Leonid Libkin (University of Edinburgh, UK)
Nicola Leone (University of Calabria, Italy)

== Doctoral Consortium ==
Following the success of its first edition at RR 2012, RR 2013 will
also host a doctoral consortium, which will provide doctoral students
in Web Reasoning and related areas with the unique opportunity to
present and discuss their research directions, being involved into
state-of-the-art research discussion and being supported in
establishing fruitful collaborations with prominent researchers and
pioneers in the field of Web Reasoning and Rules and related areas.


== Publication ==
The conference proceedings will be published by Springer within the
Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. After the conference,
authors of selected papers will be invited to submit extended versions
of their papers to a special issue of a prestigious international
journal.


== Submissions ==
Submissions must be prepared in Springer's LaTeX style llncs
(http://www.springer.com/comp/lncs/Authors.html).

There are two submission formats:

- Full papers (up to 15 pages)
  Original research works in the above areas
- Technical Communications (up to 6 pages)
  Results and ideas of interest to the RR audience, including reports
  about recent own publications, position papers, system descriptions
  and application descriptions (accompanying a demo), 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 and/or a system demo.

Submissions can be made in EasyChair:
      http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=rr-2013
Submission instructions for the RR 2013 Doctoral Consortium will be
communicated by means of a separate Call for Papers.


== Best Paper Award and Best Student Paper Award==
Awards for Best Paper and Best Student Paper will be presented to the
corresponding author(s) at the conference. The best student paper will
be selected among the ones written mainly by students (i.e. persons
not holding a PhD as of March 30, 2013), and the Best Student Paper
award will be assigned only in case a student is not one of the main
authors of the paper winning the Best Paper award. To qualify for the
Best Student Paper award, the authors must indicate their eligibility
upon submission at easychair.
