Motivation

Companies operating internationally or wanting to branch out to other countries and markets, face multiple difficulties to engaging in trade abroad and to localise their products and services to other countries. The management of compliance (i.e. conformance to a set of laws, regulations, policies, or best practices) is one of the key factors of success, and the latest developments in technology enable a new sort of applications that facilitate the management of compliance. In order to develop new regtech products and services to assist lawyers and experts in compliance tasks, a new breed of technologies is necessary using the recent advances in AI. As recently ruled by the German Federal Court of Justice, Compliance Management System can lead to reduction of a fine –eventually only those companies with advanced compliance systems will be able to compete .

This 1st TeReCom workshop welcomes research in technologies for regulatory compliance, specially if using semantic resources or if applying Artificial Intelligence advances. Topics include but are not limited to:

  • Automatic Regulatory Compliance Systems
  • Legal text mining systems towards Compliance
  • Regulatory Enforcement and Inspections
  • Compliance Risk Management
  • Technologies for Multilingual or Multijurisdiction Compliance
  • Alignment of legislation and company workflows towards Compliance
  • Services and tools for Compliance in specific domains (financial, media, healthcare...)
  • Automated policy processing and policy-based systems
  • Automatic processing of International Standards and Legislation
  • Legal Data Portals and linked data for Compliance
  • Legal Knowlege Graphs
  • Regulatory Intelligence
  • Legal Ontologies, Vocabularies and Thesauri useful for Compliance
  • Any other user of Artificial Intelligence towards Compliance
We invite researchers to submit their original papers (drafts 4-10 pages, final papers: 8-10 pages, 2400 words) on these themes.

Dates

15 November 2017: Submission of draft paper (at least 4 pages). Extended till 22 November
25 November 2017: Notification of acceptance
8 December 2017: Submission of camera ready version
13 December 2017: Workshop at JURIX2017!
