Abstract

Legal computing provides IT supports or services to the legal community. Contexts of legal environments have impacts on the adjudication regarding law, regulations, and contracts. Modeling and analysis of the contexts is critical for delivery of legal services. Legal computing needs an approach to model the variety of entities in the legal community and legal clauses or rules, and simulate and analyze the interactions between the entities and rules. This paper proposes to apply bigraph theory to model roles of human beings in a society with bigraph place and link structures, and laws and regulations that the roles should obey with bigraphical reaction systems (BRS). A preliminary study shows that the proposed approach produces interesting results, and has potentials in legal computing area.
