Overview and Aim
==============================
The RuleML2011@BRF Challenge is one of the highlights at RuleML2011@BRF
Conference.The RuleML2011@BRF Challenge is dedicated to practical experiences
with rule-oriented applications. In particular, submissions of benchmarks
/ evaluations, demos, case studies / use cases, experience reports, best
practice solutions (e.g. design patterns, reference architectures, models),
rule-based implementations / tools / applications, demonstrations of
engineering methods, implementations of rule standards (e.g. RuleML, RIF,
SBVR, PRR, rule-based Event Processing languages, BPMN+rules, BPEL+rules,
...), rules + industrial standards (e.g. XBRL, MISMO, Accord, ...), and
industrial problem statements are particularly encouraged.
Key themes of the RuleML2011@BRF Challenge include the following:
* Demos related to the RuleML2011@BRF Track Topics
* Extensions and implementations of rule standards: W3C RIF, RuleML,
SBVR, ...
* Editing environments and IDEs for Web rules
* Benchmarks and comparison results for rule engines
* Distributed rule bases and rule services
* Reports on industrial experience about rule systems
A dedicated track of RuleML2011@BRF Challenge will be focused on the theme:
**Combining Rules, Objects, and Ontologies: Implementations and Applications**
- Loose/tight integrations of rules and knowledge bases
- Knowledge Modelling and Reasoning
- Real cases and practical experiences
Ideally, demos submitted to the Challenge track should tackle knowledge-rich
domain problems. The proposed solution should address such problem using a
combination of rule-based modelling and semantic knowledge-based modelling.
Solutions ranging from loosely coupled hybrid systems (i.e. where different
frameworks are put together), to unified homogeneous architectures (i.e. where
a unified model / semantics, within a single framework, is proposed) will be
of great interest for the special track.
Prizes will be awarded to the two best applications from the main focus theme
and for the all categories. All accepted demos will be presented in a special
Challenge Session.
Submission
==============================
The submission is composed of two parts:
- open-source or commercial demo
- demo papers describing research, implementation, and technical details of
your submission.
Submissions to the Rules Challenge 2011 consist of a demo paper of 4-8 pages,
describing the demo show case, and a link to the demo/show case, e.g. a
project site, an online demonstration, a presentation about the demonstration,
or a download site for the demonstration.
Demo and papers submission website:
https://www.easychair.org/
Please upload all demo papers submissions as PDF files in LNCS format
(http://www.springer.de/comp/
To ensure high quality, submitted papers will be carefully peer-reviewed
according to the evaluation criteria indicated below.
To better disseminate your work, please also udpate your demo in the systems
submission website with a brief abstract presentation:

Challenge Evaluation Criteria
==============================
Submissions to the RuleML2011@BRF Challenge general Track will be evaluated
according to the following criteria:
- clear exposition of the objectives, outcomes, benefits for going beyond the
state of the art in the application domain (25%)
- demos should demonstrate a good level of effectiveness to manage complex
rules according to statistical/analytical/
- demos have to demonstrate the results with a concrete example balancing
conciseness and completeness (25%)
- demos should preferably (but not necessarily) be embedded into a web-based
or distributed environment (15%)
- demos should pay attention to end-user interactions, providing an adequate
and usable interface that favors a concrete usage of the application (10%).
Submissions focused on this year's special theme (Knowledge-Based Applications
combining Rules and Ontologies) should show the potential and benefits of
combining rule-based reasoning and taxonomic/frame/description-
in a realistic application. Demos submitted to the Special Theme will be
evaluated according to the following criteria:
- papers should clearly expose the objectives, outcomes, benefits for going
beyond the state of the art in the application domain (20%)
- demos should demonstrate a good level of integration or interaction between
rules and ontologies (40%)
- demos should demonstrate their results with a simple but meaningful case
study, balancing conciseness and completeness (20%)
- demos should preferably be deployed in a web-based or distributed
environment where multiple nodes exchange information (10%)
- demos should pay attention to end-user interactions, providing an adequate
and usable interface that favors a concrete usage of the application (10%).
Proceedings
==============================
Authors are invited to submit original contributions of practical relevance
and technical rigor in the field, benchmarks, evaluations, experience reports
and show/use case demonstrations of effective, practical, deployable
rule-based technologies or applications in web-distributed environments.
Papers must be in English.
Accepted papers will be published as CEUR Workshop Proceedings.
Exhibition Room
==============================
The RuleML2011@BRF Chairs are currently evaluating the possibility to have an
exhibition space where to present the demo live to the participants throughout
the Symposium.
More information will be released with the notification of acceptance of the
demo papers and demo systems.
Important Dates
==============================
Submission deadline for demo papers and demo systems: Sept. 2nd, 2011
Notification of accepted demo papers and demo systems: Sept. 23rd, 2011
Camera ready papers: Sept. 30th, 2011
