The 7th REASONING WEB Summer School (RW 2011)
http://www.reasoningweb.org/2011/
23 – 27 August 2011
co-located with the
5th Int’l Conference on Web Reasoning and Rule Systems (RR2011)
Galway, Ireland
The Reasoning Web Summer School 2011 is primarily intended for postgraduate (PhD or MSc) students, postdocs, and other young researchers investigating aspects related to Reasoning on the Semantic Web and related issues. The Summer School will also be open to senior researchers wishing to learn about Semantic Web issues related to their own fields of research.
For further details please visit
http://www.reasoningweb.org/2011/
As in the previous years, we managed again to attract a distinguished group of expert lecturers, the majority of which will – apart from their lectures – also be present for the duration of the school to interact with students.
Interaction with senior researchers and establishing contacts within young researchers is a main focus of the school, which will be supported through social activities and an interactive, amicable atmosphere.
This year’s summer school will be co-located with the 5th International Conference on Web Reasoning and Rule Systems (RR2011), 29-30 Aug, cf. http://www.rr-conference.org/RR2011/) which is a great opportunity to attend a major conference in the area directly subsequent to the school.
