The RuleML 2011 doctoral consortium is a new initiative of the
International Symposium on Rules, RuleML, to attract and promote Ph.D.
research in the area of Rules and Markup Languages. The doctoral
symposium offers to students a close contact with leading experts on
the field, as well as the opportunity to present and discuss their
ideas in a dynamic and friendly setting. The accepted thesis
descriptions will be presented to an interested audience and subject to
discussion with a panel of senior researchers, and we expect
submissions on any of this year's RuleML topics:

- Rules and Automated Reasoning
- Logic Programming and Non-monotonic Reasoning
- Rules, Agents and Norms
- Rule-Based Distributed/Multi-Agent Systems
- Rule-Based Policies, Reputation and Trust
- Rule-based Event Processing and Reaction Rules
- Fuzzy Rules and Uncertainty
- Rule Transformation and Extraction
- Vocabularies, Ontologies, and Business rules

Accepted submissions will be published in internal proceedings and
later on published in CEUR Workshop Proceedings volume of RuleML.
