Bridging Representation of Laws, of Implementations and of BehavioursGiovanni Sileno
Presentation at JURIX 2015 (Legal Knowledge and Information Systems) conference.
To align representations of law, of implementations of law and of concrete behaviours, we designed a common ground representational model for the three domains, based on the notion of position, building upon Petri nets. This paper reports on work to define subsumption between positional models.
On the Interactional Meaning of Fundamental Legal ConceptsGiovanni Sileno
Presentation at JURIX 2014.
Abstract: Rather than as abstract entities, jural relations are analyzed in terms of the bindings they create on the individual behaviour of concurrent social agents. Investigating a simple sale transaction modeled with Petri Nets, we argue that the concepts on the two Hohfeldian squares rely on the implicit reference to a “transcendental” collective entity, to which the two parties believe or are believed to belong. From this perspective, we observe that both liabilities and duties are associated to obligations, respectively of an epistemic or practical nature. The fundamental legal concepts defined by Hohfeld are revisited accordingly, leading to the construction of two Hohfeldian prisms.

Presentation at AICOL Workshop: AI Approaches to the Complexity of Legal Systems
Abstract: the paper is an investigation on how behaviour relates to norms, i.e. on how a certain conduct acquires meaning in institutional terms. The simplest example of this phenomenon is given by the ’count-as’ relation, generally associated to constitutive rules, through which an agent has the legal capacity, via performing a certain action, to create, modify or destroy a certain institutional fact. In the literature, however, the ‘count-as’ relation is mostly accounted for its classificatory functions. Introducing an extension of the Petri Net notation, we argue that the structure of constitutive rules cannot be completely captured by logic conditionals, nor by causal connectives, but it can approached by the notion of supervenience.

Critical Analysis Portfolio and Presentation Proposal
Overview
For the first part of your final project, the critical analysis portfolio, you will select an issue or event in globalization and critically analyze it through the four
general education lenses: history, humanities, social sciences, and natural and applied sciences. By viewing the issue/event through these lenses, you will gain
insight into how the interconnected nature of globalization affects society as well as both your own individual framework of perception and the choices,
attitudes, and behaviors of others in the world around you.
For this first milestone, due in Module Two, you will select an issue or event to analyze through the four general education lenses. You will explain the issue or
event and its relationship to globalization as well as describe its connection to all four lenses.
Prompt: First, review the module resources you have so far encountered as well as your work in Module One. In addition, it is suggested that you visit the IDS
401 LibGuide for guidance on how to select a topic. Select one issue or event in globalization and write a 2- to 3-page paper that addresses how this
issue/event fits into the framework of global society and then addresses how each lens influences perceptions and attitudes toward the issue/event,
globalization, and society. The paper should outline each lens’s impact and framing of the issue or event. Be sure to provide a working thesis statement and
clear definitions for your key terms.
Specifically, you must address the critical elements listed below.
I. Introduction: You will compile a series of critical analyses of a single event or issue in globalization through the four general education lenses: history,
humanities, natural and applied sciences, and social sciences.
A. Topic: Using the four lenses, explain how an issue or event within globalization has or has not influenced modern society.
II. Lens Connections: In this section of your assignment, you will describe the connections between your issue or event and each of the four general
education lenses.
A. What is the connection of your issue or event to the lens of history for determining its impact on various institutions? Utilize evidence
from theory and research to support your analysis.
B. What is the connection of your issue or event to the lens of the humanities? Utilize evidence from theory and research to support your
analysis.

I define mixed methods and show that systematic mixed methods can be well organised, with transparent data coding and case-wise data held carefully for hypothesis testing. I list the relevant textbooks. I challenge the schism idea that qualitative methods are intrinsically opposed to what is usually done with quantitative methods. I show how an integrated approach can be begun, giving examples. Suitable to professional researchers, those doing focus groups, and those wanting more background for their qualitative research to come from quantitative data.

