IRS2021 Workshop Overview
Regulatory systems (RSs) span across a broad range of industries, activities and behaviours governing how businesses should be operated. It is increasingly large and can encompass or connect with other systems ranging from traditional software systems to social networks, clouds, cyber-physical and safety-critical systems. Apart from the intrinsic complexity of integrated systems, the variability and dynamicity of surrounding environments also make it extremely challenging to ensure the correctness of such systems.
Given many decades of research and development in RSs, various approaches and techniques have been developed and removed some of the barriers. However, less attention has been drawn to the analysis of the system at runtime. Besides, the current practices also emphasis on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to automate processes — through the addition of more contexts and analytics — in more advanced and intelligent ways.
The IRS workshop aims at raising the awareness of approaches that can be used in providing intelligent support to regulatory systems, including both functional and non-functional properties, before and after executions. It is intended to be a venue for researchers and practitioners who are interested in methods and techniques for runtime verification and compliance checking, quantitative analysis (e.g. prediction and optimization of temporal performance) and their applications in experimental and industrial settings.
While JURIX conference solicits conceptual and applied research, industrial case studies advancing the legal information and knowledge systems covering a range of foundations, methods, approaches, models, systems, and applications as well as legal and ethical issues pertaining to the design, development and application of such systems. The topics covered by the IRS workshop will supplement the wider coverage of the topics relevant to the smart and intelligent systems that are subject to regulatory and legislative provisions, frameworks and standards.
The goal of the workshop is to provide a dedicated forum for researchers and practitioners from different disciplines and domains that are relevant to the workshop theme. We are looking forward to stimulating discussions from both theoretical and practical dimensions on investigating and addressing the problems of intelligence regulatory systems, from models generation to runtime analysis and to consistencies verification.
Submission Guidelines
Prospective authors are invited to submit original, previously unpublished papers for presentation in any of the areas listed above. Two types of paper submissions are solicited: (a) scientific research papers, and (b) industry experience reports or case studies.
-
Scientific research papers should describe original results not been accepted or submitted for publication elsewhere. These papers will be evaluated based on their scientific and technical contributions, originality, and relevance.
-
Industry experience reports or case studies should provide new insights gained in case studies or when applying enterprise computing technologies in practice, and should provide further important feedback about the state of practice and pose challenges for researchers. These papers will be evaluated based on their appropriateness, significance, and clarity
Only papers in English will be accepted. Manuscripts should be no longer than 10 pages including references, figures and tables. All submissions must be made in PDF format and comply with the style and guidelines in the IOS Press Instructions IOS Press Instructions for authors for authors. They should be made via the electronic submission system hosted on EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=irs20211 . Each accepted paper must have one of its authors registered to the conference before the camera-ready deadline. The conference organizers reserve the right of removing a paper from the proceedings if no author is officially registered by the camera-ready deadline. Moreover, only papers that have been registered and presented by their authors during the conference will be published in IOS press in their series Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence and Applications (FAIA) proceedings
