=========================================================================

The International Conference on Web Reasoning and Rule Systems (RR) aims
to be the major forum for discussion and dissemination of new results on
all topics concerning Web Reasoning and Rule Systems.

RR 2007 brings together three previously separate events: the
International Workshop on Principles and Practice of Semantic Web
Reasoning (PPSWR), the International Conference on Rules and Rule Markup
Languages for the Semantic Web (RuleML), and the International Workshop
on Reasoning on the Web (RoW).

This joint conference is devoted to all aspects of Semantic Web
Reasoning, with an emphasis on rule-based approaches and languages.
The reasoning landscape features theoretical areas such as knowledge
representation (KR) and algorithms; design aspects of rule markup;
design of ontology languages; engineering of engines, translators, and
other tools; standardization efforts, such as the Rules Interchange
Format activity at W3C; and applications. Of particular interest is also
the use of rules to facilitate ontology modeling, and the relationships
and possible interactions between rules and ontology languages like RDF
and OWL, as well as ontology reasoning related to RDF and OWL.

The full program of RR 2007 is now available on the conference website
(http://www.wrrs.info).  The program features two keynote presentations
by Nicola Leone (University of Calabria, Italy) and Massimo Paolucci
(NTT DoCoMo, Germany), and 29 papers presentations.

The conference is supported by REWERSE and RuleML, and conveniently
co-located with ESWC 2007 (The European Semantic Web Conference) and
OWLED 2007 (The International Workshop on OWL: Experiences and
Directions).

Registration is now open: see the conference web site for details.

We look forward to seeing you at RR 2007 in Innsbruck!
