdbreaux/relaw/index.html" rel="self">workshop website</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Call for Papers: JURIX 2008</title><dc:creator>info@iaail.org</dc:creator><category>Call for Papers</category><dc:date>2008-04-29T22:13:07+02:00</dc:date><link>http://www.iaail.org/files/66e1c27caaaec1fe2c0f30446527625f-36.html#unique-entry-id-36</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.iaail.org/files/66e1c27caaaec1fe2c0f30446527625f-36.html#unique-entry-id-36</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[<span style="font:12px Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; color:#555555; ">The 21st International JURIX conference on Legal Knowledge and Information Systems will be held in Florence, Italy, from 10-13 December 2008.

Codex is a cross-disciplinary research center jointly operated by Stanford Law School and the Stanford School of Engineering. The center's mission is to explore the application of technology toward improving the quality, efficiency, and accessibility of the legal system. <br /><br />Codex research fellows will have the opportunity to spend one to two years at Stanford Law School collaborating with scholars in computer science and other relevant disciplines. Fellows will work on the center's existing projects, and will have the opportunity to explore related research on their own and commence new projects. Fellows will work with cutting edge technologies emerging from Stanford's engineering departments, and will be expected to bring a legally oriented perspective toward integrating these technologies into the law. Sample projects include automating the process of intellectual property licensing and developing automated legal compliance systems.<br /><br />Fellows will also be involved in bringing in leading thinkers in the field to speak at the law school on these topic areas and will work with law and computer science students to engage them in the center's activities.<br /><br />Qualifications<br /><br />Applicants should have a J.D. or equivalent law degree. Because the primary focus of the center is employing technology within the law, applicants should also have experience in computer science or engineering related fields. We welcome applicants with practical/professional technical experience in these fields as well as those with formal computer science or engineering undergraduate or graduate training. Applicants should be capable of learning and be comfortable with the technological aspects of the center's projects.<br /><br />Salary for the fellowship will be approximately $40,000 per year with benefits.<br /><br />How to Apply<br /><br />All qualified and interested applicants must apply via the </span><span style="font:13px Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; color:#000000; "><a href="http://jobs.stanford.edu/" rel="self">Stanford jobs website</a></span><span style="font:13px Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; color:#000000; ">: search for this specific posting by entering job number: 30079 in the keyword search field.

Formal models of norm change have been drawing attention since the seminal works of Alchourr&oacute;n and Bulygin on normative systems, and that of Alchourr&oacute;n, G&auml;rdenfors and Makinson on the logic of theory change. In order to represent the dynamics of obligations and permissions, several deontic logics have been proposed. However, these systems did not explicitly refer to possible changes in the underlying norms - if norms were mentioned, they were assumed to be invariable.

Among the significant contributions resulting have been approaches to modelling and analysis of defeasible reasoning, formal bases for negotiation and dialogue processes in multiagent systems, and the use of argumentation theory in A.I. applications whose nature is not best described through traditional logics, e.g. legal reasoning, evaluation of conflicting beliefs, etc. The process of interpreting and and exploiting classical treatments of Argumentation Theory in effective computational terms has led to a rich interchange of ideas among researchers from diverse disciplines such as Philosophy, Linguistics, A.I. and Economics.<br /><br />Argumentation related workshops are now well-established events at the major Artificial Intelligence related Conferences, e.g. the workshop series on Computational Models of Natural Argument held in conjunction with IJCAI and ECAI, and the series of ArgMAS workshops held in conjunction with AAMAS.<br /><br />While work over the past five years has done much to consolidate diverse contributions to the field, many new concerns have been identified and form the basis of current research. Among such concerns are: approaches to coping with intractability issues; representation of argument structures in multiagent system settings; developing robust treatments of dynamically evolving argumentation frameworks; semantics for capturing concepts such as "persuasiveness", "credibility" and "impact" of arguments; computational bases for distinguishing classes of ``acceptable'' arguments, etc.<br /><br />This special issue of Artificial Intelligence Journal on the theme of Argumentation in A.I., is intended to present the current state-of-the-art in argumentation to a general audience, thus increasing awareness of the possibilities that argumentation offers among specialists in areas of A.I. which have not yet considered this as a way of addressing their problems. Equally it will present opportunities for those not currently involved with argumentation to consider new perspectives from which to tackle problems. In sum, the special issue aims both to spread the dissemination of argumentation ideas, and to widen the boundaries of the argumentation community.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.csc.liv.ac.uk/%7Eped/AI-Argumentation.html">More Information</a>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Research Scientist Position Open at Thomson Legal &#x26; Regulatory</title><dc:creator>info@iaail.org</dc:creator><category>Job Offers</category><dc:date>2006-08-23T01:30:02+02:00</dc:date><link>http://www.iaail.org/files/29ad166ca174a71355120ef3ceae5c8c-6.html#unique-entry-id-6</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.iaail.org/files/29ad166ca174a71355120ef3ceae5c8c-6.html#unique-entry-id-6</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[Thomson Legal & Regulatory (TLR) is a leading provider of integrated information solutions to legal, tax, accounting, intellectual property, compliance, business and government professionals around the world.

This is the first year that NIST has targeted litigation demands related to search and retrieval of documents as a new field of research. For the TREC legal track to be a success, between 25 and 50 responsible individuals will be needed to participate in an overall document review process which is to take place later this summer. The results of the research effort will be reported at the 15th Annual TREC conference to be held at NIST headquarters in Gaithersburg, Maryland during the third week of November 2006. The Sedona Conference asks that you consider having one or more individuals at your firm or company volunteer their time to assist in this very important and research endeavor.
