*** DEADLINE EXTENSION ***
The Third International Conference on
Web Reasoning and Rule Systems (RR 2009)
http://www.rr-conference.org/RR2009
Chantilly, Virginia, USA
October 25-26, 2009
Co-located with the International Semantic Web Conference '09
*New deadline Abstract submission* : July 5, 2009
*New deadline Paper submission* : July 12, 2009
The International Conference on Web Reasoning and Rule Systems (RR) is
a major forum for discussion and dissemination of new results
concerning Web Reasoning and Rule Systems. RR 2009 builds on the
success of the first two International Conferences on Web Reasoning
and Rule Systems, held in 2007 in Innsbruck and in and 2008 in
Karlsruhe, which received enthusiastic support from the Web Rules
community. In 2009, RR will continue the excellence of the new series
and aim to attract the best Web Reasoning and Rules researchers from
all over the world.
Suggested topics include the following, which is not to be considered
as an exhaustive list:
* Representation techniques for web-based knowledge
* Acquisition of rules and ontologies by knowledge extraction
* Combining open and closed-world reasoning
* Combining rules and ontologies
* Design and analysis of reasoning languages
* Efficiency and benchmarking
* Implemented tools and systems
* Foundations and applications related to relevant standardization
bodies such as the W3C Rule Interchange Format (RIF), Web Ontology
Language (OWL2) and SPARQL working groups, or the W3C Uncertainty
Reasoning for the World Wide Web Incubator Group, etc.
* Ontology usability
* Ontology languages and their relationships
* Querying and optimization
* Rules and ontology management (such as inconsistency handling and
evolution)
* Reasoning with uncertainty and under inconsistency
* Reasoning with constraints
* Rule languages and systems
* Rule interchange formats and Rule markup languages
* Scalability vs. expressivity of reasoning on the web
* Approximate reasoning techniques for the Web
* Integration of statistical methods and symbolic reasoning
* Semantic Web Services modeling and applications
* Web and Semantic Web applications and experience papers
