Aims and  Audience
==================
The workshop aims to to be a common space where those with experience or 
interest
in rule modeling, rule languages and rule engines  meet researchers with 
expertise
in other areas such as:  Artificial Intelligence, Business Process 
Modeling,
Cloud Computing, Intelligent Agents, Model-Driven Architecture, and 
Semantic Web.

Attending this workshop will give researchers the possibility to 
identify new
trends and challenges in rule-based applications, and it will provide a 
forum for
potential users of innovative AI techniques.


Topics of Interest
==================
The workshop seeks contributions addressing,
but not limited to, the following topics:
  * Artificial Intelligence Rules and Rule Systems
  * Best Practices in Business Rules
  * Combining rules and ontologies
  * Rules in Enterprise Modeling
  * Implemented tools and systems
  * Rules and Web Services Integration
  * Rules Modeling and Business Processes (including Production Rules 
and ECA Rules)
  * Rule base Visualization, Verbalization, Validation, Verification and 
Exception Handling.
  * Rule-based agents modeling and simulation
  * Rule-based modeling of mechanisms, policies, strategies and contracts.
  * Rule Engines Architectures
  * Rules in Web 2.0 and Enterprise 2.0
