Upcoming RR deadlines and new TC format

Dear Web/ontology/semantics researchers,

the RR 2012 deadlines are near (papers next week, abstract registration 
this week [1]). Hence I'd like to draw attention to a new submission 
format this year: Technical Communications (TCs). The idea is to present 
ongoing or recently published work without submitting a full paper (TCs 
are 4 pages maximum; a full paper or report published elsewhere can back 
up the submission). Authors can thus reach a relevant audience and get 
valuable feedback (RR is well known for its lively discussions). To 
support this, the time given to talks is not determined by the 
submission format (see [1] for details).

This doesn't affect the importance of research papers. There will be 
Springer proceedings as usual. However, TCs can hopefully add some 
interesting features to the program. It is not too late to consider an 
own submission -- Vienna is always worth a visit.

Cheers,

Markus

P.S. Sorry for cross-posting this to multiple W3C lists. I wonder if one 
can configure one's W3C subscription to filter duplicates.
P.P.S. Let me also mention the RR Doctoral Consortium and Reasoning Web 
Summer School (just before RR). Especially US students should have a 
look at the travel grants (application deadlines are this week).

== RR ==

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.


== Highlights in 2012 ==

In addition to regular papers, RR 2012 solicits the submission of
TECHNICAL COMMUNICATIONS (TCs) that report about some interesting
recent work, preliminary result, or inspiring viewpoint. Selected
TCs will be invited for a full presentation like regular papers.

RR 2012 is co-located with a number of interesting events:

- 8th Reasoning Web Summer School
     4-8 September, http://reasoningweb.org/2012/
- COMMA 2012: 4th Int. Conf. on Computational Models of Argument
     10-12 September, http://www.kr.tuwien.ac.at/events/comma2012/
- DEXA 2012: 23rd Int. Conf. on Database and Expert Systems
     Applications 03-07 September, http://www.dexa.org/
- 2nd Workshop "Datalog 2.0"
     11-13 September, http://www.dbai.tuwien.ac.at/event/datalog-2.0/

The Reasoning Web Summer School is a great opportunity particularly
for young researchers to combine with attendance of the conference.
Submissions by summer school participants are particularly encouraged.


== Topics ==

RR welcomes original research from all areas of Web Reasoning.
Topics of particular interest are:

- Semantic Web, Rule and Ontology Languages, and related logics
- Reasoning, Querying, Searching and Optimization
- Incompleteness, Inconsistency and Uncertainty
- Non-monotonic, Commonsense, and Closed-World Reasoning for the Web
- Dynamic information, Stream Reasoning and Complex Event Processing
- Decision Making, Planning, and Intelligent Agents
- Reasoning, Machine Learning, Knowledge Extraction and
   IR Technologies
- Large-scale data management and reasoning on the Web of Data
- Data Integration, Dataspaces and Ontology-Based Data Access
- Non-Standard Reasoning
- Algorithms for distributed, parallelized, and scalable reasoning
- System Descriptions and Experimentation
- Applications and Experience Papers


== Submissions ==

The conference proceedings will be published by Springer within the
Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. Submissions must
be prepared in Springer's LaTeX style llncs (http://bit.ly/oPRW8y).
There are two submission formats:

- Full papers (up to 15 pages)
   Original research works in the above areas

- Technical Communications (up to 4 pages)
   Results and ideas with interest to the RR audience,
   including reports about recent own publications, position papers,
   and presentations of preliminary results

All accepted works will be included in the proceedings, with
Technical Communications clearly marked as such. All full papers and
selected Technical Communications will be invited to give a talk at
the conference. All accepted works will have the opportunity to
present a poster.

Submissions can be made in EasyChair:
