Dear Colleagues,
I would like to encourage you to submit your to RuleML 2015 (http://2015.ruleml.org). It is an excellent opportunity for a high impact conference publication in the area or rule technologies (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RuleML_Symposium; e.g., RuleML is in the top 100 venues for impact factor in CiteSeerX http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/stats/venues). Also note, that there are several additional collocated events, e.g., the Recommender Systems for the Web of Data Challenge (http://2015.ruleml.org/recsysrules-2015.html), the Doctoral Consortium (http://2015.ruleml.org/DoctoralConsortium.html), the 9th International Rules Challenge with competitive prizes for the best rule base, the Reasoning Web Summer School, RR 2015 and the Workshop on Formal Ontologies meet Industry (http://www.csw.inf.fu-berlin.de/fomi2015/), as well as the 25th CADE 2015. If you are doing your Phd in this field I would like to point you to the Reasoning Web Summer School (http://www.csw.inf.fu-berlin.de/rw2015/) and the joint RuleML/RR Doctoral Consortium (http://2015.ruleml.org/DoctoralConsortium.html), where you can submit your PhD paper. Accepted RuleML PhD papers and demo papers will be published in the Challenge proceedings which are listed in DBLP (http://dblp1.uni-trier.de/db/conf/ruleml/) and fully indexed e.g. in Scopus. And, further interesting things will happen at RuleML 2015, such as an ISO Common Logic, OMG API4KB and OASIS LegalRuleML face-to-face meeting. We will also have a Berlin Semantic Web Meetup during RuleML on August 4th. Details will follow soon on the Meetup website: http://www.meetup.com/The-Berlin-Semantic-Web-Meetup-Group/. Please help to distribute the below CfP to your colleagues. Thank you and hope to see you in Berlin, Germany in August, Adrian Paschke (General Chair RuleML 2015) Prof. Dr. Adrian Paschke AG Corporate Semantic Web Freie Universitaet Berlin Germany http://www.mi.fu-berlin.de/en/inf/groups/ag-csw/ **** DEADLINE - Paper Submission March 4th **** Call for Papers: The 9th International Web Rule Symposium (RuleML 2015) ======================================================================== August 2-5, 2015, Freie Universitaet Berlin, Berlin, Germany <http://2015.ruleml.org> http://2015.ruleml.org ++++++++++++ News ++++++++++++++++ - Keynotes by Michael Genesereth on FOL Herbrand Semantics and Thom Fruewirth on Constraint Handling Rules - Tutorial Day http://2015.ruleml.org/tutorials.html - Industry Track http://2015.ruleml.org/industrytrack.html - 9th International Rule Challenge http://2015.ruleml.org/challenge.html - with challenge track "Rule-based Recommender Systems for the Web of Data" http://2015.ruleml.org/recsysrules-2015.html - and RuleML Rulebase Competition Award and Demo Award http://2015.ruleml.org/challenge.html - 5th Doctoral Consortium http://2015.ruleml.org/DoctoralConsortium.html - Student Travel support http://2015.ruleml.org/student-travel-support.html - Co-located with: CADE 2015, RR 2015, Reasoning Web 2015, FOMIS 2015 and further CADE workshops - Sponsors and Partners: ECCAI, AAAI, W3C, OMG, OASIS LegalXML, Association for Logic Programming, IEEE Technical Committee on Semantic Computing, IFCoLog, Signavio, Model Systems, Coherent Knowledge, Binarypark, ShareLatex, Corporate Semantic Web, Springer LNCS, Athan Services The annual International Web Rule Symposium (RuleML) is the leading international event in the field of rules and their applications. RuleML 2015, the ninth event in this series, will be held in Berlin, Germany, August 3-5 in conjunction with the Conference on Automated Deduction (CADE), the Workshop on Formal Ontologies meet Industry (FOMI), the Conference on Web Reasoning and Rule Systems (RR) and the Reasoning Web Summer School (RW). RuleML 2015 will host multiple tracks on Complex Event Processing, Existential Rules and Datalog+/-, Industry, Legal Rules and Reasoning and Rule Learning, as well as hosting the 9th International Rule Challenge, the 5th RuleML Doctoral Consortium, the RuleML tutorial day, and the 7th Workshop on Formal Ontologies meets Industry. Objectives ---------- RuleML 2015 will bring together practitioners, interested in the theory and applications of rules in academic research, industry, engineering, business and other diverse application areas. It will provide a forum for stimulating co-operation and cross-fertilization between the many different communities focused on the research and development of rule-based systems. The symposium's areas of research and development have helped drive rapid progress in technologies for practical rule and event processing in distributed enterprise, intranets, and open distributed environments. Industry practitioners, rule-system providers, users of rules, technical experts and developers, and researchers who are exploring foundational issues, developing systems and applications, or using rule- based systems are invited to share ideas, results, and experiences. Topics ------ The conference will have 5 special tracks, as well as general sessions. The tracks are: * Complex Event Processing * Existential Rules and Datalog+/- * Legal Rules and Reasoning * Rule Learning * Industry We invite high-quality submissions related (but not limited) to the special tracks and within the general theme of the conference. Track Topics ------------ Complex Event Processing (Main theme: Uncertainty Handling in Complex Event Processing) - Scalable CEP under uncertainty - Visual analytics for CEP systems - Distributed CEP under uncertainty - Real-world applications of CEP - Event forecasting under uncertainty - Privacy issues in CEP - Multi-scale temporal aggregation of events - Benchmarks and testbeds for CEP - Machine learning for event processing and forecasting Existential Rules and Datalog+/ - Decidability paradigms for existential rules - Consistent query answering - Reasoning and querying - Query Rewriting - Nonmonotonic reasoning - Query Optimization - Probabilistic reasoning - Ontology Languages - Data and knowledge integration and exchange - Ontology-based Data Access System - Conceptual modeling - Descriptions and applications - Semi-structured data, graph databases and (Semantic) Web data Legal Rules and Reasoning - Learning from legal texts - Modeling normative rules - Reguratory compliance by rules - Modeling legislation - XML, standards for legal documents - Legal ontology - Semantic Web in Legal Domain - Legal Open Data and Rules - Reasoning about normative rules - Normative rules extraction by natural language processing Rule Learning - Inductive rule learning - Classification rules - Association rules - Learning rules for the semantic web - Preference rules - Rule-based recommender systems - Relational learning - Learning business rules - Descriptive rule learning - Predictive rule learning Industry Track The RuleML 2015 Industry Track targets businesses and the private sector interested in sharing, exploring, and learning about the use of rules and rule technologies for solving real life business problems.
