[rules-users] W3C RIF in Last Call

[Adrian Paschke]

Dear All,

The W3C Rule Interchange Format (RIF) Working Group recently published 
"Last Call" drafts of two of its specifications:


  - "RIF Basic Logic Dialect" (BLD) specifies an XML format for rules

at an intermediate expressive power.  The language is roughly

Horn rules with URIs, datatypes, and builtins.  This goes beyond

datalog (it has function terms), it but does not provide any kind

of negation.   (Various forms of negation, and other features,

are expected to be provided by dialects which extend BLD, to be

published in the future.)

http://www.w3.org/TR/rif-bld/



  - "RIF RDF and OWL Compatibility" explains and specifies how RIF

rulesets are to be used in combination with RDF and OWL.

http://www.w3.org/TR/rif-rdf-owl/



LAST CALL IS THE KEY TIME FOR EXTERNAL REVIEW.  The designs are 
essentially complete (the Working Group believes the design work is 
done), but things can still be changed in response to external input.


Additionally, input on editorial issues (especially pointing out

ambiguities) is always welcome.



In addition to these Last Call documents, the Working Group has 
published four other drafts:




  - RIF Production Rule Dialect (PRD) specifies an XML format for the

exchange of production rules.  PRD and BLD are expected to be the

basis of the two main dialect-branches, with RIF Core being the

things in common between the two.  (We have not yet published a

document expressing that intersection, but it can be inferred

from the PRD and BLD specifications.)  This is a first public

working draft.  This is an exellent time to comment on the

general direction of the language, and give feedback on all the

issues mentioned as Editor's Notes in the document.

http://www.w3.org/TR/rif-prd/



  - RIF Framework for Logic Dialects (FLD) and RIF Datatypes and

Builtins (DTB) provide common elements for specific dialects to

use.

http://www.w3.org/TR/rif-fld/

http://www.w3.org/TR/rif-dtb/



  - RIF Uses Cases and Requirements (UCR), last published about two

years ago, has been simplified and now has examples written in

the PRD and BLD presentation syntaxes.  The examples can be

hidden or revealed using Javascript controls.

http://www.w3.org/TR/rif-ucr/



Feedback on all these documents should be sent to:



 [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>



All comments (and responses to them) will be available at the public

archive:

 http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rif-comments/



Please comment by 19 September so we have time to address your comments 
in incorporate any changes into our next round of publications.




Best,

Adrian Paschke

We invite you to attend the 2008 International RuleML Symposium on Rule

Interchange and Applications (RuleML-2008) to be held during October 30-31,

2008 in Orlando, Florida. As this is a relatively new event, being only its

2nd year, participants can make a difference about shaping the future

direction and structure of the field, including about rule standards

supporting their own approaches and about their own possible involvement in

the organization of future events.



Co-located with the 11th International Business Rules Forum, RuleML-2008

provides a unique opportunity to exchange your ideas about practical

distributed rule technologies and rule-based applications. Meet the Web
rules

experts and discuss with them status and progress of the rules technology.

Discuss your recent work with colleagues in the informal atmosphere of the

symposium. You should not miss the high-quality technical presentations, the

innovative applications presented in detail and the state of the art reports

of the plenary speakers. RuleML-2008 is a must for all people active in
rules

technologies or entering the field.



The scope of RuleML-2008 covers all topics relevant to rule-based

technologies, rule interchange formats and rule-based 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.





===

Technical Program

===



The symposium will feature a strong, single-track technical program

consisting of:



* Keynote speakers:

 o Michael Kifer (State University of New York at Stony Brook), on "Rule

   Interchange Format: Not Just Syntax".

   Joint keynote between RuleML-2008 and RR2008.

 o David Luckham (Stanford University, USA) on "The Power of Events: An

   Introduction to Complex Event Processing in Distributed Enterprise

   Systems".

 o Paul Haley (Haley Systems, Inc) on "Event and Process Semantics will

   Rule".

 o Benjamin Grosof (Vulcan, Inc.) on the SILK KRR system of the

   HALO project.

* Joint Lunch Panel held in conjunction with the co-located Business Rules

 Forum on "Rules on the Web".

* Lightning talks/Highlight talks

* A RuleML-2008 Challenge with prizes to demonstrate tools, use cases, and

 applications.

* Industry, demo and scientific research & development papers and

 presentations advancing and assessing the state of the art in event and

 rule-based systems selected in a peer-reviewed fashion by an

 international program committee.

