Apologies for cross-postings. Please send it to interested colleagues and students. Thanks! Call for Papers: The 9th International Web Rule Symposium (RuleML) ================================================================== August 3-5, 2015, Freie Universität Berlin, Berlin, Germany http://2015.ruleml.org The annual International Web Rule Symposium (RuleML) is the leading international event in the field of rules and their applications. RuleML 2015, the ninth event in this series, will be held in conjunction with The Conference on Automated Deduction (CADE) and The Conference on Web Reasoning and Rule Systems (RR) in Berlin, Germany, and will be immediately followed by the Reasoning Web Summer School. RuleML 2015 will host multiple tracks on Complex Event Processing, Existential Rules and Datalog+/, Industry, Legal Rules and Reasoning and Rule Learning, as well as hosting the 9th International Rule Challenge and the 5th RuleML Doctoral Consortium. Objectives ---------- RuleML 2015 will bring together practitioners, interested in the theory and applications of rules in academic research, industry, engineering, business and other diverse application areas. It will provide a forum for stimulating co-operation and cross-fertilization between the many different communities focused on the research and development of rule-based systems. The symposium's areas of research and development have helped drive rapid progress in technologies for practical rule and event processing in distributed enterprise, intranets, and open distributed environments. Industry practitioners, rule-system providers, users of rules, technical experts and developers, and researchers who are exploring foundational issues, developing systems and applications, or using rule- based systems are invited to share ideas, results, and experiences. Topics ------ Then conference will have 5 special tracks, as well as general sessions. The tracks are: * Complex Event Processing * Existential Rules and Datalog+/ * Legal Rules and Reasoning * Rule Learning * Industry We invite high-quality submissions related (but not limited) to the special tracks and within the general theme of the conference. Track Topics ------------ Complex Event Processing (Main theme: Uncertainty Handling in Complex Event Processing) - Scalable CEP under uncertainty - Visual analytics for CEP systems - Distributed CEP under uncertainty - Real-world applications of CEP - Event forecasting under uncertainty - Privacy issues in CEP - Multi-scale temporal aggregation of events - Benchmarks and testbeds for CEP - Machine learning for event processing and forecasting Existential Rules and Datalog+/ - Decidability paradigms for existential rules - Consistent query answering - Reasoning and querying - Query Rewriting - Nonmonotonic reasoning - Query Optimization - Probabilistic reasoning - Ontology Languages - Data and knowledge integration and exchange - Ontology-based Data Access System - Conceptual modeling - Descriptions and applications - Semi-structured data, graph databases and (Semantic) Web data Legal Rules and Reasoning - Learning from legal texts - Modeling normative rules - Reguratory compliance by rules - Modeling legislation - XML, standards for legal documents - Legal ontology - Semantic Web in Legal Domain - Legal Open Data and Rules - Reasoning about normative rules - Normative rules extraction by natural language processing Rule Learning - Inductive rule learning - Classification rules - Association rules - Learning rules for the semantic web - Preference rules - Rule-based recommender systems - Relational learning - Learning business rules - Descriptive rule learning - Predictive rule learning Other Topics - Rules and automated reasoning - Rule-based policies, reputation, and trust - Reaction rules - Rules and the Web - Rule discovery from data - Fuzzy rules and uncertainty - Logic programming and nonmonotonic reasoning - Non-classical logics and the Web (e.g modal, especially deontic and epistemic, logics) - Hybrid methods for combining rules and statistical machine learning techniques (e.g., conditional random fields, Probabilistic Soft Logic) - Rule transformation and extraction - Vocabularies, ontologies, and business rules - Rule markup languages and rule interchange formats - Rule-based distributed/multi-agent systems - Rules, agents, and norms - Rule-based communication, dialogue, and argumentation models - Rule-based data integration - Vocabularies and ontologies for pragmatic primitives (e.g. speech acts and deontic primitives) - Pragmatic web reasoning and distributed rule inference / rule execution - Rules in online market research and online marketing - Applications of rule technologies in health care and life sciences - Rules and Human Language Technology - Industrial applications of rules - Rules and business process compliance checking - Standards activities related to rules - Rules and social media - General rule topics Student Travel Support ---------------------- Student Travel Support of EUR 500 will be provided for the two best student (first author) submissions. For a paper to be considered, its first author must be a student. Proof of studentship will be required at time of registration. More detailed information on how to apply will be sent to authors of accepted papers through Easychair.
