[Kdml] RuleML+RR -- deadline extension!

Call for Papers for RuleML+RR conference — deadline extension RuleML+RR 2022 26th-28th September in Berlin & on-line, Germany (part of DeclarativeAI and co-located with DecisionCAMP and the 18th Reasoning Web Summer School) The RuleML+RR 2022 conference is part of the event “Declarative AI: Rules, Reasoning, Decisions, and Explanations” and is co-located with DecisionCAMP 2022 and the Reasoning Web Summer School. It features the RuleChallenge and a Doctoral Consortium as associated events. The 6th International Joint Conference on Rules and Reasoning (RuleML+RR 2022) is the leading international joint conference in the field of rule-based reasoning. One of the main goals of RuleML+RR is to build bridges between academia and industry in the area of semantic reasoning. See https://2022.declarativeai.net/ . We are looking for high-quality papers related to theoretical advances, novel technologies, and artificial intelligence applications that involve rule-based representation and reasoning. Due to numerous requests, the deadline for RuleML+RR has been extended substantially. The important *new* dates for the RuleML+RR conference are: * June 19th: abstract submission deadline * June 23rd: paper submission deadline – strict! * August 1st: Notification of acceptance * September 26th-28th: Conference The confirmed keynote speakers for RuleML+RR are: Ian Horrocks (University of Oxford) Torsten Schaub (University of Potsdam) Christian de Saint Marie (IBM France) Paul Vincent (Industry Analyst) RuleML+RR 2022 Programm Chairs * Guido Governatori, Brisbane, Australia (gvdgdo(a)gmail.com) * Anni-Yasmin Turhan, Dresden University of Technology, Germany (anni-yasmin.turhan(a)tu-dresden.de) Topics RuleML+RR welcomes research from all areas of Rules and Reasoning. The topics of the conference include, but are not limited to: ### Ontology/Semantic Web * Vocabularies, ontologies, and business rules * Ontology-based mediated query answering * Rules for knowledge graphs and ontology learning * Rule-based data integration * Data management and data interoperability for web data * Distributed agent-based systems for the web ### Rules for AI and AI for Rules * Rule-based approaches to natural language processing * Applications of rule technologies with explainable AI (xAI) elements * Machine learning approaches involving rules * Explainable AI approaches based on rules, * Rule-based approaches for intelligent systems and intelligent information access ### Rules and Reasoning / Logics * Non-classical logics and the web * Description Logics, existential rules * Higher-order and modal rules * Constraint programming * Logic programming, ASP and datalog * Rule based argumentation * Rule-based approaches to agents and multi-agent systems * Reasoning with incomplete, inconsistent and uncertain data * Non-monotonic, common-sense, and closed-world reasoning * Inconsistency-tolerant rule reasoning ### Technical Aspects of Rule Systems / Rule Technology * Streaming data and complex event processing * Web reasoning and distributed rule inference and execution * Scalability and expressive power of logics for the Semantic Web * Scalability and expressive power of logics for rules ### Rules and Interoperability * Rule markup languages, rule interchange formats, and rule standards * Rule-based policies, reputation, and trust * Rules and human language technology ### System descriptions, applications and experiences of ontologies and rules in: * climate change monitoring, mitigation & adaptation * environmental protection * healthcare and life sciences * equity and social welfare * law, regulation, and finance * Digital Twins * Industrial contexts * Production & business rule systems . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Main conference track High-quality papers related to theoretical advances, novel technologies, and artificial intelligence applications concerning explainable algorithmic decision-making that involve rule-based representation and reasoning are solicited. We accept the following submission formats for papers: * Long papers (up to 15 pages in LNCS style including references) * Short papers (up to 8 pages in LNCS style including references) Long papers should present original and significant research and/or development results. Short papers should concisely describe general results or specific applications, systems, or position statements. All submissions must be prepared in Springer's LNCS style (http://www.springer.com/comp/lncs/authors.html). Submissions to the RuleML+RR conference Submitted papers must not substantially overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference/workshop with formal proceedings. Double submission to a workshop with informal proceedings is allowed. Papers put on arXiv are also allowed as long as they are not refereed (i.e., formally reviewed by peers). Please see https://2022.declarativeai.net/events/ruleml-rr/ruleml-rr-cfp for further details on preparing the submission. Papers can be submitted using EasyChair https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=declarativeai22 . Publication The conference proceedings will be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series (LNCS) after the conference. A selection of the accepted papers of RuleML+RR 2021 will be invited for submission to the Journal of Theory and Practice of Logic Programming (TPLP) published by Cambridge University Press. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 16th International Rule Challenge Track The Rule Challenge solicits high quality papers focussing on practical problems - or challenges - related to rule-based approaches. We welcome two different kinds of submissions: (1) Challenge descriptions: papers describing open challenges, interesting problems from academia or industry, and benchmarks which are of interest for the community and can be solved by rule-based approaches, including task description, datasets, and the evaluation criteria; (2) Challenge solutions: Papers supplying benchmarking or comparison results for rule engines, rule-based machine learning techniques, illustrating rule- and model-driven engineering, reporting on case studies and industrial experiences, and realizing mobile deployment of rule-based reasoning. All submissions must be formatted in the LNCS style and should be between 8-15 pages. The paper submission deadline is July 7th, 2022. The submission page is https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=declarativeai22 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . The Doctoral Consortium Track hosted at RuleML+RR 2022 aims at promoting student research in Artificial Intelligence, especially research on rule-based formalisms and reasoning. It offers PhD students close contact with leading experts in the field, as well as the opportunity to present and discuss their ideas in a dynamic and friendly setting. We invite PhD students at an early or intermediate stage of their PhD studies as well as exceptional Master’s students who are interested in pursuing a PhD to submit papers describing their research on any of the topics of interest to RuleML+RR 2022. RuleML+RR DC papers are limited to 8 pages written in English following the LNCS format and submitted electronically in PDF format jointly with a maximum 2 pages CV. Details can be found in the RuleML+RR 2022 DC CfP (https://2022.declarativeai.net/events/ruleml-rr/ruleml-rr-dc). The paper submission deadline is July 7th, 2022 (titles/abstracts are due on June 30, 2022).
