- ALIAS : Analysing Legal Implications and Agent Information Systems. The ALIAS project analyses legal and technical implications of software agent applications. Agent characteristics -- such as: autonomy, pro-activity, reasoning, learning, co-operation, negotiation, social and physical manifestation -- are characteristics taken from humans. Notions such as anonimity and privacy will be redefined in the 'digital world'. In this project the research areas of Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, and Law are combined to analyse legal possibilities and limitations of agent technology. The aim of this project is to provide guidelines for both AI-researchers and Legal-researchers.
- The Legal Framework for the Information Society has as objective to introduce, starting from the elaboration of normative proposals, the Information and Communication Technologies in the Faculties and Schools of Law, and to promote the study of regulations and practice codes in the Polytechnic Centers. LEFIS wants to elaborate also didactic solutions with the possibilities that offers the use of the web and the didactic resources "on line"
Another objective of LEFIS is to elaborate policies on Law and new technologies coming from discussions originated in the different regions of the European Union, assisting to the characteristic necessities, traditions and requirements of the groups of countries that integrate the Thematic Network.
- ALFEBiiTE : A Logical Framework for Ethical Behaviour between Infohabitants in the Information Trading Economy of the Universal Information Ecosystem
- TFG-LEA Technical Forum Group on Law and Electronic Agents (TFG-LEA)
As electronic agents enter the information environment and electronic marketplaces, they engage in a number of activities which are significant for the law: accessing computer systems and networks, retrieving and spreading information, mediating personal and business relations, buying and selling information, mediating personal and business relations, buying and selling material and immaterial goods, etc. Through such activities agents may trigger off relevant consequences for their users, owners and developers, as well as their counter-parties, consequences pertaining to different areas of the law, such as contract, tort, civil and penal liability, intellectual property and data protection. How to legally conceptualise and regulate agent-based interactions is both a stimulating theme for lawyers and legal theorists, and a crucial issue for the success of agent-based applications and the secure and trustworthy development of the information society. On the other hand, agent-based interactions can be governed according to legal models based upon the theory of norms and normative relations. The TFG-LEA aims at providing a forum for investigating the law of electronic agents, taking into account the most recent advances in the study of autonomous agents and MAS, as well as the societal, economic and legal framework in which agent-based systems are employed, developing a constant co-operation between lawyers and computer scientists.
- ALIVE - Advanced Legal Issues in Virtual Enterprises: The ALIVE Project (IST-2000-25459) is a working group aimed at identifying and addressing the legal issues which arise during the design and set-up of Virtual Enterprises.
The Virtual Enterprise concept implies the set-up of optimised co-operation schemes among industrial partners who have complementary capabilities and knowledge areas and are willing to co-operate on specific business opportunities, such as development of new products/services and/or management of complex projects.
