The RR 2015 Doctoral Consortium (
http://www.csw.inf.fu-berlin.de/rr2015/dc.html)
is an initiative of the 9th International Conference On Web
Reasoning And Rule Systems (RR 2015). RR is a major forum for
discussion and dissemination of new results concerning Web
Reasoning and Rule Systems.
The RR 2015 DC will provide doctoral students in Web Reasoning and
related areas with a unique opportunity to present and discuss
their research directions, be involved into state-of-the-art
research discussion, and supported in establishing fruitful
research collaborations.
To this end, the conference will host two main DC events:
- a mentoring lunch, where students will have the opportunity to
get in touch with prominent researchers and pioneers in the field
of Web Reasoning and Rules, and of related areas;
- a poster session where students will have the possibility to
present their work, share their ideas, and receive constructive
feedback on their research activity.
To make the DC even more interesting and outward-looking, these
two events will be jointly organized with the Doctoral Consortium
of the 9th International Web Rule Symposium (RuleML 2015).
Last but not least, interested students may consider to attend
also the 11th Reasoning Web Summer School (RW 2015), which will be
held from July 21 to August 4 2015 in Berlin, co-located with RR
2015.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
=====================
We encourage submissions from PhD students whose research activity
is related to web reasoning and rule systems. Students are invited
to submit an original description of their work, covering the
following aspects:
- Introduction and motivation: a clear formulation of the research
questions you are trying to solve.
- Background: positioning of such questions in the field of web
reasoning and rule systems, and description of the relevant state
of the art.
- Research plan and achievements: description of the proposed
solution to the aforementioned research questions, and of the
corresponding research plan, stressing in particular relevance and
novelty.
Each submission consists of:
- A paper conforming to the submission information above, limited
to 8 pages in English,and formatted using the LNCS style (
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html).
- A short reference letter from the PhD supervisor, indicating the
current status of the student within the PhD research activity,
the expected date of thesis submissions, the publications
co-authored by the student within the PhD, and why it is important
for him/her to attend the RR 2015 DC.
Please create a single PDF containing the submission and the
reference letter.
Submissions are managed through Easychair:
