The registration is free of charge.

High-quality submissions presenting innovative rule-based tools, demos and applications, related to the RuleML+RR 2020 track topics.

Important Dates

Paper submission: May 22, 2020 (updated on March 27, 2020)

Author notification: June 10, 2020

Camera-ready submission: June 22, 2020

Challenge: 29 June - 1 July 2020, Oslo, Norway -- Online on Zoom

For each of these deadlines, a cut-off point of 23:59 AOE (anywhere on earth) applies.

The Challenge

The RuleML+RR Challenge is one of the highlights of the conference and seeks to provide competition among innovative rule-oriented applications, aimed at both the research and industrial side.

A prize (500 euro) will be awarded for the best Rule Challenge paper/demo. The assessment criteria include originality, creativity together with feasibility.

Submissions may present demos related to the RuleML+RR 2020 track topics, supply benchmarks and comparison results for rule engines, illustrate rule- and model-driven engineering, report on industrial experiences, present real cases and practical experiences, and realize mobile deployment of rule-based reasoning.

Topics

Key themes of the RuleML+RR 2020 Challenge include, but are not limited to the following:

Rule standardization for research, industry and government
Rule-based machine learning tools and techniques
Rule-based approaches for intelligent systems
Rule-based Event Processing and Stream Reasoning
Business Rules Modelling
Graph-Relational Data and Knowledge systems
Higher-Order-Logic and Modal-Logic systems
Rule and Ontology combinations
Modular Rule systems
Distributed Rule systems / multi-agent systems
Ontology-Based Data Access (OBDA) systems
Answer Set Programming (ASP) systems
Constraint Logic Programming (CLP) systems
Blockchain Rule systems
Defeasible, Argumentation, and Legal systems
(Controlled) Natural language interfaces
Distributed rule bases and rule services
Rules and model-driven engineering
Reports on industrial experience about rule systems
Combining rules with knowledge extraction and information retrieval
Rules and social media

Submissions

The challenge seeks high quality, original papers, potentially referencing online material, and ranging between 5-25 pages (in LNCS style). Submitted papers must be original contributions written in English.

Submissions: via EasyChair https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=rulemlrr2020

Remember to choose the "Challenge" track.

To ensure high quality, submissions will be carefully peer-reviewed by at least 3 PC members based on clarity and significance of objectives and demonstration of results.

Submissions should address the following, where possible:

Explain the objectives, outcomes, benefits as you are going beyond the state of the art in technology, the application domain, etc.
Demonstrate the results with a concrete example balancing conciseness and completeness.
Preferably (but not necessarily) embed the tool in a web-based or distributed environment or a mobile environment.
Present end-user interactions, providing an adequate and usable interface that favors a concrete usage of the application.
Mention the availability of the software and data, data interchange, and possible tool extensions.
Provide a web-link to the project site, online demonstration, or download site.

Publication

Please upload all submissions in LNCS format. International Rule Challenge 2020 proceedings will be published as CEUR Proceedings and indexed by SCOPUS.
