Overview and Aim

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

This year, the 4th International Web Rule Symposium (RuleML-2010) will be held near Washington, DC, USA.

RuleML-2010 (http://2010.ruleml.org/) is devoted to practical distributed rule technologies and rule-based applications, which need language standards for rules (inter)operating in, e.g., the Semantic Web, Enterprise Systems, Intelligent Multi-Agent Systems, Event-Driven Architectures, and Service-Oriented Applications.

The RuleML-2010 Challenge is one of the highlights at the main conference RuleML-2010 with prestigious prizes.

Submissions of benchmarks/evaluations, demos, case studies / use cases, experience reports, best practice solutions (e.g. design patterns, reference architectures, models), rule-based implementations/ tools/ applications, demonstrations engineering methods, implementations of rule standards (e.g. RuleML, RIF, SBVR, PRR, rule-based Event Processing languages, BPMN+rules, BPEL+rules, ...), rules + industrial standards (e.g. XBRL, MISMO, Accord, ...), and industrial problem statements are particularly encouraged.

This year, the RuleML-2010 Challenge will have a special focus theme:

* Modelling Rules in the temporal and geospatial applications

- temporal modelling and reasoning

- geospatial modelling and reasoning

- cross-linking between temporal and geospatial knowledge

- visualization of rules with graphic models in order to support end-user interaction

Key themes of the RuleML-2010 Challenge include the following:

* Demos related to the RuleML-2010 Track Topics: http://2010.ruleml.org/topics.html

* Extensions and implementations of W3C RIF

* Editing environments and IDEs for Web rules

* Benchmarks and comparison results for rule engines

* Distributed rule bases and rule services

* Reports on industrial experience about rule systems

Prizes will be awarded to the two best applications from the main focus theme and for the all categories. All accepted demos will be presented in a special Challenge Session.
