<p>The annual International Web Rule Symposium (RuleML) is
the leading international event in the field of┬аrules and their
applications. RuleML 2016, the tenth event in this series, will be held at
Stony Brook University, USA. RuleML is the leading conference to build
bridges between academia and industry in the field of rules and its
applications, especially as part of the semantic technology stack. It is
devoted to rule-based programming and rule-based systems including
production rules systems, logic programming rule engines, and business
rules engines/business rules management systems; Semantic Web rule
languages and rule standards (e.g., RuleML, SWRL, RIF, PRR, SBVR, DMN, CL,
Prolog); rule-based event processing languages (EPLs) and technologies; and
research on inference rules, transformation rules, decision rules,
production rules, and ECA rules.</p>
<p>RuleML 2016 will host multiple special tracks, as well
as hosting the┬а┬а<a href="http://2016.ruleml.org/challenge";>10th
International Rule Challenge</a>, and the┬а<a href="
http://2016.ruleml.org/doctoral-consortium";>6th RuleML Doctoral
Consortium</a>. Special topic tracks: <a href="

<p><strong>Objectives</strong></p>
<p>RuleML 2016 will bring together delegates from industry,
government and academia, all interested in the theory and practice of
rules, applied to areas as diverse as business, healthcare, engineering and
research. 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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
