The RR 2015 Doctoral Consortium
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.csw.inf.fu-berlin.de/rr2015/dc.html">http://www.csw.inf.fu-berlin.de/rr2015/dc.html</a>) is an initiative of
the 9th International Conference On Web Reasoning And Rule Systems
(RR 2015).
<br>
RR is a major forum for discussion and dissemination of new results
concerning Web Reasoning and Rule Systems.
<br>
<br>
The RR 2015 DC will provide doctoral students in Web Reasoning and
related areas with a unique opportunity to present and discuss their
research directions, be involved into state-of-the-art research
discussion, and supported in establishing fruitful research
collaborations.
<br>
<br>
To this end, the conference will host two main DC events:
<br>
<br>
- a mentoring lunch, where students will have the opportunity to get
in touch with prominent researchers and pioneers in the field of Web
Reasoning and Rules, and of related areas;
<br>
- a poster session where students will have the possibility to
present their work, share their ideas, and receive constructive
feedback on their research activity.
<br>
<br>
To make the DC even more interesting and outward-looking, these two
events will be jointly organized with the Doctoral Consortium of the
9th International Web Rule Symposium (RuleML 2015).
<br>
<br>
Last but not least, interested students may consider to attend also
the 11th Reasoning Web Summer School (RW 2015), which will be held
from July 21 to August 4 2015 in Berlin, co-located with RR 2015.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
<br>
=====================
<br>
<br>
We encourage submissions from PhD students whose research activity
is related to web reasoning and rule systems. Students are invited
to submit an original description of their work, covering the
following aspects:
<br>
- Introduction and motivation: a clear formulation of the research
questions you are trying to solve.
<br>
- Background: positioning of such questions in the field of web
reasoning and rule systems, and description of the relevant state of
the art.
<br>
- Research plan and achievements: description of the proposed
solution to the aforementioned research questions, and of the
corresponding research plan, stressing in particular relevance and
novelty.
<br>
<br>
Each submission consists of:
<br>
- A paper conforming to the submission information above, limited to
8 pages in English,and formatted using the LNCS style
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html">http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html</a>).
<br>
- A short reference letter from the PhD supervisor, indicating the
current status of the student within the PhD research activity, the
expected date of thesis submissions, the publications co-authored by
the student within the PhD, and why it is important for him/her to
attend the RR 2015 DC. <br>
<br>
If the PhD student needs some form of travel support, please specify
concisely and clearly the requested form of support inside the
supervisor letter.<br>
<br>
Please create a single PDF containing the submission and the
reference letter.
<br>
<br>
Submissions are managed through Easychair:
