RR 2011 builds on the<br>success of the four previous International Conferences on Web<br>Reasoning and Rule Systems (see <a href="http://www.rr-conference.org/">http://www.rr-conference.org</a>), held<br>in Innsbruck, Austria (2007), Karlsruhe, Germany (2008), and<br>Chantilly, Virginia, USA(2009), Bressanone/ Brixen, Italy (2010),<br>and which received enthusiastic support from the Web Reasoning<br>community. In 2011, RR will continue the excellence of the new<br>series and aim to attract the best WebReasoning and Rules<br>researchers from all over the world. Moreover, this year's<br>conference will be co-located with the 7th Reasoning Web Summer<br>School (23-27 Aug, cf. <a href="http://reasoningweb.org/2011/">http://reasoningweb.org/2011/</a> for details)<br>which is a great opportunity particularly for young researchers to<br>combine with attendance of the conference. Poster submissions by<br>summer school participants are particularly encouraged.<br><br>==Student Grants==<br><br>There will be a limited number of student grants available for students <br>attending the co-located summer school and RR (preference will be given<br>to students that have an accepted poster or demo at the conference). For <br>details on how to apply for student grants, please check: <br><br><a href="http://reasoningweb.org/2011/ApplicationRegistration.html">http://reasoningweb.org/2011/ApplicationRegistration.html</a><br><br>==Topics==<br><br>* Representation techniques for Web-based knowledge<br>* Acquisition of rules and ontologies by knowledge extraction<br>* Combining open and closed-world reasoning<br>* Combining rules and ontologies<br>* Design and analysis of reasoning languages<br>* Efficiency and benchmarking<br>* Implemented tools and systems<br>* Foundations and applications related to relevant standardization bodies<br>* Ontology usability<br>* Ontology languages and their relationships<br>* Querying and optimization<br>* Rules and ontology management (such as inconsistency handling and evolution)<br>* Reasoning with uncertainty and under inconsistency<br>* Reasoning with constraints<br>* Rule languages and systems<br>* Rule interchange formats and Rule markup languages<br>* Scalability vs. expressivity of reasoning on the Web<br>* Approximate reasoning techniques for the Web<br>* Integration of statistical methods and symbolic reasoning<br>* Stream reasoning<br>* Semantic Web Services modeling and applications<br>* Web and Semantic Web applications and experience papers<br><br>==Publication==<br><br>The conference proceedings will be published within Springer's<br>Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. After the<br>conference, selected papers from the conference will be invited to<br>submit extended versions to a special issue of the (IOS Press)<br>journal "Semantic Web - Interoperability, Usability, Applicability".<br><br>==Submission of Papers==<br><br>Submissions must be typeset using the Springer LaTeX2e style llncs<br>for Lecture Notes in Computer Science (see<br><a href="http://www.springer.com/comp/lncs/Authors.html">http://www.springer.com/comp/lncs/Authors.html</a>), and must be in PDF<br>format. Submission is via EasyChair<br>(<a href="http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=rr2011">http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=rr2011</a>). The length<br>should not exceed 15 pages for full papers. We also solicit poster<br>papers (accompanying a poster to be presented at the conference's<br>poster session) as well as system descriptions (for proposed system<br>demos at the conference), both with an upper limit of 6 pages. The<br>stated lengths include title, abstract, and references. Poster<br>papers and system descriptions should be clearly marked as such in<br>the title and in the easychair submission system. Submissions that<br>deviate substantially from these guidelines may be rejected without<br>review. Original research and application papers are welcome;<br>submissions will especially be judged for originality and scientific<br>quality. All accepted papers, posters, and system descriptions will<br>be included in the proceedings.<br><br>==Important Dates==<br><br>Abstract submission (new!): April 27, 2011 <br>Full paper submission (new!): May 4, 2011 <br>Notification of acceptance: June 10, 2011<br><br><br>==Invited Speakers==<br><br>Marie-Laure Mugnier<br>LIRMM (CNRS and University of Montpellier), France<br><br>Marcelo Arenas<br>Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, Santiago, Chile <br><br>==Organization==<br><br>* General chair<br>- Heiner Stuckenschmidt<br><br>* Program chairs<br>- Sebastian Rudolph<br>- Claudio Gutierrez<br><br>* Local Chair<br>- Axel Polleres<br><br>* Sponsorship Chair<br>- Krzysztof Janowicz<br><br>* Program committee<br>- Marcelo Arenas<br>- Jean-François Baget<br>- Andrea Cali<br>- Vinay Chaudhri<br>- Claudia D'Amato<br>- Sergio Flesca<br>- Georg Gottlob<br>- Stijn Heymans<br>- Rinke Hoekstra<br>- Giovambattista Ianni<br>- Domenico Lembo<br>- Francesca Alessandra Lisi<br>- Thomas Lukasiewicz<br>- Wolfgang May<br>- Boris Motik<br>- Ralf Möller<br>- Andrea Pugliese<br>- Guilin Qi<br>- Alan Ruttenberg<br>- Umberto Straccia<br>- Terrance Swift<br>- Sergio Tessaris<br><br><br><br>_________________________________________________<br>Dr. Sebastian Rudolph<br>senior researcher & project leader at AIFB<br>Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT)<br><a href="mailto:rudolph@kit.edu">rudolph@kit.edu</a> phone (new!) +49 721 608 - 47362<br><a href="http://www.sebastian-rudolph.de/">www.sebastian-rudolph.de</a> fax (new!) +49 721 608 - 45998<br><div>