* Papers will be published as a Springer LNCS proceedings. A related journal

 special issue (IEEE TKDE) on "Rule Representation, Interchange and

 Reasoning in Distributed, Heterogeneous Environments", open to all, has

 been scheduled.

* Social events to promote networking among the symposium delegates in an

 informal setting.

[rules-users] AAAI Spring Symposium on Intelligent EventProcessing 2009

[Adrian Paschke]

[ our apologies should you receive this message more than one time ]

   AAAI Spring Symposium on Intelligent Event Processing

AAAI Spring Symposium Wednesday, March 23-25, 2009 at Stanford University

  http://icep-aaai08.fzi.de/


=

Event-based systems are now gaining increasing momentum as witnessed by
current efforts in areas including event-driven architectures, business
process management and modeling, Grid computing, Web services notifications,
and message-oriented middleware. They become ever important in various
application domains, ranging from traditional business applications, like
supply-chain management, to the entertainment industry, like on-line gaming
applications.

However, the current status of development is just the tip of the iceberg
compared with the impact that event processing could achieve, as already
reported by market research companies. Indeed, existing approaches are
dealing primarily with the syntactical (but very scalable) processing of
low-level signals and primitive actions, which usually goes with an
inadequate treatment of the notions of time, context or concurrency (for
example, synchronization). For example, some of the current event processing
products are descendents of the active database research that misses
efficient (formal) handling of termination, priority ordering, and
confluence in rule bases.

AI and especially symbolic (for example, logic-based) approaches provide
native background for the (formal) representation of the above mentioned
missing concepts, enabling evolution from event processing systems into
intelligent reactive systems. The work done in temporal logic, spatial
reasoning, knowledge representation, ontologies, and so on enables more
declarative representation of events and actions and their semantic
processing. Contextual reasoning can support complex event prediction.
Transactional logic can be used for ensuring the consistency between highly
dependent processes in a formal way.

On the other side, the heterogeneous and highly distributed nature of
event-processing systems, especially on the web, provides new challenges for
AI and logics, like the contextualized reasoning over large stream data,
scalable mapping of complex structures, or distributed approximate
reasoning, to name but a few.


Possible symposium topics comprise, but are not limited to:
---

Modeling

*   Conceptual modeling in event-driven processing
*   Modeling context in event-driven processing
*   Event processing languages
*   Business rules and event-driven processing
*   Editors for complex events

*   Modeling reactive systems using event-driven processing
*   Event stream processing
*   Event-driven architecture for Intelligent Event Processing

Discovery

*   Complex event patterns mining
*   Temporal aspects in event mining
*   Prediction of events
*   Discovery of similar event
*   Discovery of unknown events
*   Dealing with missing events

Reasoning/Processing

*   Complex event detection
*   The role of logic in event processing
*   Distributed reasoning for events
*   Reasoning with uncertain events
*   Reasoning under real-time constraints
*   Complexity in reasoning for Intelligent Event Processing


Advanced Applications

*   Distributed event processing as a basis for AI applications
*   Financial trading
*   Web / Internet of Things
*   Entertainment
*   Ubiquitous Computing/ Ambient Intelligence
*   Business Activity Monitoring

[Adrian Paschke]

[ our apologies should you receive this message more than one time ]

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

3rd Event-driven Business Process Management Workshop (3rd edBPM '09)

at CASCON 2009

November 3rd 2009, Toronto, Canada

https://www-927.ibm.com/ibm/cas/cascon/displayWorkshop?PublicView=true&Num=5
9


"Event-Driven Business Process Management" (EDBPM) refers to an enhancement
of traditional BPM through novel combinations of Service Oriented
Architectures (SOA), Event Driven Architectures (EDA), Software as a Service
(SaaS), Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) and the Processing of Complex
Events (CEP). BPM in turn, refers to a software platform which provides
companies and end-users the ability to model, manage and optimize business
processes.

This workshop introduces the state-of-art concepts underlying EDBPM
solutions, summarize standard best practices in event management, and
discusses the shortcomings, challenges and obstacles. Specifically, there
has been little understanding of service impact beyond event severity and
root-cause of business events. This brought attention to more sophisticated
correlation mechanisms and infrastructure to reason about dependency between
events and their sources. Also, we discuss the various methods of mapping
event incidents to customer SLA and KPI that are crucial for identifying any
escalating problems critical to the business.

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.

