CALL FOR PAPERS
RuleML2011@BRF
5th International Symposium on
Linked Rules: Research-Based, Industry-Focused
Westin Diplomat, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, 3-5 November 2011

About RuleML 2011@BRF
---------------------
In 2011, two instalments of the RuleML Symposium will take place. The first
one will be held in conjunction with IJCAI 2011 in Barcelona, Spain, in
July.
The second one will be co-located with the Business Rule Forum to be held in
early November in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, USA. The second instalment will
include the RuleML Challenge Award which, this year, is dedicated to
Rules and Ontologies.
Objectives
----------
RuleML-2011@BRF is a research-based, industry-focused symposium: its
main goal is to build a bridge between academia and industry in the field
of rules and semantic technology, and so to stimulate the cooperation and
interoperability between business and research, by bringing together
rule system providers,participants in rule standardization efforts, open
source communities, practitioners, and researchers. The concept of the
symposium has also advanced continuously in the face of extremely rapid
progress in practical rule and event processing technologies.
As a result, RuleML-2011 will feature hands-on demonstrations and
challenges alongside a wide range of thematic tracks.
It will thus be an exciting venue to exchange new ideas and share
experiences on all issues related to the engineering, management, integration,
interoperation, and interchange of rules in distributed enterprise intranets
and open environments alike.
Topics
---------------------------------------
As in the previous years, the Symposium will be organized in tracks;
specifically, the RuleML-2011@BRF focus will be on the following areas:
*** Rules, Semantic Technology, and Cross-Industry Standards
*** Rules and Automated Reasoning
*** Rule-Based Distributed/Multi-Agent Systems
*** Rule Transformation and Extraction
*** Vocabularies, Ontologies, and Business rules
*** NIEM and Rules
*** Cloud Computing and Rules
*** Fuzzy Rules and Uncertainty
*** Rules and Norms
*** Rule-Based Policies, Reputation and Trust
*** Rule-based Event Processing and Reaction Rules
*** General Topics
Submissions on general rule topics are welcome, such as:
- Progress in rule language specification (in XML Schema, Relax NG, etc.)
- Implemented tools for rule bases (e.g. XML and RDF rule validators)
- Rule interchange and reasoning
- Execution models, rule engines, and development environments
- Graphical processing, modeling and rendering of rules
- Rules and NLP
- Rule-based applications
- Usability and effectiveness of rule-based systems and languages
Case studies, experience reports, and industrial problem statements are
particularly encouraged.
RuleML-2011 Challenge
---------------------
The RuleML-2011 Challenge is one of the highlights of RuleML-2011.
Prizes will be awarded to the two best applications, one for the
focus theme and one for the other categories.
This year, the Challenge will be focused on the theme:
***Combining Rules, Objects, and Ontologies: Implementations and
Applications***
The call for demos is available on:
http://2011.ruleml.org/america/challenge
Submission Guidelines
---------------------
Authors are invited to submit original contributions of practical relevance
and technical rigor in the field, experience reports and show case/use case
demonstrations of effective, practical, deployable rule-based technologies
or applications in distributed environments. Papers must be in English and
may be submitted at
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ruleml2011brf
Please upload all submissions as PDF files in LNCS format
