[Kdml] [RuleML+RR 2025] Call for papers

############################################################################### The 9th International Joint Conference on Rules and Reasoning (RuleML+RR 2025) == Call for Papers == *** RuleML+RR 2025 *** *** 22-24 September 2025 *** *** İstanbul, Türkİye *** Abstract: June 2nd, 2025 Paper: June 9th, 2025 Homepage: https://2025.declarativeai.net/events/ruleml-rr RuleML+RR 2025 is part of Declarative AI 2025 (https://2025.declarativeai.net/) ############################################################################### RuleML+RR 2025 is a 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. RuleML+RR 2025 aims to bring together researchers and practitioners interested in the foundations and applications of rules and reasoning. It provides a forum for stimulating cooperation between different communities focused on the research, development, and applications of rule-based systems. We solicit high-quality papers related to theoretical advances, novel technologies, and applications that involve rule-based representation and reasoning or other declarative forms of artificial intelligence. The RuleML+RR 2025 conference is part of the event “Declarative AI: Rules, Reasoning, Decisions, and Explanations” (https://2025.declarativeai.net/) and is co-located with DecisionCAMP 2025 and the Reasoning Web Summer School. Apart from the main track, it features: * Rule Challenge (https://2025.declarativeai.net/events/ruleml-rr/rule-challenge), * Doctoral Consortium (https://2025.declarativeai.net/events/ruleml-rr/doctoral-consortium), * Industry Track (https://2025.declarativeai.net/events/ruleml-rr/industry-track), * Project Networking Session (https://2025.declarativeai.net/events/ruleml-rr/networking-session) *** 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 * Rules for AI and AI for Rules * Rules and Reasoning / Logics * Rules-Based Systems * Rules and Interoperability * Constraints and Schema * System Descriptions, Applications and Experiences of Ontologies and Rules See the conference homepage for more details on the topics: https://2025.declarativeai.net/events/ruleml-rr/cfp *** Important Dates *** Main track: Abstract submission: June 2, 2025 Paper submission: June 9, 2025 Notification: July 28, 2025 Conference: September 22–24, 2025 Associated events (Rule Challenge, Doctoral Consortium, Industry Track, and ProjectNetworking Session) - July 10, 2025: Paper submission deadline - July 31, 2025: Notification of acceptance For each of these deadlines, a cut-off point of 23:59 AOE applies. **Submission and Publication** 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 excluding references, plus 2 additional pages for references) - Short papers (up to 8 pages in LNCS style excluding references, plus 1 additional page for 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). 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). Submissions to the RuleML+RR conference - abide by the page limits (see above) - are not anonymous - can have additional material included as an external report (appendices to the submission are not permitted and a paper should be self-contained) Papers should be written in English and submitted using EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=rulemlrr2025 The conference proceedings will be published by Springer in the Lecture Notesin Computer Science series (LNCS) after the conference. Proceedings of the associated events will be published by CEUR. Special Issues of Theory and Practice of Logic Programming and Transactions on Graph Data and Knowledge are planned with extended versions of selected papers. The main track's best paper will be awarded the RuleML+RR Harold Boley Distinguished Paper Award 2025 and best student paper will be awarded the RuleML+RR Best Student Paper Award 2025. The best RuleML Challenge paper will be awarded the RuleML+RR Best Rule Challenge Paper Award 2025. The best Doctoral Consortium paper will be awarded the RuleML+RR Best Doctoral Consortium Paper Award 2025. ***Chairs*** Program Chairs Aidan Hogan, University of Chile, Chile Ken Satoh, National Institute of Informatics, Japan Proceedings Chairs Dumitru Roman, SINTEF AS, Norway Ahmet Soylu, Kristiania University College, Norway Rule Challenge Chairs Alessandro Margara, Politecnico di Milano, Italy Tomáš Kliegr, Prague University of Economics and Business, Czechia Doctoral Consortium Chairs Shqiponja Ahmetaj, TU Wien, Austria Riccardo Tommasini, INSA Lyon, France Industry Track Chairs Luigi Bellomarini, Banca d’Italia, Italy Evgeny Kharlamov, Bosch Center for Artificial Intelligence, Germany Ioana Georgiana Ciuciu, Babeș-Bolyai University, Romania Networking Session Dumitru Roman, SINTEF AS, Norway George Konstantinidis, University of Southampton, UK Emanuel Sallinger, Vienna University of Technology, Austria Publicity Chairs Kai Sauerwald, FernUniversität in Hagen, Germany Tor-Morten Grønli, Kristiania University College, Norway Romuald Esdras Wandji, Umeå University, Sweeden
