The Fifth International Workshop on Juris-Informatics (JURISIN 2011)

The Fifth International Workshop on Juris-Informatics (JURISIN 2011) was held with a support of the Japanese Society for Artificial Intelligence (JSAI) in association with Third JSAI International Symposia on AI (JSAI-isAI 2011). Although JURISIN was organized to discuss legal issues from the perspective of informatics, the scope of JURISIN is more wide-ranging than that of the conventional AI and law. In our ‘call for papers’ the following topics are mentioned: legal reasoning, argumentation/argumentation agent, legal term ontology, formal legal knowledge-base, intelligent management of legal knowledge-base, translation of legal documents, computer-aided law education, use of informatics and AI in law, legal issues on ubiquitous computing/multi-agent system/the Internet, social implications of use of informatics and AI in law, and so on.