[Adrian Paschke]

CALL FOR PAPERS


   RuleML2011 at BRF
5th International Symposium on Linked Rules: Research-Based,
Industry-Focused


 Westin Diplomat, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, 3-5 November 2011
 http://2011.ruleml.org/america



FIRM Extended DEADLINE for paper submission: June 21


Following many requests for an extension of the RuleML at BRF deadline, the
Program committee has decided that 21st June 2011, will be the latest date
on which full papers can be submitted: Note that this deadline cannot be
further extended, since the PC needs to have the time for a good review
process.

Prior submission of abstracts is no longer required.


About RuleML 2011 at BRF
-

In 2011, two installments of the RuleML Symposium will take place. The first
one will be held in conjunction with IJCAI 2011 in Barcelona, Spain, in
July.

The second one will be co-located with the Business Rule Forum to be held in
early November in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, USA. The second instalment will
include the RuleML Challenge Award which, this year, is dedicated to Rules
and Ontologies.


Objectives
--

RuleML-2011 at BRF is a research-based, industry-focused symposium:
its main goal is to build a bridge between academia and industry in
the field of rules and semantic technology, and so to stimulate
the cooperation and interoperability between business and research,
by bringing together rule system providers,
participants in rule standardization efforts, open source communities,
practitioners, and researchers. The concept of the symposium has also
advanced continuously in the face of extremely rapid progress in
practical rule and event processing technologies. As a result,
RuleML-2011 will feature hands-on demonstrations and challenges
alongside a wide range of thematic tracks. It will thus be an exciting
venue to exchange new ideas and share experiences
on all issues related to the engineering, management, integration,
interoperation, and interchange of rules in distributed enterprise
intranets and open environments alike.


Topics


As in the previous years, the Symposium will be organized in tracks:
specifically, the RuleML-2011 at BRF focus will be on the following areas:


*** Rules, Semantic Technology, and Cross-Industry Standards
*** Rules and Automated Reasoning
*** Rule-Based Distributed/Multi-Agent Systems
*** Rule Transformation and Extraction
*** Vocabularies, Ontologies, and Business rules
*** NIEM and Rules
*** Cloud Computing and Rules
*** Clinical Semantic and Rules
*** Fuzzy Rules and Uncertainty
*** Rules and Norms
*** Rule-Based Policies, Reputation and Trust
*** Rule-based Event Processing and Reaction Rules
*** General Topics

Submissions on general rule topics are welcome, such as:

  - Progress in rule language specification (in XML Schema, Relax NG, etc.)
  - Implemented tools for rule bases (e.g. XML and RDF rule validators)
  - Rule interchange and reasoning
  - Execution models, rule engines, and development environments
  - Graphical processing, modeling and rendering of rules
  - Rules and NLP
  - Rule-based applications
  - Usability and effectiveness of rule-based systems and languages

Case studies, experience reports, and industrial problem statements are
particularly encouraged.


RuleML-2011 Challenge

-

The RuleML-2011 Challenge is one of the highlights of RuleML-2011.
Prizes will be awarded to the two best applications, one for the
focus theme and one for the other categories.

[rules-users] CFP: 4th International Workshop on Semantic Web Applications and Tools for the Life Sciences (SWAT4LS 2011)

[Adrian Paschke]

Call for Papers
4th International Workshop on Semantic Web Applications and Tools for the
Life Sciences (SWAT4LS 2011)
http://www.swat4ls.org/2011/

Overview
Since 2008, SWAT4LS is a workshop that has provided a platform for the
presentation and discussion of the benefits and limits of applying web-based
information systems and semantic technologies in Biomedical Informatics and
Computational Biology. 
Growing steadily each year as Semantic Web applications become more
widespread, SWAT4LS has been in Edinburgh 2008, Amsterdam 2009, and Berlin
2010, with London planned for 2011. The last edition of SWAT4LS was held in
Berlin, on December 10th, 2010. It was preceded by two days of tutorials and
other associated events.
We are confident that the next edition of SWAT4LS will provide the same open
and stimulating environment that brought together researchers, both
developers and users, from the various fields of Biology, Bioinformatics and
Computer Science, to discuss goals, current limits and real experiences in
the use of Semantic Web technologies in Life Sciences.

