Abstract

This work analyzes two sources of law and elicit its underlying transactions. Then tries to model them using DEMO/PSI theory and analyzes the assumptions mismatches between law and DEMO/PSI. Design Engineering and Modeling for Organizations (DEMO) is a general-purpose theory and method to model interactions in society (between individuals and/or organizations) that uses a communication-centric approach. The Performance in Social Interactions (PSI) theory is a component of DEMO that explains a “universal transaction pattern” used to model those social interactions. The laws used as case studies are Portuguese contract law included in the Civil Code (from 1966); and the Common European Sales Law (CESL) from the European Union (EU), which is currently in final proposal stage. Through the analysis and discussion of these case studies, we suggest improvements to the DEMO/PSI theory based on the constraints expressed in those laws.
