[rules-users] Sponship Request for RuleML

[Mark Proctor]

I will be at the RuleML conference again this year. Last year was a 
great event with lots of good presentations and knowledge sharing. While 
the conference is organised by the RuleML group it is not specific to 
the RuleML standard and various standards and technologies are discussed 
at this event - which is what makes it so important.

As always these things can't happen without funding. This year Red Hat 
will be a RuleML sponsor and I strongly encourage others to help sponsor 
this fantastic event. Sponsorship starts from as little as $500 for 
Bronze. You can view the pdf detailing these sponsorship packages here

International RuleML Symposium on Rule Interchange and Applications

The 2008 International RuleML Symposium on Rule Interchange and 
Applications, RuleML-2008 (http://2008.ruleml.org 
<http://2008.ruleml.org/>), is the primary industrial-oriented meeting 
place to discuss the applicability and commercialisation of web rule 
technologies for enterprises and public organizations. At this, 
RuleML-2008 addresses users, system providers, practitioners, developers 
and researchers as well as representatives of rule/event standardization 
efforts and open source rule communities. After last year's highly 
successful RuleML-2007 (http://2007.ruleml.org 
<http://2007.ruleml.org/>), RuleML-2008 again joins the established, 
practically oriented Business Rules Forum 
(http://www.businessrulesforum.com <http://www.businessrulesforum.com/>) 
to help cross-fertilizing between Web and Business Logic technology.

The symposium will be again held in Orlando, Florida, US, October 30/31, 
2008. Participants will be offered an exciting venue to exchange new 
ideas, practical developments and experiences on issues related to the 
engineering, management, integration, interoperation and interchange of 
rules in open distributed environments such as the Web. RuleML-2008 will 
enable delegates to better understand web rules and event processing 
technologies and their potential, and how to exploit these technologies 
in their organizations

The RuleML-2008 highlights will include:

   1. Plenary keynotes and a panel discussion featuring prominent and
      visionary speakers.
   2. A RuleML-2008 Challenge with prizes to demonstrate tools, use
      cases, and applications.
   3. Scientific research, industry, and demo papers and presentations
      advancing and assessing the state of the art in event and
      rule-based systems selected in a peer-reviewed fashion by an
      international program committee.
   4. Invited talks given by world-class scientists and industrials
      featuring conceptual topics on event and rule-based computing and
      industry success stories.
   5. Social events to promote networking among the symposium delegates
      in an informal setting.

The RuleML-2008 Challenge with prestigious prizes provides an excellent 
opportunity to showcase your organization and become associated with 
this innovation driven technology market, characterized by strong market 
growth, visibility and commercial opportunities.
