RuleML+RR 2018 SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS
RuleML+RR 2018: International Joint Conference
on Rules and Reasoning
==================================================================
== SUMMARY ==
High-quality papers related to theoretical
advances, novel technologies, and innovative applications
concerning knowledge representation and reasoning with rules
are solicited.
Important dates:
- Abstract: 20 Apr 2018
- Full paper: 27 Apr 2018
== THE CONFERENCE ==
The International Joint Conference on Rules
and Reasoning (RuleML+RR) is the leading international joint
conference in the field of rule-based reasoning. Stemming from
the synergy between the well-known RuleML and RR events, one
of the main goals of this conference is to build bridges
between academia and industry.
RuleML+RR 2018 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
and other application areas. It will provide a forum for
stimulating cooperation and cross-fertilization between the
many different communities focused on the research,
development and applications of rule-based systems.
RuleML+RR 2018 will take place in Luxembourg
on September 18th-21th 2018
and will be part of the Luxembourg Logic for
AI Summit (LuxLogAI) "Methods and Tools for Responsible AI",
bringing together RuleML+RR 2018, DecisionCAMP 2018, the
Reasoning Web Summer School (RW 2018), and
the Global Conference on Artificial
Intelligence (GCAI 2018).
== TOPICS ==
RuleML+RR welcomes original research from all
areas of Rules and Reasoning.
Topics of particular interest include:
* Rule-based languages for intelligent
information access and for the semantic web
* Vocabularies, ontologies, and business rules
* Ontology-based data access
* Data management, and data interoperability
for web data
* Distributed agent-based systems for the web
* 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
* Production & business rules systems
* Streaming data and complex event processing
* Rules for machine learning, knowledge
extraction and information retrieval
* Rule-based approaches to natural language
processing
* Rule discovery, extraction and
transformation
* Rules and ontology learning
* Deep Learning for rules and ontologies
* Neural Networks and logic rules
* Neural Networks and ontologies
* Rule-based approaches to agents
* Higher-order and modal rules
* Rules for knowledge graphs
* Pragmatic web reasoning and distributed rule
inference / rule execution
* Big data reasoning with rules
* Rule markup languages and rule interchange
formats
* Rule-based policies, reputation, and trust
* 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 rule technologies in
healthcare and life sciences
* Applications of rule technologies in law,
regulation and finance
* Industrial applications of rules
* Rules and social media
* Rules of ethics, laws, policies, and
regulations
Particularly encouraged are submissions that
combine one or several of the above topics with the overall
focus theme of the LuxLogAI Summit: Methods and Tools for
Responsible AI
== SUBMISSIONS ==
We accept the following submission formats for
papers:
* Full papers (up to 15 pages in LNCS style)
* Technical Communications (up to 8 pages in
LNCS style)
Submitted full papers should present original
and significant research results. They 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.
Technical communications are intended for
promising but possibly preliminary work, position papers,
system descriptions, and applications descriptions (which may
be accompanied by a demo).
The RuleML+RR 2018 best papers will be invited
for rapid publication in the Journal of Theory and Practice of
Logic Programming (TPLP).
In addition to regular submissions, RuleML+RR
2018 will host an Industry Track, a Doctoral Consortium and
the 12th International Rule Challenge.
== PUBLICATION ==
The conference proceedings will be published
by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series
(LNCS).
== IMPORTANT DATES ==
Title and Abstract submission: 20 Apr 2018
Full papers submission: 27 Apr 2018
Notification of acceptance: 1 June 2018
Camera-ready submission: 15 June 2018
Conference: 18-21 Sept 2018
For each of these deadlines, a cut-off point
of 23:59 AOE (anywhere on earth) applies.
