6th Workshop on Legal Informatics and Legal Information Technology (LIT 2017)
28-30 June 2017, Poznan
CALL FOR PAPERS
Deadline for submissions: May 1, 2017
in conjunction with
20th International Conference on Business Information Systems (BIS 2017), Poznan
(http://bis.kie.ue.poznan.pl/bis2017/workshops/lit-2017/)
The Legal Informatics and Legal Information Technology (LIT) Workshop is a gathering of people interested in broadly understood Legal Informatics and its applications. The previous LIT was held in 2013 in Poznań, Poland as part of the 16th International Conference on Business Information Systems. As a continuation of previous editions, every LIT invites people dealing with different domains closely related to legal matter and Information Technology.
The 6th Legal Informatics and Legal Information Technology Workshop is planned to be a multi-disciplinary, one-day workshop that will bring together practitioners and researchers to investigate challenges and opportunities in the emerging trends on the verge of law and IT. The workshop will examine vital issues, including legal mining techniques, Big Data applications, electronic contracting, Future Internet and law as well as semantics & ontologies within legal domain, discussing new researches and innovative applications in Law, Information Technology together with legal application domains (tax, commercial, insurance law, etc). The workshop is receptive to all papers dealing with any topic in these interdisciplinary fields.
The event is organized under the auspices of the Central European Institute of Legal Informatics (CEILI, http://ceili.eu). CEILI is the international network on legal informatics co-ordinated by WZRI Wiener Zentrum für Rechtsinformatik which aim is to strengthen legal information in Central Europe through joint teaching and research.
