RuleML 2009


Overview and Aim

The International Symposium on Rules, Applications and Interoperability has evolved from an annual series of international workshops since 2002, international conferences in 2005 and 2006, and international symposia since 2007. This year, the 3rd International Symposium on Rules, Applications and Interoperability (RuleML-2009) takes place in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, collocated with the 12th Business Rules Forum, the world's largest Business Rules event. RuleML-2009 is devoted to practical distributed rule technologies

and rule-based applications which need language standards for rules (inter)operating in, e.g., the Semantic Web, Intelligent Multi-Agent Systems, Event-Driven Architectures, and Service-Oriented Applications.


The main goal of RuleML-2009 is to stimulate the cooperation and interoperability between business and research, by bringing together rule system providers, participants in rule standardization efforts, open source communities, practitioners, and researchers. The concept of the symposium has also advanced continuously in the face of extremely rapid progress in practical rule and event processing technologies. As a result, RuleML-2009 will feature hands-on demonstrations and challenges alongside a wide range of thematic tracks, thus and will be an exciting venue to exchange new ideas and experiences on all issues related to the engineering, management, integration,interoperation and interchange of rules in open distributed environments such as the Web.



Conference Theme

This year, we particularly welcome submissions that address applications of Web rule technologies for business and information systems. We invite you to share your ideas, results, and experiences: as an industry practitioner, rule system provider, technical expert and developer, rule user or researcher, exploring foundations, developing systems and applications, or using rule-based systems. We invite high-quality submissions related to (but not limited to) one or more of the following topics:


RuleML-2009 Challenge

The RuleML-2009 Challenge is one of the highlights of RuleML-2009. Rules are used in interesting and practically relevant ways to, e.g., derive useful information, transform knowledge, provide decision support and provide automated rule-based monitoring, enforcement, validation or management of the behavioural logic of the application. The Challenge offers participants the chance to demonstrate their commercial and open source tools, use cases, and applications. The recommended categories for the Challenge submissions are:

  •  derivation rules and constructive views over data,

  •  production rules or (complex) event processing reactive rules,

  •  benchmark for performance evaluation of rule engines, and

  •  use cases / case studies (possibly using rule standards).


We strongly suggest participants declare their submissions related to at least one of the above categories.


Prizes will be awarded to the two best applications from each category. All accepted demos will be presented in a special Challenge Session. A submission to the RuleML Challenge has to meet the requirement that declarative rules explicitly play a central role in the application. Basically this means that: Rules are explicitly represented in a declarative format and they are decoupled from the application (rather than being compiled or hard-coded into the application logic). The demo should preferably (but not necessarily) be embedded into a web-based or distributed environment so that there will be a need for features related to the RuleML conference topics, as listed in the call for papers. For more details please consult the RuleML-2009 Challenge website: http://ruleml-challenge.cs.nccu.edu.tw


Submission

Authors are invited to submit original contributions of practical relevance and technical rigor in the field, experience reports and show case/use case demonstrations of effective, practical, deployable rule-based technologies or applications in distributed environments. Papers must be in English and may be submitted at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ruleml2009


as:

 

  • Full Papers (15 pages in the proceedings)

  • Short Papers (8 pages in the proceedings)

  • RuleML-2009 Challenge Demo Paper + Show Cases (3-5 pages in the proceedings)


Please upload all submissions as PDF files in LNCS format (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html). To ensure high quality, submitted papers will be carefully peer-reviewed by 3 PC members based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of exposition. Authors are requested to upload the abstracts of their papers before June 9, 2008 and to upload their complete papers by June 16, 2008. The selected papers will be published in book form in the Springer Lecture Notes in ComputerScience (LNCS) series along with a CD with demo software and documents. The best paper from all submissions will be determined by the PC and a Best Paper Award will be handed over at the Symposium by a Sponsor. All submissions must be done electronically. A selection of revised papers will be resubmitted to a special issue of a journal.

 

Submissions to the RuleML Challenge 2009 consist of a demo paper of 3-5 pages, describing the demo show case, and a link to more information about the demo/show case, e.g. a project site, an online demonstration, a presentation about the demonstration, or a download site for the demonstration. In case of product demos, the link can be password-protected: please submit a password for anonymous login from any Web browser, giving us the permission to pass the password on to 3 PC members. The submissions should satisfy the minimal requirements defined in the topics of interest and preferably exhibit some of the additional desiderata. The more desiderata are met by an application, the higher the score will be. The demos will be evaluated by the RuleML-2009 Program Committee and prizes will be awarded to the two best applications, sponsored by the RuleML Inc. non-profit organization.
