The Italian Ministry of Justice has recognized the opportunity to better assess the quality of Courts\u2019 management, seeking ways to implement Decision Support Systems to aid the work of Court Presidents. In collaboration with the Court of Livorno, which has provided data and case studies, KPIs and indicators have been developed, and have been later used within an Agent-based simulation framework to assess the behaviour of Chancellors and Judges in response to Court Presidents\u2019 decisions, and in particular to verify the effects of such decision on Processes\u2019 duration. This paper presents the Agent-based simulation approaches adopted to predict the effects of Presidents\u2019 decisions, by taking in consideration the behaviour of Chancellors and Judges, derived from the examination of past Trials, whose aspects have been recorded by the Court\u2019s digital system.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s12652-021-03490-5","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,18]],"date-time":"2021-09-18T05:02:30Z","timestamp":1631941350000},"page":"3645-3657","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Multi agents simulation of justice trials to support control management and reduction of civil trials duration"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7613-1312","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Beniamino","family":"Di Martino","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Antonio","family":"Esposito","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Luigi","family":"Colucci Cante","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"3490_CR1","first-page":"13","volume":"3","author":"F Bellifemine","year":"2002","unstructured":"Bellifemine F, Caire G, Trucco T, Rimassa G (2002) Jade programmers guide.
