5th RuleML Doctoral Consortium

The RuleML 2015 Doctoral Consortium is an initiative of the 
International Web Rule Symposium (RuleML), to attract and promote Ph.D. 
research.


The doctoral symposium offers to students a close contact with leading 
experts on the field, as well as the opportunity to present and discuss 
their ideas in a dynamic and friendly setting.

The accepted Phd thesis descriptions will be presented to an interested 
audience and subject to discussion with a panel of senior researchers.
This year the accepted Phd papers will be discussed by the author with 
senior researchers during the RuleML Doctoral consortium mentoring 
lunch.
The author is also expected to present her/his theses in the form of a 
poster, during the combined poster session.

Both the DC mentoring lunch and the poster session will take place on 
August the 4th 2015.

We expect submissions on any (but not limited to) of this year's 
RuleML2015 topics.
Students are invited to submit an original description of their work 
addressing the following aspects:
* A clear formulation of the research question.
* An identification of the significant problems in the field of 
research.
* An outline of the current knowledge of the problem domain, as well as 
the state of existing solutions.
* A presentation of any preliminary ideas, the proposed approach and the 
results achieved so far.
* A sketch of the applied research methodology.
* A description of the Ph.D. project's contribution to the problem 
solution.
* A discussion of how the suggested solution is different, new, or 
better as compared to existing approaches to the problem.
