GENERAL INFORMATION

The RuleML+RR Doctoral Consortium 2022 is an initiative of the RuleML+RR 
community to attract and promote student research in Artificial 
Intelligence, especially research on rule-based formalisms and 
reasoning. It offers students close contact with leading experts in the 
field, as well as the opportunity to present and discuss their ideas in 
a dynamic and friendly setting. This DC is organized as part of 
Declarative AI 2022: Rules, Reasoning, Decisions, and Explanations 
(Berlin, 26-30 September 2022).

We invite PhD students at an early or intermediate stage of their PhD 
studies as well as exceptional Master’s students who are interested in 
pursuing a PhD to submit papers describing their research on any of the 
topics of interest to RuleML+RR 2022.

SUBMISSION

RuleML+RR DC papers are limited to 8 pages written in English following 
the CEUR-WS.org style template CEURART available at 
http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-XXX/CEURART.zip and submitted electronically in 
PDF format jointly with a maximum 2 pages CV (as one PDF file). Please 
submit your paper and the above required documents via:

     https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=declarativeai22

via the RuleML+RR Doctoral Consortium 2022 track. If you do not have an 
EasyChair account, please sign up at https://easychair.org.

Since Easychair only accepts one file for the submission, applicants can 
put all the above required documents in one PDF file. If the paper gets 
accepted, then the applicant will only submit the paper for publication 
in the proceedings.

The submission should cover the following aspects:
  - A clear formulation of the research question and the motivation.
  - An identification of the significant problem in the field of research.
  - An outline of the current knowledge of the problem domain, as well 
as the state of existing solutions.
  - A presentation of any preliminary ideas, the proposed approach and 
the results achieved so far.
  - A sketch of the applied research methodology and its positioning in 
the field.
  - A description of the student project’s contribution to the problem 
solution.
  - A discussion of how the suggested solution is different, new, or 
better as compared to existing approaches to the problem.
  - A research plan and the potential achievements.
  - The accepted DC papers will be presented to an interested audience 
and will be discussed with a panel of senior researchers from academia 
and the industry. Students will present their work through brief oral 
presentations during a dedicated session of RuleML+RR.


PUBLICATION

Accepted papers will be published online as part of http://ceur-ws.org 
Proceedings, which are broadly indexed, e.g., by SCOPUS and listed in 
standard bibliographic databases such as DBLP.
