Open Call for Submissions to the 2009 Rules Challenge
============================================================================
The Rules Challenge is one of the highlights at
RuleML-2009 with prestigious
prizes. Submissions of benchmarks/evaluations, demos,
case studies / use
cases, experience reports, best practice solutions
(e.g. design patterns,
reference architectures, models), rule-based
implementations/ tools/
applications, demonstrations engineering methods,
implementations of rule
standards (e.g. RuleML, RIF,
SBVR, PRR, rule-based Event Processing
languages, BPMN+rules, BPEL+rules, ...), rules +
industrial standards (e.g.
XBRL, MISMO, Accord, ...), and industrial problem
statements are
particularly encouraged.
The participants of the Challenge have the opportunity
to understand the
most current trend of rule technology and standard
development through
highly interactive with the experts in this field.
Submission
============================================================================
In addition to your demo/hands-on/report/.. it is
possible to submit
Challenge demo papers describing research,
implementation, and technical
details of your submission. The peer-reviewed and
selected papers will be
published in additional special Challenge proceedings
(CEURS proceedings are
requested) along with the online publication of your
demo in the highly
visible growing Rules Challenge pool. A selection of
revised papers from the
Challenge will be resubmitted to a special issue of a
journal.
Authors are invited to submit original contributions
of practical relevance
and technical rigor in the field, benchmarks,
evaluations, experience
reports and show case/use case demonstrations of
effective, practical,
deployable rule-based technologies or applications in
distributed
environments. Papers must be in English.
Demo papers submission website:

Please upload all submissions as PDF files in LNCS
format
(http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html). To
ensure high quality,
submitted papers will be carefully peer-reviewed by 3
PC members based on
originality, significance, technical soundness, and
clarity of exposition.
Submissions to the Rules Challenge 2009 consist of a
demo paper of 4-8
pages, describing the demo show case, and a link to
more information about
the demo/show case, e.g. a project site, an online
demonstration, a
presentation about the demonstration, or a download
site for the
demonstration. In case of product demos, the link can
be password-protected:
please submit a password for anonymous login from any
Web browser, giving us
the permission to pass the password on to 3 PC
members.

W3C RIF Workshop at
RuleML-2009
============================================================================
The W3C Rule Interchange Format (RIF) Working Group
(www.w3.org/2005/rules/)
has recently published 6 specifications for the W3C
Rule Interchange Format
standard which includes a W3C RIF Production Rules
Dialect (RIF-PRD) and a
W3C Basic Logic Dialect (RIF-BLD).
The mission of the Rule Interchange Format (RIF)
Working Group is to produce
W3C recommendations for rules interchange languages. Next
step will be the
call for implementations of RIF
which might be demonstrated at the
RuleML-2009 W3C RIF
Workshop. Upcoming future RIF dialects might
address a
reaction rules dialect for rule-based complex event
processing (CEP).
The new RIF standard
is featured at the RuleML 2009 Conference in a W3C RIF
workshop in November 2009 (see http://2009.ruleml.org)
with a keynote from
Sandro Hawke (W3C staff representative on the RIF WG)
and a tutorial from
Christian de Sainte Marie (ILOG/IBM, co-chair of the
RIF WG). There will be
also keynote by Paul Vincent (TIBCO CTO for Business
Rules and CEP, EPTS-RA
WG Co-Chair) about "Why Rules Matter in Complex
Event Processing... and vice
versa" and a keynote by Donald Chapin (co-chair
of the OMG Business Modeling
& Integration Domain Task Force, co-chair OMG
SBVR) about "Terminology: The
Semantic Foundation for an Organization's Executable
Rules".
About RuleML-2009
