CALL FOR APPLICATIONS
The 10th Reasoning Web Summer School (RW 2014)
Athens, Greece, September 8-13, 2014
http://reasoningweb.org/2014/
**********************************************    (01)

   Athens, Greece, September 15-17, 2014
   http://www.rr-conference.org/RR2014    (03)

The purpose of the Reasoning Web Summer School is to disseminate
recent advances on reasoning techniques which are of particular
interest to Semantic Web and Linked Data applications. It is
primarily intended for postgraduate (PhD or MSc) students,
postdocs, young researchers, and senior researchers wishing to
learn about Reasoning on the Semantic Web and related issues.
In 2014, the theme of the school is:    (04)

     "Reasoning on the Web in the Big Data Era"    (05)

As in the previous years, lectures in the summer school will be
given by a distinguished group of expert lecturers. Apart from
their lectures, lecturers will also be present for the duration
of the school to interact and establish contacts with the students.    (06)

The summer school is co-located with RR2014, hence, there will be
a great opportunity for students to also attend a major event in
the area after the school. In addition, RR will also include a
Doctoral Consortium and students of RW are particularly encouraged
to also apply to the Doctoral consortium of RR - joint applications
are explicitly encouraged.    (07)
