PRELIMINARY CALL FOR PAPERS RR 2007 The First International Conference on Web Reasoning and Rule Systems http://www.wrrs.info 7-8 June 2007, Innsbruck (Austria) Paper submission: by 29 Jan 2007 INTRODUCTION The International Conference on Web Reasoning and Rule Systems (RR) aims to be the major forum for discussion and dissemination of new results on all topics concerning Web Reasoning and Rule Systems. RR 2007 brings together three previously separate events: International Workshop on Principles and Practice of Semantic Web Reasoning (PPSWR), the International Conference on Rules and Rule Markup Languages for the Semantic Web (RuleML), and the International Workshop on Reasoning on the Web (RoW). This joint conference is devoted to all aspects of Semantic Web Reasoning, with an emphasis on rule-based approaches and languages. It welcomes both theoretical and practical submissions on this wide subject. The reasoning landscape features theoretical areas such as knowledge representation (KR) and algorithms; design aspects of rule markup; design of ontology languages; engineering of engines, translators, and other tools; standardization efforts, such as the Rules Interchange Format activity at W3C; and applications. Of particular interest is also the use of rules to facilitate ontology modeling, and the relationships and possible interactions between rules and ontology languages like RDF and OWL, as well as ontology reasoning related to RDF and OWL. The conference is organized by REWERSE and RuleML, and co-located with ESWC. SUBMISSIONS RR 2007 welcomes original research and application papers dealing with web reasoning and rule systems, with particular attention to the topics listed below. Submissions are expected by 15 Jan 2007 and should not exceed fifteen (15) pages in Springer LNCS format. Discussion is undergoing with Springer for publishing not only the normal conference proceedings (in the LNCS series), but also a special issue in a major international journal, containing revised versions of the best papers from the conference. Papers may be accepted as: full papers (15 pages in the proceedings) short papers (8 pages in the proceedings) posters (1 page in the proceedings) IMPORTANT DATES Paper Submission: 29 January 2007 Notification: 6 March, 2007 Camera-Ready Papers due: 19 March, 2007 Conference: 7-8 June, 2007 CONFERENCE TOPICS Submissions on all topics related to web reasoning and rules systems are welcomed, including (but not limited to) the following: Acquisition of rules and ontologies by knowledge extraction Combining open and closed-world reasoning Combining rules and ontologies Design and analysis of reasoning languages Implemented tools and systems Standardization efforts Ontology and rules usability Ontology and rule languages and their relationships Rules and ontology management (such as inconsistency handling and evolution) Reasoning with uncertainty and under inconsistency Reasoning with constraints Rule languages and systems Rule interchange formats and Rule markup languages Scalability vs. expressivity of reasoning on the web Modularization of rules and ontologies Semantic Web Services modeling and applications Web and Semantic Web applications ORGANIZATION Program Chairs: Massimo Marchiori (massimo@math.unipd.it) Jeff Z.
