     Co-located with the International Semantic Web Conference '09

The International Conference on Web Reasoning and Rule Systems (RR) is
a major forum for discussion and dissemination of new results
concerning Web Reasoning and Rule Systems. RR 2009 builds on the
success of the first two International Conferences on Web Reasoning
and Rule Systems, held in 2007 in Innsbruck and in and 2008 in
Karlsruhe, which received enthusiastic support from the Web Rules
community. In 2009, RR will continue the excellence of the new series
and aim to attract the best Web Reasoning and Rules researchers from
all over the world.

         Interchange Format (RIF), Web Ontology Language (OWL2) and
         SPARQL working groups, or the W3C Uncertainty Reasoning for the
         World Wide Web Incubator Group, etc.
  *  Ontology usability
  *  Ontology languages and their relationships

Co-located with the 12th Business Rules Forum	Call for Papers RuleML 2009   3rd International Symposium on Rules, Applications, and Interoperability November 5 - 7 2009, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA http://2009.ruleml.org/
General Chair: Adrian Paschke, Freie Universität Berlin, Germany   Program Chairs: Guido Governatori, NICTA, Australia   John Hall, Model System, UK	Overview and Aim The International Symposium on Rules, Applications and Interoperability has evolved from an annual series of international workshops since 2002, international conferences in 2005 and 2006, and international symposia since 2007. This year, the 3rd International Symposium on Rules, Applications and Interoperability (RuleML-2009) takes place in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, collocated with the 12th Business Rules Forum, the world's largest Business Rules event. RuleML-2009 is devoted to practical distributed rule technologies and rule-based applications.   The main goal of RuleML-2009 is to stimulate the cooperation and interoperability between business and research, by bringing together rule system providers, participants in rule standardization efforts, open source communities, practitioners, and researchers. The concept of the symposium has also advanced continuously in the face of extremely rapid progress in practical rule and event processing technologies. As a result, RuleML-2009 will feature hands-on demonstrations and challenges alongside a wide range of thematic tracks, thus and will be an exciting venue to exchange new ideas and experiences on all issues related to the engineering, management, integration, interoperation and interchange of rules in open distributed environments such as the Web.   Conference Theme This year, we particularly welcome submissions that address applications of Web rule technologies for business and information systems. We invite you to share your ideas, results, and experiences: as an industry practitioner, rule system provider, technical expert and developer, rule user or researcher, exploring foundations, developing systems and applications, or using rule-based systems. We invite high-quality submissions related to (but not limited to) one or more of the following topics:   Relevant Track Topics   ·          Rule Transformation and Extraction ·          Rules and Uncertainty ·          Rules and Norms ·          Rule-based Game AI ·          Rule-based Event Processing and Reaction Rules ·          Rules and Cross Industry Standards ·          General Rule Topics ·          RuleML-2009 Challenge   The RuleML-2009 Challenge is one of the highlights of RuleML-2009. Case studies, experience reports and industrial problem statements are particularly encouraged. Proceedings The peer-reviewed and selected papers will be published in book form in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series along with a CD with demo software and documents. A selection of revised papers will be resubmitted to a special issue of a journal.   Important Dates: Abstract Submission before        June 9, 2009 Paper Submissions due              June 16, 2009 Notification of acceptance           July 18, 2009 Final submissions due                August 9, 2009 Symposium date                       November 5-7, 2009 RuleML Challenge                      November 5, 2009    Conference Venue RuleML-2009 will take place at Bellagio in Las Vegas, Nov. 5-8, 2009

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to inform you about RuleML-2009 which will be together with
the Business Rules Forum, in Las Vegas, Nov. 5-7, 2009.

We are currently building a very attractive and interesting RuleML-2009
program (see the attached RuleML-2009 news below). RuleML-2009 is under the
100 top venues with respect to impact in CiteseerX
(http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/stats/venues) and one of the featured European
Union ICT technology conferences and the premier conference addressing (Web)
rules systems and rule standards.

We have an open Call for Submissions for the 3rd Int. Rules Challenge at
RuleML-2009. Please find below the Call for Submission together with latest
news about the overall RuleML-2009 program, the 3rd Int. Rules Challenge and
the new W3C RIF workshop.

We would like to encourage you to submit a demo about your rules system(s)
to the Challenge.

The Rules Challenge is one of the highlights at RuleML-2009 with prestigious
prizes for the winners and high visibility of your demo in the growing
online pool of rules demo systems.

MAKE RuleML-2009 YOUR SHOWCASE!


Best regards,

Adrian Paschke

(General Chair of RuleML-2009)

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
============================================================================
This year, the 3rd International Symposium on Rules, Applications and
Interoperability (RuleML-2009) takes place in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA,
collocated with the 12th Business Rules Forum, the world's largest Business
