Modelo de conhecimento para apoio ao juiz na fase processual trabalhista

Abstract

This thesis is based on the vision of the interdisciplinary areas of Knowledge Engineering and Law. The decision of the judge referring to the procedural law requires much effort to a judge for the analysis of the case to be available, which is a laborious activity and knowledgeintensive. This thesis deals with the modeling of the knowledge employed by the judge in the analysis and decision about the procedural law at the session of instruction and trial of the labor process, to support the activity of the judge and reuse of the knowledge that was explicited and organized. The study of the literature revealed a gap in the way that the judge examines and decides. The Brazilian legislation (CF, CLT, CPC) shows the outlines of the powers and duties assigned to the judge to conduct the process and judge, but does not consider the use of technological resources to support activity analysis, which is still done by manual search of judicial records and legislation and with the judge reading from the information in both paper-based process and in the electronic process. The research approach method is the deductive supported by the research procedures in the literature, interviews with the group of judges experts, discussion and formalization of their way to analyze with the use of questions, explicitation of the tacit knowledge of the judge, systemic vision of the organization using the CESM model, application of the context layer of CommonKADS methodology, proposition of the knowledge model, development and application of the evaluation questionnaire from the model with the labor judges. The main results showed that the knowledge model is useful to judges, allows quicker, more accurate, more standardized decisions, allows the reuse of analysis, supports the judge with the analysis and is the judge who is in charge of the decision.
