Description
-----------
The RuleML 2012 Doctoral Consortium is an initiative of the International
Symposium on Rules, RuleML, to attract and promote Ph.D. research in the
area of Rules and Markup Languages. The doctoral symposium offers to
students a close contact with leading experts on the field, as well as the
opportunity to present and discuss their ideas in a dynamic and friendly
setting. The accepted thesis descriptions will be presented to an
interested audience and subject to discussion with a panel of senior
researchers, and we expect submissions on any (but not limited to) of this
year's RuleML2012@ECAI topics.

Students are invited to submit an original description of their work
addressing the following aspects:

   * A clear formulation of the research question.
   * An identification of the significant problems in the field of
     research.
   * An outline of the current knowledge of the problem domain, as well as
     the state of existing solutions.
   * A presentation of any preliminary ideas, the proposed approach and
     the results achieved so far.
   * A sketch of the applied research methodology.
   * A description of the Ph.D. project's contribution to the problem
     solution.
   * A discussion of how the suggested solution is different, new, or
     better as compared to existing approaches to the problem.

Accepted submissions will be published in internal proceedings and later on
published in CEUR Workshop Proceedings (http://www.ceur-ws.org) volume of
RuleML.
