High-quality papers related to theoretical
advances, novel technologies,
and artificial intelligence applications
concerning explainable algorithmic
decision-making that involve rule-based
representation and reasoning are
solicited.
Theme for 2020 edition: Explainable algorithmic
decision-making
Important paper submission dates:
- Abstract: 6 March 2020
- Full paper: 13 March 2020
== THE CONFERENCE ==
The 4th International Joint Conference on Rules
and Reasoning (RuleML+RR 2020)
is the leading international joint conference in
the field of rule-based reasoning.
Stemming from the synergy with the DecisionCAMP
summit, which brings together
leading decision management authorities, vendors,
and practitioners, one of the
main goals of RuleML+RR is to build bridges
between academia and industry in the
area of rule-based reasoning and applications.
RuleML+RR 2020 is part of the event
"Declarative AI: Rules, Reasoning, Decisions, and
Explanations" to be held in the
beautiful city of Oslo, Norway, between 29 June -
1 July 2020.
RuleML+RR 2020 aims to bring together rigorous
researchers and inventive practitioners,
interested in the foundations and applications of
rules and reasoning in academia,
industry, engineering, business, finance,
healthcare, environment, and other
application areas. It provides a forum for
stimulating cooperation and
cross-fertilization between the many different
communities focused on the research,
development, and applications of rule-based
systems.
== TOPICS ==
RuleML+RR welcomes research from all areas of
Rules and Reasoning, including topics
from our 2020 theme: explainable algorithmic
decision-making. The topics of the
conference include:
* Machine learning approaches involving rules
(e.g, extracting rules from Deep
Neural Networks or rule-based classification)
* Rules for knowledge graphs and ontology learning
* Rule-based approaches to natural language
processing
* Explainable AI approaches based on rules,
psychological aspects of rule learning
* Rules of ethics, biases, laws, policies, and
regulations
* Production & business rule systems
* Communicating rule models with Decision Model
and Notation (DMN)
* Applications of rule technologies with
explainable AI (xAI) elements
* Foundations of declarative AI architectures and
languages
* Rule-based approaches for intelligent systems
and intelligent information access
* Vocabularies, ontologies, and business rules
* Ontology-based data access
* Rule-based data integration
* Data management and data interoperability for
web data
* Distributed agent-based systems for the web
* Rule-based approaches to agents
* Scalability and expressive power of logics for
the semantic web
* Reasoning with incomplete, inconsistent and
uncertain data
* Non-monotonic, common-sense, and closed-world
reasoning for web data
* Non-classical logics and the Web
* Constraint programming
* Logic programming
* Streaming data and complex event processing
* Higher-order and modal rules
* Web reasoning and distributed rule inference and
execution
* Rule markup languages and rule interchange
formats
* Rule-based policies, reputation, and trust
* Rules, blockchain, and smart contracts
* Scalability and expressive power of logics for
rules
* System descriptions, applications and
experiences
* Rules and human language technology
* Rules in online market research and online
marketing
* Applications of ontologies and rules in
environmental protection
* Applications in climate change monitoring,
mitigation & adaptation
* Applications in healthcare and life sciences
* Applications in peace and conflict studies
* Applications in equity and social welfare
* Applications in law, regulation, and finance
* Applications in Digital Twins
* Industrial applications of rules
== SUBMISSIONS ==
We accept the following submission formats for
papers:
* Long papers (up to 15 pages in LNCS style)
* Short papers (up to 8 pages in LNCS style)
Long papers should present original and
significant research
and/or development results.
Short papers should concisely describe general
results or specific
applications, systems, or position statements.
Submitted papers must not substantially overlap
with papers that have been
published or that are simultaneously submitted to
a journal or a
conference/workshop with formal proceedings.
Double submission to a
workshop with informal proceedings is allowed.
Submissions: via EasyChair
A selection of the best accepted papers of
RuleML+RR 2020 (2-6 papers) will
be invited for submission to the Journal of Theory
and Practice of Logic
Programming (TPLP) published by Cambridge
University Press.
In addition to regular submissions, RuleML+RR 2020
will include the 14th
International Rule Challenge, a Doctoral
Consortium, an Industry Track, and
a Posters and Interactions session.
RuleML+RR 2020 is co-located with DecisionCAMP
2020 and the 16th Reasoning
Web Summer School (RW 2020), as part of the
Declarative AI 2020 event.
== PUBLICATION ==
The conference proceedings will be published by
Springer in the Lecture
Notes in Computer Science series (LNCS).
All submissions must be prepared in Springer's
LaTeX style LNCS
