<p class=MsoPlainText>Overview and Aim<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>============================================================================<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>The International Symposium on Rules, Applications and
Interoperability has<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>evolved from an annual series of international workshops
since 2002,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>international conferences in 2005 and 2006, and
international symposia since<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>2007. This year, the 3rd International Symposium on
Rules, Applications and<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Interoperability (RuleML-2009) takes place in Las Vegas,
Nevada, USA,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>collocated with the 12th Business Rules Forum, the
world's largest Business<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Rules event. RuleML-2009 is devoted to practical
distributed rule<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Technologies and rule-based applications which need
language standards for <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Rules (inter)operating in, e.g., the Semantic Web,
Multi-Agent Systems,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Event-Driven Architectures, and Service-Oriented
Applications. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>The main goal of RuleML-2009 is to stimulate the
cooperation and<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>interoperability between business and research, by
bringing together rule<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>system providers, participants in rule standardization
efforts, open source<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>communities, practitioners, and researchers. The concept
of the symposium<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>has also advanced continuously in the face of extremely
rapid progress in<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>practical rule and event processing technologies. As a
result, RuleML-2009<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>will feature hands-on demonstrations and challenges
alongside a wide range<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>of thematic tracks, and thus will be an exciting venue to
exchange new <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>ideas and experiences on all issues related to the
engineering, management,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>integration, interoperation and interchange of rules in
open distributed <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>environments such as the Web.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText>Conference Theme<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>============================================================================<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>This year, we particularly welcome submissions that
address applications of<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Web rule technologies for business and information
systems. We invite you to<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText>============================================================================<span
style='color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>The RuleML-2009 Demo Challenge is one of
the highlights of RuleML-2009. </span>We<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>invite submissions of demos where rules are used in
interesting and<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>practically relevant ways to, e.g., derive useful
information, transform<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>knowledge, provide decision support and provide automated
rule-based<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>monitoring, enforcement, validation or management of the
behavioural logic<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>of the application. The Challenge offers participants the
chance to <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>demonstrate their commercial and open source tools, use
cases, and <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>applications. Submissions are solicited in these
categories:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText> - Benchmarks (test cases, suites) with evaluations
of (their own, other)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText> rule engines and/or rule translators,
possibly drawing on our growing<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText> pool at
http://ruleml-challenge.cs.nccu.edu.tw<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText> - Case studies (use cases) implemented via
engines/translators employing<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText> rule standards such as RIF, RuleML,
CLIPS, Common Logic, SBVR, and ISO<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText> Prolog.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>We welcome all demos about tools and applications using
rules such as: <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText> - Derivation rules, including query and integrity
rules <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText> - ECA rules, including production rules, reaction
rules, and rule-based<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span style='color:#1F497D'> </span>CEP<span
style='color:#1F497D'> </span>languages<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Authors of demo are also invited to submit a Challenge
demo paper for<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>publications in the conference proceedings, see the
submission section below<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>for submission details.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Prizes will be awarded to the two best applications from
each category. All<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>accepted demos will be presented in a special Challenge
Session. A<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>submission to the RuleML Challenge has to meet the
requirement that <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>declarative rules explicitly play a central role in the
application. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Basically this means that:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Rules are explicitly represented in a declarative format
and they are<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>decoupled from the application (rather than being
compiled or hard-coded<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>into the application logic). The demo should preferably
(but not necessarily) <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>be embedded into a web-based or distributed environment
so that there will <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>be a need for features related to the RuleML conference
topics, as listed <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>in the call for papers. For more details and the demo

<p class=MsoPlainText>Please upload all submissions as PDF files in LNCS format<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>(http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html). To
ensure high quality,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>submitted papers will be carefully peer-reviewed by 3 PC
members based on<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>originality, significance, technical soundness, and
clarity of exposition.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Authors are requested to upload the abstracts of their
papers before June 9,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>2009 and to upload their complete papers by June 16,
2009. The selected<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Papers will be published in book form in the Springer
Lecture Notes in <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Computer Science (LNCS) series along with a CD with demo
software and <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>documents. The best paper from all submissions will be
determined by the PC and <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>a Best Paper Award will be handed over at the Symposium
by a Sponsor. All <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>submissions must be done electronically. A selection of
revised papers will be<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText> resubmitted to a special issue of a journal.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Submissions to the RuleML Challenge 2009 consist of a
demo paper of 3-5<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>pages, describing the demo show case, and a link to more
information about the<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>demo/show case, e.g. a project site, an online
demonstration, a presentation<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>about the demonstration, or a download site for the
demonstration. In case<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>of product demos, the link can be password-protected:
please submit a <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>password for anonymous login from any Web browser, giving
us the permission <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>to pass the password on to 3 PC members. The submissions
should satisfy the <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>minimal requirements defined in the topics of interest
and preferably exhibit <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>some of the additional desiderata. The more desiderata
are met by an <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>application, the higher the score will be. The demos will
be evaluated by the <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>RuleML-2009 Program Committee and prizes will be awarded
to the two best <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>applications, sponsored by the RuleML Inc. non-profit
organization.<o:p></o:p></p>
