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 (will be published as
CEURS proceedings www.CEUR-WS.org) along with the online publication of your
demo in the highly visible growing Rules Challenge pool
(http://ruleml-challenge.cs.nccu.edu.tw). 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:

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
Rules event. RuleML-2009 is devoted to practical distributed rule
technologies and rule-based applications. 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, and is now in the top 100
venues for scientific impact factor in CiteseerX
(http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/stats/venues).
