Reasoning Research and Development, Proceedings of the Third
International Conference on Case-Based Reasoning, Seeon Monastery,
Germany, July 27-30, 1999. Springer Verlag 598 pp., ISBN 3-540-66237-5.
This
book presents mature work and innovative ideas on fundamental and
applied research in case-based reasoning. The topics addressed cover
the whole spectrum of CBR from formal logics and knowledge-based
systems to software engineering, workflow management, and decision
making.
The
judiciary is in the early stages of a transformation in which AI
(Artificial Intelligence) technology will help to make the judicial
process faster, cheaper, and more predictable without compromising the
integrity of judges' discretionary reasoning. Flexible AI tools for
decision support may promote uniformity and efficiency in judicial
practice, while supporting rational judicial discretion. Similarly, AI
may promote flexibility, efficiency and accuracy in other judicial
tasks, such as drafting various judicial documents. The contributions
in this volume exemplify some of the directions that the AI
transformation of the judiciary will take.
