New tools from fields such as Artificial Intelligence should be considered in the process of developing novel Online Dispute Resolution platforms, in order to make the ligation process simpler, faster and conform with the new virtual environments.

Developed societies are registering a dramatic change in terms of population evolution, being the most important fact the high tendency in the ageing of the whole population. An alarming fact is that the birth-rate is dropping very fast, inverting the ageing pyramid that used to have a higher incidence on the young population, now having a higher incidence in the older population.

New applications have been developed and some services are now provided at home, allowing the older people to stay home instead of having to stay in hospitals. But an adequate response to the needs of the users will imply a high percentage of ...
Virtual environments, such as Online Dispute Resolution, don’t have the rich context of traditional environments do.

Information Retrieval is a theme that is so multifaceted as it is its significance to any knowledge-based sphere of influence. This is true in The Law, especially when we judge under the angle of the so-called On-line Dispute Resolution. Indeed, there is the need to analyze and develop efficient information retrieval methods that may improve the course of actions that depend on such techniques. It was under th...
The development of electronic commerce in the last years results in a new type of trade which the traditional legal systems are not ready to deal with. Moreover, the number of consumer claims increased mainly due to the increase in B2C relations and many of these are not getting a satisfactory response. Hav- ing this in mind, together with the slowness of the judicial system and the cost/beneficial relation...
12th IFIP Working Conference on VIRTUAL ENTERPRISES, 17 - 19 October 2011 - São Paulo, Brazil ; Conflicts are frequent in virtually every scenario involving complex interactions. Collaborative Networks, in which there is a compromise between skills, competencies and resources, are not an exception. Moreover, these conflicts can be different in nature, ranging from cultural or relational conflicts to conflicts ...
Em diversos sectores da sociedade, a resolução de litígios pelos tribunais tem se revelado menos viável, mais morosa e custosa. Para contornar algumas das imperfeições dos sistemas jurídicos convencionais surgiram os processos de resolução alternativa de conflitos (ADR).
