<br>
== DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM ==<br>
<br>
RR 2015 also hosts a doctoral consortium, which will provide PhD<br>
students with an opportunity to present and discuss their research<br>
directions, to be involved in discussions on the state-of-the-art<br>
research, and to establish fruitful collaborations. In particular,
the<br>
doctoral consortium will include a mentoring lunch and a poster
session,<br>
organized jointly with the 9th International Web Rule Symposium
(RuleML<br>
2015). Further details on the RR doctoral consortium will be<br>
communicated by means of a separate Call for Papers, as well as on
the<br>
RR 2015 website.<br>
<br>
== TOPICS AND SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS ==<br>
<br>
The scale and the heterogenous nature of web data poses many
challenges,<br>
and turns basic tasks such as query answering and data
transformations<br>
into complex reasoning problems. Rule-based systems have found many<br>
applications in this area. The RR conference welcomes original
research<br>
from all areas of Web Reasoning and Rule Systems. Topics of
particular<br>
interest are:<br>
<br>
- Rule-based languages for intelligent information access and for
the<br>
semantic web<br>
- Ontology-based data access<br>
- Data management, and data interoperability for web data<br>
- Distributed agent-based systems for the web<br>
- Scalability and expressive power of logics for the semantic web<br>
- Reasoning with incomplete, inconsistenct and uncertain data<br>
- Non-monotonic, commonsense, and closed-world reasoning for web
data<br>
- Constraint programming, inductive logic programming for web data<br>
- Streaming data and complex event processing<br>
- Rule-based approaches to machine learning, knowledge extraction
and<br>
information retrieval<br>
- Rule-based approaches to natural language processing<br>
- System descriptions, applications and experiences<br>
<br>
There are two submission formats:<br>
<br>
- Full papers (up to 15 pages in LNCS style)<br>
- Technical Communications (up to 6 pages in LNCS style)<br>
<br>
Submitted full papers should present original and significant
research<br>
results. They must not substantially overlap with papers that have
been<br>
published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a<br>
conference/workshop with formal proceedings. Double submission to a<br>
workshop with informal proceedings is allowed, like for instance the
DL<br>
2014 workshop. <br>
<br>
Technical communications are intended for promising but<br>
possibly preliminary work, position papers, system descriptions, and<br>
applications descriptions (which may be accompanied by a demo).<br>
<br>
The conference proceedings will be published by Springer in the
Lecture<br>
Notes in Computer Science series (LNCS), and all submissions must be<br>
prepared in Springer's LaTeX style llncs<br>
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.springer.com/comp/lncs/Authors.html">http://www.springer.com/comp/lncs/Authors.html</a>).<br>
<br>
Submissions are now open via EasyChair:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=rr2015">https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=rr2015</a><br>
<br>
== IMPORTANT DATES ==<br>
<br>
- NEW Title and Abstract submission: March 11, 2015<br>
- NEW Full papers submission: March 18, 2015<br>
- Notification of acceptance: April 15, 2015<br>
- Camera-ready submission: May 15, 2015<br>
<br>
For each of these deadlines, a cut-off point of 23:59 AOE (anywhere
on<br>
earth) applies.<br>
<br>
== BEST PAPER AND BEST STUDENT PAPER AWARDS ==<br>
<br>
Awards for Best Paper and Best Student Paper will be presented to
the<br>
corresponding author(s) at the conference. The best student paper
will<br>
be selected among the ones mainly only by students (i.e., authors a
PhD<br>
as of the paper submission deadline). To qualify for the Best
Student<br>
Paper award, the authors must indicate their eligibility upon
submission<br>
at easychair. The program committee reserves the right to not give
out a<br>
Best Student Paper award, or to split the award among multiple
submissions.<br>
