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)

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). Papers can be submitted via
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=declarativeai22 .
