Apologies for cross-posting ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS RuleML 2011@IJCAI 5th International Symposium on Rules: Research Based, Industry Oriented Barcelona, Spain, 19-21 July 2011 http://2011.ruleml.org About RuleML 2011 Symposia -------------------------- The International Symposium on Rules, RuleML, has evolved from an annual series of international workshops since 2002, international conferences in 2005 and 2006, and international symposia since 2007. In 2011 two instalments of the RuleML Symposium will take place. The first one will be held in conjunction with IJCAI 2011 (International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence) in Barcelona in July, and the second will be co-located with the Business Rule Forum to be held in late October-early November in North America including Challenge Award that this year will be dedicate to Rules and Ontologies. For RuleML-2011@IJCAI a selection of the best papers will be presented during a joint session with IJCAI, and the authors of such papers will be invited to submit a revised version of their papers for inclusion in the IJCAI proceedings. Objectives ---------- RuleML-2011@IJCAI is a research-based, industry-focused symposium: its main goal is to build a bridge between academia and industry in the field of rules and semantic technology, and so to stimulate the cooperation and interoperability between business and research, by bringing together rule system providers, participants in rule standardization efforts, open source communities, practitioners, and researchers. The concept of the symposium has also advanced continuously in the face of extremely rapid progress in practical rule and event processing technologies. As a result, RuleML-2011 will feature hands-on demonstrations and challenges alongside a wide range of thematic tracks. It will thus be an exciting venue to exchange new ideas and experiences on all issues related to the engineering, management, integration, interoperation, and interchange of rules in distributed enterprise intranets and open distributed environments. Topics ------ As in the previous years the Symposium will be organized in tracks, specifically for RuleML-2011@IJCAI the focus will be on the following areas: - Rules and Automated Reasoning - Logic Programming and Non-monotonic Reasoning - Rules, Workflows and Business Processes - Rules, Agents and Norms - Rule-Based Distributed/Multi-Agent Systems - Rule-Based Policies, Reputation and Trust - Rule-based Event Processing and Reaction Rules - Fuzzy Rules and Uncertainty - Rule Transformation and Extraction - Vocabularies, Ontologies, and Business rules Submission Guidelines --------------------- Authors are invited to submit original contributions of practical relevance and technical rigor in the field, experience reports and show case/use case demonstrations of effective, practical, deployable rule-based technologies or applications in distributed environments. Papers must be in English and may be submitted at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ruleml2011@ijcai as: Full Papers (15 pages in the proceedings) Short Papers (8 pages in the proceedings) Please upload all submissions as PDF files in LNCS format (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html). To ensure high quality, submitted papers will be carefully peer-reviewed by at least 3 PC members based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of exposition. Publications ------------ The selected papers will be published in book form in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. Authors of the best papers will be invited to submit a revised version of their papers for inclusion in the IJCAI 2011 Proceedings. Important Dates --------------- Abstract submission: February 25, 2011 (11:59PM, UTC-12) Paper submission: March 4, 2011 (11:59PM, UTC-12) Notification of acceptance/rejection: March 31, 2011 Camera-ready copy due: April 15, 2011 RuleML-2011 dates: July 19-21, 2011 Other Activities ---------------- Apart from the rigorous scientific paper sessions, few other collocated activities are planned, such as workshops focused on rule-specific areas, a PhD student workshop, and a poster-demo session, where researchers can demonstrate hands-on experience about solving real-world problems with rule-based applications. Optionally, demos can also be considered for the RuleML Challenge that will take place at the RuleML at BRF. Stay tuned on the symposium site for future announcements about these activities.
