Second Call for Submissions to the
2009 Rules Challenge
====================================================================
The Rules Challenge is one of the highlights at
RuleML-2009. Submissions
are bound to come to the attention of a wide audience,
for reasons
outlined below. The goal of the Rules Challenge is to
encourage any
work of practical relevance in the field of Rule Based
Applications,
spanning the range from research to industry.
* What to submit
Submission topics may come from a wide range of the
field, such as
(but not limited to) the following:
- best practice solutions, e.g., design patterns
and architecture models;
- case studies and experience reports describing
novel or interesting
solutions and use cases;
- benchmarks and other evaluations of rule-based
systems;
- tools for manipulating rules and related data in
existing or
emerging standards (e.g., RuleML, RIF, SBVR, PRR,...) or commercial
rule-based system implementations;
- engineering methods for development and
deployment of rule-based
solutions.
Authors are invited to submit original contributions
of practical
relevance and technical rigor in the field.
A submission should consist of a paper (typically of
4-8 pages) describing
any theoretical foundation, implementation issues,
technical details and
collected results of your work. If applicable, a
demonstration program
illustrating your development would be highly valued.
* Publication and Review
Peer-reviewed papers, which must be in English,
will be published
in additional special Challenge proceedings, to be
published (as
CEUR proceedings www.CEUR-WS.org), along with the online publication
of your demo in the highly visible growing Rules
Challenge pool
(http://ruleml-challenge.cs.nccu.edu.tw). To ensure high quality,
submitted papers will be carefully peer-reviewed by 3
PC members
based on originality, significance, technical
soundness, and clarity
of exposition. A selection of revised papers
from the Challenge will
be resubmitted to a special issue of a journal.
