The Legal Informatics and Legal Information Technology (LIT) Workshop
is an annual event which gathers people interested in broadly understood
Legal Informatics and its applications. The LIT 2011 meeting will take
place in Poznan as part of the 14th International Conference on Business
Information Systems. As a continuation of previous editions, we invite
people dealing with different domains closely related to legal matter and
Information Technology.
The 4th Legal Informatics and Legal Information Technology Workshop
will 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 law-related business processes, legal
ontologies, description frameworks, discussing new research and
innovative applications in Law, Information Technology as well as
Insurance. The workshop is receptive to all papers dealing with any topic
in these interdisciplinary domains.
In the year 2010 all papers accepted to the workshop have been
published in Springer Series: Lecture Notes in Business Information
Processing. We are planning to continue the cooperation with the
publisher on this edition of the event.
