The main objective of E-Arbitration-T Project is to develop and validate the regulatory structure and the dynamic and intelligent infrastructure needed to allow simple and efficient distributed processes in electronic out-of-court dispute settlement systems.

Brunel's contribution is to employ Business Process Simulation techniques in the development and evaluation of the IS functions which monitor the proceedings and guide parties and arbitrators through the online process. The team at Brunel contributing to this EU funded international project is:

• Dr Tony Elliman (principal investigator and senior lecturer)
• Julie Eatock (E-Arbitration-T research assistant)
• Dr Tillal Eldabi (co-investigator and lecturer)
