AI-Based Decisiona and Disappearance of Law

Henry' Law and Gas Phase Disappearance Henry' Law and Gas Phase Disappearance *

For a two-phase (liquid-gas) two-component (water-hydrogen) system we discuss the formulation of the possible dissolution of hydrogen in the liquid phase. The problem is formulated as a set of nonlinear partial differential equations with complementary constraints and we show how Henry’s law fits in a phase diagram. Key-words: Porous media, two-phase flow, dissolution, nuclear waste underground...

Ontologies in AI and Law

The standard definition of “ontology” as used in Computer Science is that taken from Gruber (1993) “an explicit specification of the conceptualisation of the domain”. There are several key points here:  The ontology makes things explicit: without an ontology many design assumptions may be implicit in the executable representation.  The ontology is supposed to formal: the notions it captures a...

Causation in AI&Law

Reasoning about causation in fact is an essential element of attributing legal responsibility. Therefore, the automation of the attribution of legal responsibility requires a modelling effort aimed at the following: a thorough understanding of the relation between the legal concepts of responsibility and of causation in fact; a thorough understanding of the relation between causation in fact an...
