Conf. on Database and Expert Systems Applications 03-07 September, http://www.dexa.org/ - 2nd Workshop "Datalog 2.0" 11-13 September, http://www.dbai.tuwien.ac.at/event/datalog-2.0/ The Reasoning Web Summer School is a great opportunity particularly for young researchers to combine with attendance of the conference. Submissions by summer school participants are particularly encouraged. == Topics == RR welcomes original research from all areas of Web Reasoning. Topics of particular interest are: - Semantic Web, Rule and Ontology Languages, and related logics - Reasoning, Querying, Searching and Optimization - Incompleteness, Inconsistency and Uncertainty - Non-monotonic, Commonsense, and Closed-World Reasoning for the Web - Dynamic information, Stream Reasoning and Complex Event Processing - Decision Making, Planning, and Intelligent Agents - Reasoning, Machine Learning, Knowledge Extraction and IR Technologies - Large-scale data management and reasoning on the Web of Data - Data Integration, Dataspaces and Ontology-Based Data Access - Non-Standard Reasoning - Algorithms for distributed, parallelized, and scalable reasoning - System Descriptions and Experimentation - Applications and Experience Papers == Submissions == The conference proceedings will be published by Springer within the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. Submissions must be prepared in Springer's LaTeX style llncs (http://bit.ly/oPRW8y). There are two submission formats: - Full papers (up to 15 pages) Original research works in the above areas - Technical Communications (up to 4 pages) Results and ideas with interest to the RR audience, including reports about recent own publications, position papers, and presentations of preliminary results All accepted works will be included in the proceedings, with Technical Communications clearly marked as such.
