==Submissions==



The Challenge seeks high quality, original papers, potentially

referencing online material, and ranging between 5-15 pages. Papers

must be original contributions written in English and should be

submitted at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=rulemlrr2018 ,

choosing the "Int'l Rule Challenge" track.



To ensure high quality, submitted papers will be carefully

peer-reviewed by 3 PC members based on clarity and significance of

objectives and demonstration of results.





Submissions should address the following, where applicable:



    - Explain the objectives, outcomes, benefits as you are going

      beyond the state of the art in technology, the application

      domain, and so on.



    - Demonstrate the results with a concrete example balancing conciseness

      and completeness.



    - Preferably (but not necessarily) embed the tool in a web-based

      or distributed environment or a mobile environment.



    - Present end-user interactions, providing an adequate and usable

      interface that facilitates the usage of the application.



    - Mention the availability of the software and data, data

      interchange, and possible tool extensions.



    - Provide a web-link to the project site, online demonstration, or

      download site.





Please upload all submissions in LNCS format. International Rule

Challenge 2018 proceedings will be published as CEUR Proceedings and

indexed by SCOPUS.
