Call for Papers

The International Conference on Web Reasoning and Rule Systems (RR) is a major forum for discussion and dissemination of new results concerning Web Reasoning and Rule Systems.

Call for Papers (text version)

Travel grants for students participating in RR 2012 are available, including special grants for students at U.S. institutions. See grant information.

Highlights in 2012

In addition to regular papers, RR 2012 solicits the submission of Technical Communications (TCs) that report about some interesting recent work, preliminary result, or inspiring viewpoint. Selected TCs will be invited for a full presentation like regular papers.

RR 2012 is co-located with a number of interesting events:

• 8th Reasoning Web Summer School

  4-8 September 2012

• COMMA 2012: 4th Int. Conf. on Computational Models of Argument

  10-12 September 2012

• DEXA 2012: 23rd Int. Conf. on Database and Expert Systems Applications

  3-7 September 2012

• 2nd Workshop "Datalog 2.0"

  11-13 September

The Reasoning Web Summer School is a great opportunity particularly for young researchers to combine with attendance of the conference. Submissions by summer school participants are particularly encouraged.

• Reasoning, Querying, Searching and Optimization
• Incompleteness, Inconsistency and Uncertainty
• Non-monotonic, Commonsense, and Closed-World Reasoning for the Web
• Dynamic information, Stream Reasoning and Complex Event Processing
• Decision Making, Planning, and Intelligent Agents
• Reasoning, Machine Learning, Knowledge Extraction and IR Technologies
• Large-scale data management and reasoning on the Web of Data
• Data Integration, Dataspaces and Ontology-Based Data Access
• Non-Standard Reasoning
• Algorithms for distributed, parallelized, and scalable reasoning
• System Descriptions and Experimentation
• Applications and Experience Papers

Submissions

The conference proceedings will be published by Springer within the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. Submissions must be prepared in Springer's LaTeX style llncs. There are two submission formats:

• Full papers (up to 15 pages)

  Original research works in the above areas

• Technical Communications (up to 4 pages)

  Results and ideas with interest to the RR audience, including reports about recent own publications, position papers, and presentations of preliminary results

All accepted works will be included in the proceedings, with Technical Communications clearly marked as such. All full papers and selected Technical Communications will be invited to give a talk at the conference. All accepted works will have the opportunity to present a poster.

Submissions can be made in EasyChair: RR 2012 submission
