Wonderful win by the Canadian men's team at the World Cup, 6-0! Still, quite sad about Koné's severe injury during the match. Thanks Nathan Saliba for showing Koné's jersey after your goal; classy!
Just out! This research manifesto on Agentic BPM results from a week-long Dagsthul Seminar. I'm biased, but this paper offers great insight about what is coming next in that space, including a conceptual architecture and current research challenges. Enjoy! authors.elsevier.com/c/1myN-15hGZ...

New @sosym.org paper on "SymboleoAC: an access control model for smart legal contracts", co-authored by Sofana Alfuhaid, Amal Anda, John Mylopoulos, Marco Revi and me! SymboleoAC adds RBAC-based concepts to Symboleo (a language for specifying legal contracts), with tool support. See rdcu.be/eTCt9

Luigi Logrippo was my MSc/ PhD supervisor in 1992-2001. We had dinner at my place on Friday, with other colleagues. We also have another paper coming out soon in the AI & Law journal! I feel very lucky to have been collaborating with him for 33 years! Not sure I will offer this to my students :-)
Four weeks ago, I had the privilege to participate to my first Dagstuhl Seminar, in excellent company (yeah, I finally got one of these pictures!). The 22 of us focused on "AUTOBIZ: Pushing the Boundaries of AI-Driven Process Execution and Adaptation" for a week. More on this topic soon... :-)

At the SnT (Univ. Luxemburg) on May 12, I presented our work on the use of the #Symboleo formal language for converting legal contracts to #SmartContracts, and results in using LLMs (of course!) to generate Symboleo specifications from English contracts. Presentation slides: lnkd.in/euUPUk3x
