The JURIX conferences are held under the auspices of JURIX: The Foundation for Legal Knowledge Based Systems (http://www.jurix.nl). JURIX is a forum for research on information technology as applied to the law, and in particular on the development and application of artificial intelligence in the legal domain. Since 1988, JURIX has organized annual international conferences on current research in the field.
The 18th International JURIX Conference on Legal Knowledge Systems will focus on two major themes and their integration: Artificial intelligence and e-government. Currently we see several artificial intelligence technologies maturing (e.g., computational modeling of reasoning, natural language processing, information retrieval, information extraction in multimedia, machine learning, electronic agents, reasoning with uncertainty). Their integration in and adaptation to legal knowledge and information systems is studied by many research groups worldwide. Parallel to this development, e-government applications are gradually gaining ground among local, national, European and international institutions. This conference will especially focus on the integration of both study fields and attention will go to fundamental research questions still to be solved as well as to practical applications.
Two workshops are organised immediately following the main JURIX05 conference:
The conference is organized by the Vrije Universiteit Brussels – STAR Lab, Belgium in collaboration with the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven – ICRI, Belgium.
8-10 December 2005
Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Auditorium D2.01
The conference proceedings will be published by IOS Press (Amsterdam, Berlin, Oxford, Tokyo, Washington DC) in their series "Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence and Applications" before the Conference.
