There have been a number of attempts to use artificial intelligence techniques in the legal realm. Traditionally, researchers have tried to model either statutory laws (e.g., an expert system that determines whether a law has been broken), or to codify case law (precedent) in an effort to model legal reasoning (e.g., what precedent would apply to [...]
Working in RePast has not been terribly complex so long as I stay in the built-in environment (something very similar to remaining strictly in Processing). However, once I try to move RePast fully into Java, problems constantly arise. The following is an overall summary of all my work to dates, together with notes on issues. Research – [...]
I have been working regularly with Repast (repast.sourceforge.net) but I am continuing to have difficulties in using it in a “pure” Java mode. I was fortunate to be able to arrange a conference call among the lead developer, Michael North, and Heather Dewey-Hagborg and Dan Shiffman. It was recommended that I focus on the “ReLogo” [...]
I am trying to integrate RePast Simphony with Processing to build some legal simulations that would be useful pedagogical tools for law students and non-lawyers. These would be sandbox-like simulations of interaction between actors (people, corporations or other autonomous entities) and legal processes (legislation, law enforcement, regulatory entities, or other legal frameworks). A very simple [...]
During the last week I have been reviewing all the material I can find on modeling legal process using various simulation tools. There are a small handful of articles on using agents to simulate legal proceses, but none directly on point to my thesis. In addition, I have also been working in RePast Simphony and moving [...]
I had a call today with Dr. Michael North of the Argonne National Laboratory. Dr. North (Mike) is the lead developer of Repast Simphony and the Deputy Directory of the Center for Complex Adaptive Agent Systems Simulation. Dr. North was amazingly supportive and helpful with the initial questions and issues I have for my thesis. He has [...]

This is my current proposed subject for my Future of Infrastructure research paper. A few links that I found particularly interesting: Recent Washington Post Article Paper from the Naval Warfare College. Info from Defense Update. My initial thoughts — Erosion / Evolution of US Military Man-in-the-Middle Doctrine and the changing face of warfare There is [...]