Arguments of Defintion
Chapter 9
Arguments of DefinitionThese arguments are particularly powerful in that they help determine what something or someone is. Thus, they can result in inclusion or exclusion.They help us recognize that classifications change over time and are the result of cultural, social, and political forces.Definitions often serve group agendas while ignoring or attempting to silence others.Often evolve from daily life.
Arguments of DefinitionWe rely on definition for successful, efficient communication.As you have experienced with the Fact Paper, our ability to make an argument is limited when we cannot appeal to values.Contrary to the belief that values diminish the validity of an argument by rendering it mere opinion, values are a necessary part of the argument.Indeed, they are the very heart of an argument.Thus, evaluative terms are notoriously difficult to define.
Formal Definitions
(pp.200-201)Questions related to genus:Is assisting in suicide a crime?Is NASCAR a sport?Is rap poetry?What is an X [insert your own choice here]
Questions related to species:Is marijuana a relatively harmless drug or a dangerous, addictive one?Is Saudi Arabia an ally or an opponent of the USA?Is TV’s “Survivor” a reality show or a game show?Is X a Y or a Z [Insert your own topic}
Questions related to conditions:Should a woman be held to the same physical requirements as a man in order to join the military?Should everyone pay the same percentage of their income taxes regardless of their income?Are high scores on the SAT’s a fair condition for entrance into universities?Must X occur in order for Y? [Insert your topic]
Questions related to the fulfillment of conditions:Should academic scholarships count as taxable income?Should nontraditional educated experiences, such as semesters abroad and internships, count for college credit?Should X be counted as Y for the purposes of Z? [Insert your topic]
In summary, keep in mind that you can approach an argument of definition by:
Formulating a definition (What is X?): “Terrorism is any non-wartime act of violence undertaken for political gain.”Negative definition (Y is not X.): “Violence undertaken as part of a revolt against an oppressive regime is not terrorism.”Definition by Example (Y is/is not X): “The Irish Republican Army is/is not a terrorist organization.”
Other items to consider:Who is your specific audience?What are the counter-arguments to your proposed definition?In other words, anticipate oppositional stances.How would you refute those stances?Do not forget about visuals and design of arguments of definition.Matching claims to definitions is critical.

Legal Knowledge Conveyed by Narratives: towards a representational modelGiovanni Sileno
The paper investigates a representational model for narratives, aiming to facilitate the acquisition of the systematic core of stories concerning legal cases, i.e. the set of causal and temporal relationships that govern the world in which the narrated scenario takes place. At the discourse level, we consider narratives as sequences of messages collected in an observation, including descriptions of agents, of agents’ behaviour and of mechanisms relative to physical, mental and institutional domains. At the content level, stories correspond to synchronizations of embodied agent-roles scripts. Following this approach, the Pierson v Post case is analyzed in detail and represented as a Petri net.
CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

Automobile Management System Project Report.pdfKamal Acharya
The proposed project is developed to manage the automobile in the automobile dealer company. The main module in this project is login, automobile management, customer management, sales, complaints and reports. The first module is the login. The automobile showroom owner should login to the project for usage. The username and password are verified and if it is correct, next form opens. If the username and password are not correct, it shows the error message.
When a customer search for a automobile, if the automobile is available, they will be taken to a page that shows the details of the automobile including automobile name, automobile ID, quantity, price etc. “Automobile Management System” is useful for maintaining automobiles, customers effectively and hence helps for establishing good relation between customer and automobile organization. It contains various customized modules for effectively maintaining automobiles and stock information accurately and safely.
When the automobile is sold to the customer, stock will be reduced automatically. When a new purchase is made, stock will be increased automatically. While selecting automobiles for sale, the proposed software will automatically check for total number of available stock of that particular item, if the total stock of that particular item is less than 5, software will notify the user to purchase the particular item.
Also when the user tries to sale items which are not in stock, the system will prompt the user that the stock is not enough. Customers of this system can search for a automobile; can purchase a automobile easily by selecting fast. On the other hand the stock of automobiles can be maintained perfectly by the automobile shop manager overcoming the drawbacks of existing system.
Courier management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
It is now-a-days very important for the people to send or receive articles like imported furniture, electronic items, gifts, business goods and the like. People depend vastly on different transport systems which mostly use the manual way of receiving and delivering the articles. There is no way to track the articles till they are received and there is no way to let the customer know what happened in transit, once he booked some articles. In such a situation, we need a system which completely computerizes the cargo activities including time to time tracking of the articles sent. This need is fulfilled by Courier Management System software which is online software for the cargo management people that enables them to receive the goods from a source and send them to a required destination and track their status from time to time.

