The workshop aims to be a common space where those with experience or interest in rule modeling, rule languages and rule engines meet researchers with expertise in other areas such as: Artificial Intelligence, Business Process Modeling, Cloud Computing, Intelligent Agents, Model-Driven Architecture, and Semantic Web. Attending this workshop will give researchers the possibility to identify new trends and challenges in rule-based applications, and it will provide a forum for potential users of innovative AI techniques.
