Ontologies and automated > reasoning are key techniques in the semantic web initiative. > Rules are considered to be a major issue in the further development of > the semantic web. On one hand, they can be used in ontology languages, > either in conjunction with or as an alternative to description logics. > And on the other hand, they will act as a means to draw inferences, to > express constraints, to specify policies, to react to events/changes, > to transform data, etc. > > Finally, rule markup languages will allow to enrich web ontologies by > adding definitions of derived concepts, to publish rules on the Web, > to exchange rules between different systems and tools, etc. > > The workshop builds on the success of the first workshop RuleML2002 > (http://www.ceur-ws.org/Vol-60/) held in conjunction with ISWC2002 > on Sardinia, Italy, and the second workshop held in conjunction with > ISWC2003 on Sanibel Island, USA > ( http://tmitwww.tm.tue.nl/staff/gwagner/RuleML-2003.html). This year's > workshop combines that tradition, in the sense of being the premier > RuleML-2004 event, with casting as wide a net as possible regarding > all kinds of Rules and Rule Markup Languages for the Semantic Web. > > TOPICS OF INTEREST > > We encourage submissions on all topics related to rules and rule > lanugages for the Semantic Web. In particular, the workshop seeks papers > addressing syntax and semantics of rule languages, execution engines, > implemented systems, and applications. Specifically: > > - language standards (RuleML, SWRL, Jess, N3, F-logic/FLORA-2, etc.) > - execution models, engines, and environments > - reaction rules for the Semantic Web > - event/action languages > - defeasible rules for the Semantic Web > - defeasible concept definitions in ontologies > - resolving conflicts in triggered action sets > - implemented tools and systems for rules on the Semantic Web > - combining rules and ontologies, integrating rules and description logics > - multiple language rules (Prolog, KIF, SQL, OCL, XML, RDF, etc.) > - applications based on RDF, ontologies, and rules (including e-Services, > e-Learning, e-Commerce, Knowledge Management, Bioinformatics) > - modelling of business rules on the Web > - rule-based software agents and the Semantic Web > - automated negotiations with rule-based declarative strategies > - connecting rules to legacy knowledge bases > - integrating rule bases and distributed fact bases > - handling lineage and reliability of distributed information > - XSL transformations of rules > - < yourTopic ... > > > SUBMISSION > > We invite articles of no more than 15 pages length formated in Springer's > LNCS style (www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html) describing original > completed work, work in progress, or interesting problems or use cases. > Submitted papers will be fully refereed based on the originality and > significance of the ideas presented as well as on technical aspects. > It is planned that proceedings will be published by Springer in the LNCS > series (www.springer.de/comp/lncs/index.html).
