Legal Aspects of Artificial Intelligence Abstract The inclusion and further development of artificial intelligence creates novel legal challenges. This thesis attempts to chronologically follow the "life cycle" of artificial intelligence. Firstly, the very concept of artificial intelligence and other related technical and legal terms are explained. Secondly, the creators rights to artificial intelligence are described, as well as the employees role in the development of artificial intelligence. The thesis concludes with an analysis of the "creative" possibilities of contemporary artificial intelligence, along with the current Czech regulation of copyright protection. In this thesis the author tries to make the complex issue of the current state of legal regulation of artificial intelligence and its development tendencies accessible to lawyers. This is achieved by on one hand covering the capabilities of artificial intelligence and on the other hand by emphasizing the limitations of todays artificial intelligence. In the conclusion of the introductory chapter, the author offers a legal definition of artificial intelligence for the needs of copyright law. Furthermore, the thesis discusses the legal status of the programmer as a creator of artificial intelligence, and of IT companies in business...

The phase identification of a polycrystalline mixture by X-ray powder diffraction data is often requested for studying materials interesting to different scientific and technological fields: chemistry, pharmaceutics, mineralogy, archeometry, forensic science, etc. The availability of user friendly computer programs, able to carry out qualitative phase analysis in efficient and possibly automatic way, is extremely useful to the scientific community involved in powder diffraction. QUALX2.0, the evolution of QUALX, is a freely distributed software for qualitative phase analysis. Based on the traditional search-match method, it is able to manage both a commercial database (PDF-2 maintained by ICDD), and a freely available database (POW_COD generated by the structure information contained in the Crystallography Open Database). QUALX2.0 is continuously improved in terms of computing and graphic tools. Correspondingly, the database POW_COD is suitably modified to make efficient the operations of search. The search-match approach can be facilitated by the use of restraints, when available, involving the chemical composition, the kind of compound(s) (e.g., organic, inorganic, etc.), the symmetry (space group, crystal system), the unit-cell parameters and/or volume, the crystal properties (measured and/or calculated crystal density, crystal color). An outline of the main features of QUALX2.0 and an example of application is described. (C) 2017 International Centre for Diffraction Data.

Copyright protection of computer programs This thesis deals with copyright protection of specific works of authorship - computer programs. The thesis deals with the definition of works of authorship and the conditions in which the computer program is a work of authorship, at least as a legal fiction. For the term computer program, the thesis is trying to find a suitable definition that is sufficiently general, but also accurately captures its notion. Various known forms of expression of the computer program (source code, machine code, but also a code in an intermediate language) are described and the thesis explains, why it is appropriate to protect the computer program in any form. The thesis clarifies, why the term "software" and the term "computer program" are not identical and arbitrarily exchanging them can cause problems. Furthermore, the thesis deals with the author of the computer program and co-authorship. The next part deals with the rights of the author of the work. The exclusive rights of the author (the moral rights of the author and copyright) are discussed. The thesis describes the rights of exploitation of a computer programs, with a focus on differences againts other works of authorship. One of the rights of the author is also the right to provide an authorization to exercise the right to...

The goal of this diploma thesis is to provide an overview of the increasingly more important world of copyright protection as it concerns computer programs. The focus of this overview being primarily that of the national law of the Czech Republic, however this diploma thesis takes into account international law where applicable as well. The thesis begins with an introduction into the very concept of copyright law, the definition of a copyrightable work and that of computer programs and terms related therein. What follows is a brief account of the history of computer programs and computer programing in general as a basis for the following legal perspective into the matter. An international overview of the subject matter follows, including a look at key moments from an international perspective at the field of copyright protection of computer programs, including a brief overview of the Berne Convention, the TRIPS Agreement as well as aspects of European Law. computer programs as subjects of copyright protection, including additional classification, are the basis of the next chapter, while an account of the specifics of authorship, co-authorship, collective works and works created under employment follows thereafter. The subject matter of copyright itself, distinctions therein, the subject matter of...

Economic analysis at South African Petroleum Refineries (Pty) Ltd.'s refinery in Durban, South Africa revealed costs savings of $1.5 million in 1 year, directly attributable to the use of an advanced blend-scheduling decision-support tool called MPMP (Multi-Period, Multi-Product). MPMP was developed by Shell Global Solutions International. The program optimizes refinery operations from the point at which rundown streams arrive from various process units for product blending. The optimization process is described. The program can be used on-line and off-line.

Due to the cost of extracting water, effective and efficient utilization of irrigation water for rice (Oryza sativa L.) is critical to rice farm profitability. The objective of this study is to predict safe stages of development for draining rice. This objective has the potential of saving rice farmers water. A computer program has been developed to predict the stage of development for draining water from rice field soils at which the risk of reduced grain yield or milling quality from insufficient water is considered to be near zero. The parameters of the model are predictions of (i) temperature during rice reproductive growth stages (RRGS) starting at R3, (ii) timing of various RRGS, (iii) maximum amount of water used by the rice crop at each growth stage, and (iv) the water held in the soil profile after draining which is available to the rice crop. The central goals of the model are to allow draining at an RRGS in which (a) the danger of reducing yield and quality from water deficits is at a minimum and (b) water is conserved and land conditions for harvest are improved. Experiments to test the predictions were conducted in 2005 and 2006 at two Arkansas locations: Gillett and Stuttgart. An experiment was also conducted at DeWitt, AR, in 2006. Draining at stages of development predicted by the model did not affect yield milling quality relative to the control for any year or location. Predicted water savings from reduced irrigation ranged between $10.26 to $55.44 ha(-1) depending on pump depth. Implementation of the program can save money, reduce tillage costs, and reduce unnecessary depletion of the aquifers.

A simple method for the non-linear static analysis of complex building structures subjected to monotonically increasing horizontal loading (push-over analysis) is presented. The method is designed to be a part of new methodologies for the seismic design and evaluation of structures. It is based on the extension of a pseudo-three-dimensional mathematical model of a building structure into the non-linear range. The structure consists of planar macroelements. For each planar macroelement, a simple bilinear or multilinear base shear-top displacement relationship is assumed. By a step-by-step analysis an approximate relationship between the global base shear and top displacement is computed. During the analysis the development of plastic hinges throughout the building can be monitored. The method has been implemented into a prototype computer program. In the paper the mathematical model, the base shear-top displacement relationships for different types of macroelements, and the step-by-step computational procedure are described. The method has been applied for the analysis of a symmetric and an asymmetric variant of a seven-storey reinforced concrete frame-wall building, as well as for the analysis of a complex asymmetric 21-storey reinforced concrete wall building. The influence of torsion on structural behaviour is discussed.

This diploma thesis describes Czech legislation on copyright protection of computer programs in European and international law context. The commentary is mostly focused on current, practical issues, which often arent clearly and satisfactorily solved, or issues which are subjects of current or recent litigations before European courts. First chapter introduces special characteristics of computer programs in copyright law, shortly mentions other possibilities of their legal protection and outlines some problems connected with massive technology development and international dimension of these questions, which are enlarged in following chapters. It also defines basic terminology used in the thesis. Chapter two, called "Sources of international and European law" mainly focuses on international treaties and EU directives, on which current Czech copyright protection of computer programs is based. Following chapter describes Czech copyright protection of computer programs, respecting, in general, structure of Czech Copyright Act and simultaneously gives deeper look into selected up to date problems. It compares computer programs with traditional copyrighted works, explains i.a. concept of "employees work" and closely focuses on authors moral and, mainly, economic rights. Special attention is dedicated...
