RR 2012
The 6th International Conference on Web Reasoning and Rule Systems
Vienna, Austria, 10-12 September 2012
http://www.rr-conference.org/RR2012/
The International Conference on Web Reasoning and Rule Systems (RR) is a major forum for discussion and dissemination of new results concerning Web Reasoning and Rule Systems.
Highlights in 2012
In addition to regular papers, RR 2012 solicits the submission of TECHNICAL COMMUNICATIONS (TCs) that report about some interesting recent work, preliminary result, or inspiring viewpoints. Selected TCs will be invited for a full presentation like regular papers.
RR 2012 is co-located with a number of interesting events:
- 8th Reasoning Web Summer School: 4-8 September, http://reasoningweb.org/2012/
- COMMA 2012: 4th Int. Conf. on Computational Models of Argument: 10-12 September, http://www.kr.tuwien.ac.at/events/comma2012/
- DEXA 2012: 23rd Int. Conf. on Database and Expert Systems Applications: 03-07 September, http://www.dexa.org/
- 2nd Workshop “Datalog 2.0”: 11-13 September, http://www.dbai.tuwien.ac.at/event/datalog-2.0/
The Reasoning Web Summer School is a great opportunity particularly for young researchers to combine with attendance of the conference. Submissions by summer school participants are particularly encouraged.
Topics
RR welcomes original research from all areas of Web Reasoning. Topics of particular interest are:
- Semantic Web, Rule and Ontology Languages, and related logics
- Reasoning, Querying, Searching and Optimization
- Incompleteness, Inconsistency and UncertaintyNon-monotonic, Commonsense, and Closed-World Reasoning for the Web
- Dynamic information, Stream Reasoning and Complex Event Processing
- Decision Making, Planning, and Intelligent Agents
- Reasoning, Machine Learning, Knowledge Extraction and IR Technologies
- Large-scale data management and reasoning on the Web of Data
- Data Integration, Dataspaces and Ontology-Based Data Access
- Non-Standard Reasoning
- Algorithms for distributed, parallelized, and scalable reasoning
- System Descriptions and Experimentation
- Applications and Experience Papers
Submissions
The conference proceedings will be published by Springer within the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. Submissions must be prepared in Springer’s LaTeX style llncs (http://bit.ly/oPRW8y). There are two submission formats:
- Full papers (up to 15 pages): Original research works in the above areas
- echnical Communications (up to 4 pages): Results and ideas with interest to the RR audience, including reports about recent own publications, position papers, and presentations of preliminary results
All accepted submissions will be included in the proceedings, with Technical Communications clearly marked as such. Authors of full papers and of selected Technical Communications will be invited to give a talk at the conference. Authors of all accepted submissions will have the opportunity to present a poster.
Submissions can be made in EasyChair: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=rr2012
