LAST CALL FOR POSTERS (extended deadline: August 8, 2018)


The International Joint Conference on Rules and Reasoning (RuleML+RR), the
leading international joint conference in the field of rule-based
reasoning, calls for additional short poster papers related to theoretical advances,
novel technologies, and innovative applications concerning knowledge
representation and reasoning with rules. Stemming from the synergy between
the well-known RuleML and RR events, one of the main goals of this
conference is to build bridges between academia and industry.

RuleML+RR 2018 aims to bring together rigorous researchers and inventive
practitioners, interested in the foundations and applications of rules and
reasoning in academia, industry, engineering, business, finance, healthcare
and other application areas. It will provide a forum for stimulating
cooperation and cross-fertilization between the many different communities
focused on the research, development and applications of rule-based systems.

RuleML+RR 2018 will take place in Luxembourg on September 18th-21th 2018
and will be part of the Luxembourg Logic for AI Summit (LuxLogAI) "Methods
and Tools for Responsible  AI", bringing together RuleML+RR 2018,
DecisionCAMP 2018, the Reasoning Web Summer School (RW 2018),
the Global Conference on Artificial Intelligence (GCAI 2018) and
the annual meeting of the Deduction Systems group (Deduktionstreffen 2018)
of the German Gesellschaft für Informatik (GI e.V.).

* Industrial applications of rules
* Rules and social media
* Rules of ethics, laws, policies, and regulations

Particularly encouraged are submissions that combine one or several of the
above topics with the overall focus theme of the LuxLogAI Summit: "Methods
and Tools for Responsible AI".

== BEST POSTER AWARD ==

A Best Poster Award will be given to the best poster presentation.
Two evaluation criteria will be taken into account:

Research quality: originality and technical quality of the work, as well as the methodology,
execution and evaluation of the results.
Presentation: the extent to which the poster is able to effectively convey the research to
an audience (e.g., consider clarity, self-explanatory nature and layout).

== SUBMISSION ==

Poster papers describing a poster for the poster session and ranging between 2-5 pages
can be submitted at EasyChair for the Poster Session track at
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=rulemlrr2018 .

Please upload all submissions in LNCS format. To ensure high quality, submitted poster papers
will be carefully peer-reviewed by the PC members based on significance and relevance
for the community.

Accepted poster papers will published as CEUR Proceedings.
