[PragmaticWeb] Deadline Extension - 9th International Web Rule Symposium (RuleML 2015)

Wed Mar 4 20:03:54 CET 2015

Dear Colleagues,

We have received several deadline extension requests from the rules
community for the RuleML 2015 Symposium (http://2015.ruleml.org).

We have decided to extend the full paper submission deadline by two weeks to
18th of March 2015.

So there is some more time to finish your papers without undue haste. You
might even consider a new paper entry if some related research became ready
just now.

Please note that you can additionally submit your rule
implementations/demos, Phd papers and rulebases & ontologies to our RuleML
2015 sub-events which have later deadlines
(http://2015.ruleml.org/important-dates.html):

* 9th International Web Rule Symposium (http://2015.ruleml.org) - deadline
March 18th
* Industry Track (http://2015.ruleml.org/industrytrack.html) - deadline
April 30th
* 9th International Rules Challenge (http://2015.ruleml.org/challenge.html)
- deadline May 23rd
* RuleML Rulebase Competition (http://2015.ruleml.org/challenge.html) -
deadline May 23rd
* 5th RuleML Doctoral Consortium
(http://2015.ruleml.org/DoctoralConsortium.html) - deadline May 10th
* Challenge on Recommender Systems for the Web of Data

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 2-5 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.
