Subject: 3rd International Symposium on Rules, Applications and Interoperability (RuleML-2009)
Dear Colleagues, I would like to inform
you about RuleML-2009 (http://2009.ruleml.org),
the premier event for rules technology and rule standards, which will be in Declarative rules,
which are already successfully employed e.g. in e-Commerce business rules, are
a promising technology to develop smart applications with explicit agile
decision logic used for the management and running of smart grids. Thanks, Adrian --------------------------------------- Prof. Dr. Adrian Paschke Freie Universitaet Berlin AG Corporate Semantic Web

and Aim ============================================================================ The
International Symposium on Rules, Applications and Interoperability has evolved
from an annual series of international workshops since 2002, international
conferences in 2005 and 2006, and international symposia since 2007.
This year, the 3rd International Symposium on Rules, Applications and Interoperability
(RuleML-2009) takes place in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, collocated
with the 12th Business Rules Forum, the world's largest Business Rules
event. RuleML-2009 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, Multi-Agent Systems, Event-Driven
Architectures, and Service-Oriented Applications. The
main goal of RuleML-2009 is to stimulate the cooperation and interoperability
between business and research, by bringing together rule system
providers, participants in rule standardization efforts, open source communities,
practitioners, and researchers. The concept of the symposium has
also advanced continuously in the face of extremely rapid progress in practical
rule and event processing technologies. As a result, RuleML-2009 will
feature hands-on demonstrations and challenges alongside a wide range of
thematic tracks, and thus will be an exciting venue to exchange new ideas
and experiences on all issues related to the engineering, management, integration,
interoperation and interchange of rules in open distributed environments
such as the Web. Conference
Theme ============================================================================ This
year, we particularly welcome submissions that address applications of Web
rule technologies for business and information systems. We invite you to share
your ideas, results, and experiences: as an industry practitioner, rule
system provider, technical expert and developer, rule user or researcher,
exploring foundations, developing systems and applications, or
using rule-based systems. We invite high-quality submissions related to (but
not limited to) one or more of the following topics: Track

risk management (ERM), operational risk, etc
- Rules and Corporate Actions
General
Rule Topics
- Rules and ontologies
- Execution models, rule engines, and environments
- From rules to FOL to modal logics
- Rule-based reasoning with non-monotonic negation, modalities, deontic,
temporal, priority, scoped or other rule qualification
- Rule-based default reasoning with default logic, defeasible logic, and
answer set programming

encouraged. RuleML-2009
Challenge ============================================================================ The RuleML-2009 Demo Challenge is one of the
highlights of RuleML-2009. We invite
submissions of demos where rules are used in interesting and practically
relevant ways to, e.g., derive useful information, transform knowledge,
provide decision support and provide automated rule-based monitoring,
enforcement, validation or management of the behavioural logic of
the application. The Challenge offers participants the chance to demonstrate
their commercial and open source tools, use cases, and applications.
Submissions are solicited in these categories:
- Benchmarks (test cases, suites) with evaluations of (their own, other)
rule engines and/or rule translators, possibly drawing on our growing
pool at http://ruleml-challenge.cs.nccu.edu.tw
- Case studies (use cases) implemented via engines/translators employing
rule standards such as RIF, RuleML, CLIPS, Common Logic, SBVR, and ISO
Prolog. We
welcome all demos about tools and applications using rules such as:
- Derivation rules, including query and integrity rules
- ECA rules, including production rules, reaction rules, and rule-based CEP languages Authors
of demo are also invited to submit a Challenge demo paper for publications
in the conference proceedings, see the submission section below for
submission details. Prizes
will be awarded to the two best applications from each category. All accepted
demos will be presented in a special Challenge Session. A submission
to the RuleML Challenge has to meet the requirement that declarative
rules explicitly play a central role in the application. Basically
this means that: Rules
are explicitly represented in a declarative format and they are decoupled
from the application (rather than being compiled or hard-coded into
the application logic). The demo should preferably (but not necessarily) be
embedded into a web-based or distributed environment so that there will be
a need for features related to the RuleML conference topics, as listed in
the call for papers. For more details and the demo site web link please consult
the RuleML-2009 Challenge website:
http://ruleml-challenge.cs.nccu.edu.tw Student
Grant Awards ============================================================================ Two
travel grants are available to students who are authors or co-authors of papers
or demos accepted for presentation at the symposium. The grants include
free registration and cover travel expenses up to 1000 dollars. Conference
Language ============================================================================ The
official language of the conference will be English. Submission ============================================================================ Authors
are invited to submit original contributions of practical relevance and
technical rigor in the field, experience reports and show case/use case demonstrations
of effective, practical, deployable rule-based technologies or
applications in distributed environments. Papers must be in English and may
be submitted at
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ruleml2009 as: Full
Papers (15 pages in the proceedings) Short
Papers (8 pages in the proceedings) RuleML-2009
Challenge Demo Paper + Show Cases (3-5 pages in the proceedings) Please
upload all submissions as PDF files in LNCS format (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html).
To ensure high quality, submitted
papers will be carefully peer-reviewed by 3 PC members based on originality,
significance, technical soundness, and clarity of exposition. Authors
are requested to upload the abstracts of their papers before June 9, 2009
and to upload their complete papers by June 16, 2009. The selected Papers
will be published in book form in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer
Science (LNCS) series along with a CD with demo software and documents.
The best paper from all submissions will be determined by the PC and a
Best Paper Award will be handed over at the Symposium by a Sponsor. All submissions
must be done electronically. A selection of revised papers will be resubmitted
to a special issue of a journal. Submissions
to the RuleML Challenge 2009 consist of a demo paper of 3-5 pages,
describing the demo show case, and a link to more information about the demo/show
case, e.g. a project site, an online demonstration, a presentation about
the demonstration, or a download site for the demonstration. In case of
product demos, the link can be password-protected: please submit a password
for anonymous login from any Web browser, giving us the permission to
pass the password on to 3 PC members. The submissions should satisfy the minimal
requirements defined in the topics of interest and preferably exhibit some
of the additional desiderata. The more desiderata are met by an application,
the higher the score will be. The demos will be evaluated by the RuleML-2009
Program Committee and prizes will be awarded to the two best applications,
sponsored by the RuleML Inc. non-profit organization. Review
