RuleML-2008: Deadline Extension
by Adrian Paschke 12 Sep '08

12 Sep '08

[ our apologies should you receive this message more than one time ] ===================================================================== Due to a number of requests we have to decided to extend the submission deadline by 2 weeks. NEW deadline for paper/demo submission: June 16 ===================================================================== 2008 International RuleML Symposium on Rule Interchange and Applications (RuleML-2008) October 30-31, 2008, Orlando, Florida http://2008.ruleml.org -------------------------------------------------------------------- RuleML-2008 Highlights: - Keynote speakers: * Michael Kifer (State University of New York at Stony Brook, USA), on "Rule Interchange Format: Not Just Syntax". Joint keynote between RuleML-2008 and RR2008. * David Luckham (Stanford University, USA) on complex event processing. * Paul Haley (Haley Ltd) on business rules. * Benjamin Grosof (Vulcan Inc, USA) on the SILK KRR system of the HALO project. (Details at: http://2008.ruleml.org/keynote.php ) - Joint Lunch Panel with the Business Rules Forum about "Rules on the Web" - RuleML-2008 Challenge with prestigious prices (Details at: http://2008.ruleml.org/challenge.php ) (Submissions at: http://ruleml-challenge.cs.nccu.edu.tw/ ) - Lightning talks / Highlight talks Accepted papers will be published in Springer LNCS proceedings and a journal special issue (IEEE TKDE pending) is forthcoming. PRESS RELEASES: http://www.targetwire.com/vpo/rm/ -------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers Collocated with the 11th International Business Rules Forum, the 2008 International Symposium on Rule Interchange and Applications (RuleML-2008) is the second symposium (after last year's highly successful RuleML-2007 - http://2007.ruleml.org/) devoted to work on practical distributed rule technologies and rule-based applications which need language standards for rules operating in the context of, e.g., the Semantic Web, Intelligent Multi- Agent Systems, Event-Driven Architectures and Service-Oriented Computing Applications. The RuleML symposium is a new kind of event where the Web Rules and Logic community joins the established, practically oriented Forum of the Business Rules community (http://www.businessrulesforum.com) to help cross- fertilizing between Web and Business Logic technology. The goal of RuleML-2008 is to bring together rule system providers, representatives of, and participants in, rule standardization efforts (e.g., SBVR, RuleML, RIF, PRR, CL) and open source rules communities (e.g., jBoss Rules, CLIPS/Jess, Prova, OO jDrew, Mandarax, XSB, XQuery), practitioners and technical experts, developers, users, and researchers. They will be offered an exciting venue to exchange new ideas, practical developments and experiences on issues pertinent to the interchange and application of rules in open distributed environments such as the Web. The Symposium gives emphasis on practical issues such as technical contributions and show case demonstrations of effective, practical, deployable rule-based technologies, rule interchange formats and applications as well as discussions of lessons learned that have to be taken into account when employing rule-based technologies in distributed, (partially) open, heterogeneous environments. We also welcome groundwork that helps to build an effective, practical, and deployable rule standard, improve rule technology, provide better understanding of the integration and interchange of rules, and make the current generation of rule engines and rule technology more usable for advanced Web and Service Oriented Architectures. More details in: http://2008.ruleml.org/cfp.pdf -------------------------------------------------------------------- RuleML-2008 Challenge The RuleML-2008 Challenge is one of the highlights of RuleML-2008. It addresses the system demonstration for practical use of rule technologies in distributed and/or Web-based environments. The focus of the challenge is on rule technologies (including rule languages and engines), interoperation and interchange. The challenge offers participants the chance to demonstrate their commercial and open source tools, use cases, and applications. Prizes will be awarded to the two best applications. All accepted demos will be presented in a special Challenge Session.

OGF23 minutes and request for comments
by Satoshi Itoh 02 Sep '08

02 Sep '08

Hi All, I am sending the minutes of EGR-RG session in OGF23. As described in the minutes, EGR-RG asks all of you to add your use case and requirement to the excel file and the word file. EGR-RG will accept comment and input during June - July. (At the OGF23, we proposed as June - August, but we would like to shorter the period.) Those opinions will be summarized before OGF24. Then, we would like to submit the document to the editor before OGF24 if possible. (At the OGF23, we proposed to submit the document just after OGF24, but we would like to make it faster.) Unfortunately, the gridforge system is not well, so we can not upload files nor refer them. Thus I attached files in this mail. 1) requirement-guideline-20080606.doc draft version of informational document it includes comment from SURA. 2) application_of_guideline_20080606.xls worksheet for the document We added column "layer" according to the discussion in OGF23. 3) EGR-RG_OGF23_minutes.doc The minutes of EGR-RG session If you have any questions, please let us know. We are waiting for your comments ! Thanks, Satoshi (I), Secretary of EGR-RG --- National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, Information Technology Research Institute, 1-18-13 Sotokanda, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, 101-0021, Japan tel: (81) 3-5298-4724 fax: (81) 3-5298-4502 Satoshi Itoh (satoshi.itoh(a)aist.go.jp)
