Call for Papers
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 2011 builds on the success of the four previous International Conferences on Web Reasoning and Rule Systems (see http://www.rr-conference.org), held in Innsbruck, Austria (2007), Karlsruhe, Germany (2008), and Chantilly, Virginia, USA(2009), Bressanone/ Brixen, Italy (2010), and which received enthusiastic support from the Web Reasoning community. In 2011, RR will continue the excellence of the new series and aim to attract the best WebReasoning and Rules researchers from all over the world.

Publication [logo Springer]
As in previous years, we plan to publish proceedings with Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. After the conference, selected papers from the conference will be invited to submit extended versions to a special issue of the (IOS Press) journal "Semantic Web - Interoperability, Usability, Applicability".
