CfP: RuleML+RR Doctoral Consortium 2021

The RuleML+RR Doctoral Consortium 2021 is an initiative of the RuleML+RR 
community to attract and promote student research in Artificial 
Intelligence, especially research on rule-based formalisms and 
reasoning. It offers students a close contact with leading experts in 
the field, as well as the opportunity to present and discuss their ideas 
in a dynamic and friendly setting. This DC is organized as part of 
Declarative AI 2021: Rules, Reasoning, Decisions, and Explanations (8-15 
September 2021).

We invite PhD students at an early or intermediate stage of their PhD 
studies as well as exceptional Master’s students who are interested in 
pursuing a PhD to submit papers describing their research on any of the 
topics of interest to RuleML+RR 2021.

DC papers are limited to 8 pages written in English following the LNCS 
format http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html and submitted 
electronically in PDF format jointly with a maximum 2 pages CV.

The submission should cover the following aspects:
     • A clear formulation of the research question and the motivation.
     • An identification of the significant problem 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 and its positioning 
in the field.
     • A description of the student 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.
     • A research plan and the potential achievements.

The accepted DC papers will be presented to an interested audience and 
will be discussed with a panel of senior researchers from academia and 
the industry. Students will present their work through brief oral 
presentations during a dedicated session of RuleML+RR.
