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 2013 is associated with a number of interesting events:

- 9th Reasoning Web Summer School
Mannheim, Germany, July 30 - August 2, 2013
http://rw2013.uni-mannheim.de/

- 26th International Workshop on Description Logics (DL 2013)
Ulm, Germany, July 23-26, 2013
http://www.uni-ulm.de/en/in/dl2013.html

- 2nd OWL Reasoner Evaluation Workshop (ORE 2013)
Ulm, Germany, July 22, 2013
http://ore2013.cs.manchester.ac.uk/

The Reasoning Web Summer School is a great opportunity particularly
for young researchers to combine with attendance of the conference.
Submissions by summer school participants are particularly encouraged.


== Topics ==

RR welcomes original research from all areas of Web Reasoning.
Topics of particular interest are:

- Semantic Web, Rule and Ontology Languages, and related logics
- Reasoning, Querying, Searching and Optimization
- Incompleteness, Inconsistency and Uncertainty
- Non-monotonic, Commonsense, and Closed-World Reasoning for the Web
- Dynamic information, Stream Reasoning and Complex Event Processing
- Decision Making, Planning, and Intelligent Agents
- Reasoning, Machine Learning, Knowledge Extraction and
IR Technologies
- Large-scale data management and reasoning on the Web of Data
- Data Integration, Dataspaces and Ontology-Based Data Access
- Non-Standard Reasoning
- Algorithms for distributed, parallelized, and scalable reasoning
- System Descriptions and Experimentation
- Application and Experience Papers


== Doctoral Consortium ==

RR 2013 will also host a doctoral consortium, which will provide
doctoral students in Web Reasoning and related areas with the unique
opportunity to present and discuss their research directions, being
involved into state-of-the-art research discussion and being supported
in establishing fruitful collaborations with prominent researchers and
pioneers in the field of Web Reasoning and Rules and related areas.


== Submissions ==

The conference proceedings will be published by Springer within the
Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series (to be
confirmed). Submissions must be prepared in Springer's LaTeX style
llncs (http://www.springer.com/comp/lncs/Authors.html).

There are two submission formats:

- Full papers (up to 15 pages)
Original research works in the above areas

- Technical Communications (up to 6 pages)
Results and ideas of interest to the RR audience, including reports
about recent own publications, position papers, system descriptions
and application descriptions (accompanying a demo), and
presentations of preliminary results

All accepted works will be included in the proceedings, with
Technical Communications clearly marked as such. All full papers and
selected Technical Communications will be invited to give a talk at
the conference. All accepted works will have the opportunity to
present a poster and/or a system demo.

Submissions can be made in EasyChair:

http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=rr-2013


Submission instructions for the RR2013 Doctoral Consortium will be
communicated by means of a separate Call for Papers.
