___________________________________________________________________________________________________________
18th-20th September in Oslo, Norway

(part of DeclarativeAI and co-located with DecisionCAMP and the 19th

Reasoning Web Summer School)

The RuleML+RR 2023 conference is part of the event “Declarative AI: Rules,
Reasoning, Decisions, and Explanations” and is co-located with DecisionCAMP
2023 and the Reasoning Web Summer School. It features the Rule Challenge
and a Doctoral Consortium as associated events.

The 7th International Joint Conference on Rules and Reasoning (RuleML+RR
2023) is the leading international joint conference in the field of
rule-based reasoning. One of the main goals of RuleML+RR is to build
bridges between academia and industry in the area of semantic reasoning.
See https://2023.declarativeai.net/events/ruleml-rr.  We are looking for
high-quality papers related to theoretical advances, novel technologies,
and artificial intelligence applications that involve rule-based
representation and reasoning.

Important dates for the RuleML+RR conference:

RuleML+RR main track: extended to June 17th, 2023

Doctoral consortium: extended to July 14th, 2023

Main conference track

High-quality papers related to theoretical advances, novel technologies,
and artificial intelligence applications concerning explainable algorithmic
decision-making that involve rule-based representation and reasoning are
solicited.

We accept the following submission formats for papers:

* Long papers (up to 15 pages in LNCS style including references)

* Short papers (up to 8 pages in LNCS style including references)

Long papers should present original and significant research and/or
development results. Short papers should concisely describe general results
or specific applications, systems, or position statements. All submissions
must be prepared in Springer's LNCS style (
http://www.springer.com/comp/lncs/authors.html).

Submissions to the RuleML+RR conference

Submitted papers 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. Papers put on arXiv are also
allowed as long as they are not refereed (i.e., formally reviewed by
peers). Papers can be submitted using EasyChair

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=declarativeai2023

Publication

The conference proceedings will be published by Springer in the Lecture
Notes in Computer Science series (LNCS) after the conference. The best
paper will be awarded the RuleML+RR Harold Boley Distinguished Paper award.
A selection of the best accepted papers (2-6) of RuleML+RR 2023 will be
invited for submission to the Journal of Theory and Practice of Logic
Programming (TPLP).

The Doctoral Consortium

The RuleML+RR Doctoral Consortium 2023 is an initiative to attract and
promote student research in Artificial Intelligence, especially research on
rule-based formalisms and reasoning in such formalisms. It offers students
close contact with leading experts in the field, as well as the opportunity
to present and discuss their ideas in a dynamic and friendly setting. The
Doctoral Consortium is organized as part of Declarative AI 2023: Rules,
Reasoning, Decisions, and Explanations (Oslo, 18-20 September 2023).

We invite PhD students at an early or intermediate stage of their PhD
studies, as well as exceptional master’s students who are interested in
pursuing a PhD, to submit papers describing their research on any of the
topics of RuleML+RR 2023. Papers should range between 8 and 15 pages, be
written in English, and follow the CEUR-WS.org format. They are submitted
electronically in PDF together with a maximum 2 page-long CV by 20 May 2023
(title and abstract) and 27 May 2023 (full paper and CV). The best paper
will be awarded the RuleML+RR Best Doctoral Consortium Paper award 2023.
Submissions should be done through the link
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=declarativeai2023. Further details
can be found at

https://2023.declarativeai.net/events/ruleml-rr/ruleml-rr-doctoral-consortium.

Rule Challenge

The 17th International Rule Challenge is one of the highlights of the
RuleML+RR conference and creates friendly competition among innovative
rule-oriented tools, prototypes and applications, aimed at research,
industry, and government.

In the 2023 edition of the challenge, we give the opportunity to not only
present results on self-introduced challenges but also to describe open
challenges to be addressed by the community. Particularly, we welcome two
kinds of submissions:

1.     Challenge proposals: Papers describing open challenges, interesting
problems from academia or industry, and benchmarks which are of interest
for the community and can be solved by rule-based approaches, including
task description, datasets, and evaluation criteria.

2.     Challenge solutions: Papers supplying benchmarking or comparison
results for rule engines, rule-based machine learning techniques,
illustrating rule- and model-driven engineering, reporting on case studies
and industrial experiences, and realizing mobile deployment of rule-based
reasoning.

Specific challenges for this year are listed below from contributors:

Rule Engines Benchmarking, submitted by Kevin Angele, Semantic Technology
Institute, University of Innsbruck, Austria.

The best challenge paper will be awarded the RuleML+RR Rule Challenge award
2023. The assessment criteria include originality, creativity together with
feasibility. Submissions should be done through the link
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=declarativeai2023. More
