Asahikawa Convention Bureau, Hokkaido, Japan

in association with The 22th Annual Conference of The Japanese Society for Artificial Intelligence (JSAI2008)

Aims and scope

Juris-informatics is a new research area which studies legal issues from the perspective of informatics.
The purpose of this workshop is to discuss both the fundamental and practical issues for juris-informatics among people from the various backgrounds such as law, social science, information and intelligent technology, logic and philosophy, including the conventional "AI and law" area.
We solicit unpublished papers on theories, technologies and applications on juris-informatics.
