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.