Aligning Law and Action
1. Aligning Law
and Action
a conceptual and computational inquiry
Giovanni Sileno
Leibniz Center for Law – Faculty of Law
University of Amsterdam
Ph.D. Thesis Defense – 8 December 2016
3. Problem context, consequences
In practice, the same expectations
we have towards an ATM..
an engineering problem?
→ Increased expectations towards
administrative organizations:
●
efficiency, in terms of resources spent,
●
efficacy, in terms of impact,
●
agility, in terms of:
– rapidity of response (responsiveness)
4. Problem context, consequences
→ Increased expectations towards
administrative organizations:
●
efficiency, in terms of resources spent,
●
efficacy, in terms of impact,
●
agility, in terms of:
– rapidity of response to failures (responsiveness)
– easiness of adaptation (adaptability)
5. Initial research question
●
How to establish a constructive computational
legal theory which supports administrative
organizations in achieving better responsiveness and
adaptability?
6. sources

15. Institutional positions
●
In a formal institution, each actor is bound to other
actors according to certain legal relationships,
associated to legal positions.
●
Hohfeld [1917] introduced a visual organization of
fundamental legal positions encountered in
adjudications.

judicial reasoning. The Yale Law Journal, 1917.
18. Similar asymmetries
These asymmetries can be explained by referring to
the standard axioms of deontic logic, here
represented on a portion of the Aristotelian square.

33. The Dutch Declaration of Independence
Act of Abjuration (1581)
Negative liability – confirmation
“Know all men by these presents [..] we
have unanimously and deliberately
declared [..] that the King of Spain has
forfeited, ipso jure, all hereditary right to
the sovereignty of those countries, and are
determined from henceforward not to
acknowledge his sovereignty or jurisdiction
[..], nor suffer others to do it.”
35. From institutional to agentive
●
intuition: correlativeness of legal relationships holding
between two parties can be put in relation with the
correlativeness of the agent with his own
environment
investigating a kind of
“contract for living”
36. Why is this important?
●
It provides a richer expressivity than usual
intentional models.
●
It shows is a deep connection between practical
reasoning and normative reasoning categories:
Law is embedded with a theory of mind.
37. Cognitive grounding
→ Mapping of general reasoning questions:
●
From commitment to action
– What is to be done?
●
From commitment to monitoring
– What is to be paid attention to?
38. “It is obligatory to finish the
thesis in four years.”
“It is forbidden that four years
are spent without finishing the
thesis.”
Are they the same?
39. “It is obligatory to finish the
thesis in four years.”
~ obl(thesis ¬4ypassed)∨
“It is forbidden that four years
are spent without finishing the
thesis.”
~ forb(¬thesis 4ypassed)∧
obl(A) forb(¬A)↔
Deontic logic would say yes.
40. “It is obligatory to finish the
thesis in four years.”
“It is forbidden that four years
are spent without finishing the
thesis.”
But in principle they activate different
patterns (ACQUIRE vs PREVENT)
→ different susceptibilities!
44. Service model
Checking alignment between models
are they
“compatible”?
Normative model
(after execution: yes!)
→ alternative interpretations can be accounted
NOTE: normative model issued after interpretation
Deciding the final interpretation is
a matter of justification, and then argumentation...

47. Outlining the kernel of agency
●
The core problem – of normative, epistemic and
ontological frictions – is more general than the legal
domain, and it is related to the different modalities
we attribute to reality.
collective
individual
physical
48. ●
Importance of acknowledging the deep interaction
of normative concepts with practical reasoning,
●
Necessity of mapping constructivist and
pluralistic approaches in technological terms
– incremental acquisition of relevant cases
– maintenance of alternative interpretations
