The two associated workshops for the conference are being held on Wednesday 15th December. Registration will open at 8.30am in the foyer of the Department of Computer Science in the Ashton Building, which is the location for the conference. The Online Dispute Resolution workshop runs all day, and the Case Modelling workshop will be held in the afternoon only.

The main conference commences on Thursday morning, with registration open from 9.00am.

On the conference website you will find two maps, one of the university campus, and one of the city centre of Liverpool (see: http://pcwww.liv.ac.uk/~confcsc/Conference_venue.html).  These maps have indicated on them the main buildings and entrances for the conference venues, and also the locations of social events and some places of interest in the city centre.

A welcome reception is being held on the evening of Wednesday 15th December at 18.00.  This will take place in the Victoria Gallery and Museum, which is a red brick building with clock tower located next to the Ashton Building, as indicated on the conference map.  Entrance to the welcome reception is included in the main conference registration fee.

There are still places remaining for the conference dinner on the evening of Thursday 16th December.  Please note that tickets for the conference dinner are purchased as separate items on the registration site.  Please check the confirmation emails you received subsequent to payment to confirm purchase of conference dinner tickets.  If you haven’t purchased a dinner ticket but would like to do so, please visit the online store at: https://payments.liv.ac.uk/browse/product.asp?catid=88&modid=1&compid=1

ICAIL 2011: Call for Position Papers

December 12th, 2010

Since the field of AI&Law is typically multi-disciplinary and evolves in a dynamic environment, some researchers may have undertaken challenging research concerning ideas of interest to the AI&Law community but that has not yet been completely evaluated. ICAIL 2011 welcomes papers describing such ideas, so-called “position papers”. These papers should nevertheless meet academic standards, particularly addressing the problem(s), scientific and societal relevance, relation to prior research and literature, research methods and approaches. Position papers do not have to report actual results although preliminary results are appreciated.

Important Dates

  • Submission of abstracts (optional): January 3, 2011
  • Submission of papers deadline: January 10, 2011
  • Notification of acceptance: tba
  • Final revised and formatted papers due: tba
  • Conference: June 6 – June 10, 2011
