https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=rulemlrr2018
choosing the “Int’l Rule Challenge” track.
To ensure high quality, submitted papers will be carefully peer-reviewed by 3 PC members based on clarity and significance of objectives and demonstration of results.
Submissions should address the following, where applicable:
- Explain the objectives, outcomes, benefits as you are going beyond the state of the art in technology, the application domain, and so on.
- Demonstrate the results with a concrete example balancing conciseness and completeness.
- Preferably (but not necessarily) embed the tool in a web-based or distributed environment or a mobile environment.
- Present end-user interactions, providing an adequate and usable interface that facilitates the usage of the application.
- Mention the availability of the software and data, data interchange, and possible tool extensions.
- Provide a web-link to the project site, online demonstration, or download site.
Please upload all submissions in LNCS format. International Rule Challenge 2018 proceedings will be published as CEUR Proceedings and
indexed by SCOPUS.