Rationale
The web is a key medium for information publishing, and web-based
information systems play a key role in biomedical information exchange and
integration. At the same time, the variety and complexity of biomedical
information call for the adoption of semantic-based solutions. The Semantic
Web provides a set of technologies and standards that are key to support
semantic markup, ontology development, distributed information resources and
collaborative social environments. Altogether the adoption of the web-based
semantic-enabled technologies in the Life Sciences has potential impact on
the future of publishing, biological research and medecine. This workshop
will provide a venue to present and discuss benefits and limits of the
adoption of these technologies and tools in biomedical informatics and
computational biology. It will showcase experiences, information resources,
tools development and applications. It will bring together researchers, both
developers and users, from the various fields of Biology, Bioinformatics and
Computer Science, to discuss goals, current limits and some real use cases
for Semantic Web technologies in Life Sciences. 

Topics
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: 
. Standards, Technologies, Tools for the Semantic Web
o Semantic Web standards and new proposals (e.g.: RDF, OWL, SKOS, SPIN,
RuleML)
o Tools for ontology management, editing and versioning
o RDF stores, Reasoners, query and visualization systems
o Formal approaches to large biomedical knowledge bases
o Tools for semantic-enabled web publication
o Alternative approaches to integrate semantic representations and web based
solutions
. Systems for a Semantic Web for Bioinformatics
o Biomedical knowledge bases on the Semantic Web
o Semantic biomedical Web Services
o Semantics aware Biological Data Integration Systems
o Semantic-enabled biomedical information systems and solutions
o Linked Data for biomedical research
. Existing and prospective applications of the Semantic Web for
Bioinformatics
o Semantic Wikis
o Semantic collaborative research environments
o Semantic crowdsourcing and collective intelligence
o Alternative approaches to biomedical metadata generation and management
o Case studies, use cases, and scenarios

Type of contributions
The following possible contributions are sought: 
. Research papers
. Position papers
. Posters
. Software demos

Proceedings
All accepted communications will be published in the proceedings (under
definition, proceedings of SWAT4LS have appeared in the past in CEUR
proceedings and Nature precedings). 

Special issue
Authors of accepted contributions to the upcoming edition of SWAT4LS will be
invited to submit an extended and revised version of their contributions for
a special issue of an internation peer-reviewed scientific journal (under
definition, special issues of SWAT4LS have appeared in the past in BMC
Bioinformatics and in the BMC Journal of Biomedical Semantics.) 

Deadlines

Overview and Aim

==

 

The RuleML2011@BRF Challenge is one of the highlights at RuleML2011@BRF 

Conference.The RuleML2011@BRF Challenge is dedicated to practical
experiences 

with rule-oriented applications. In particular, 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 of

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.

 

 

Key themes of the RuleML2011@BRF Challenge include the following:

* Demos related to the RuleML2011@BRF Track Topics

* Extensions and implementations of rule standards: W3C RIF, RuleML, 

   SBVR, ...

* Editing environments and IDEs for Web rules

* Benchmarks and comparison results for rule engines

* Distributed rule bases and rule services

* Reports on industrial experience about rule systems

 

A dedicated track of RuleML2011@BRF Challenge will be focused on the theme:

 

**Combining Rules, Objects, and Ontologies: Implementations and
Applications**

- Loose/tight integrations of rules and knowledge bases

- Knowledge Modelling and Reasoning

- Real cases and practical experiences

 

Ideally, demos submitted to the Challenge track should tackle knowledge-rich

domain problems. The proposed solution should address such problem using a

combination of rule-based modelling and semantic knowledge-based modelling.

Solutions ranging from loosely coupled hybrid systems (i.e. where different

frameworks are put together), to unified homogeneous architectures (i.e.
where

a unified model / semantics, within a single framework, is proposed) will be

of great interest for the special track.

 

Prizes will be awarded to the two best applications from the main focus
theme

and for the all categories. All accepted demos will be presented in a
special

Challenge Session.

 

Submission

==

 

The submission is composed of two parts:

- open-source or commercial demo

- demo papers describing research, implementation, and technical details of

   your submission.

 

Submissions to the Rules Challenge 2011 consist of a demo paper of 4-8
pages,

describing the demo show case, and a link to the demo/show case, e.g. a

project site, an online demonstration, a presentation about the

Overview

==

 

Since 2008, SWAT4LS is a workshop that has provided a platform for the
presentation and discussion of the benefits and limits of applying web-based
information systems and semantic technologies in Biomedical Informatics and
Computational Biology.

 

Growing steadily each year as Semantic Web applications become more
widespread, SWAT4LS has been in Edinburgh 2008, Amsterdam 2009, and Berlin
2010, with London planned for 2011. The last edition of SWAT4LS was held in
Berlin, on December 10th, 2010 with more than 100 attendees. It was preceded
by two days of tutorials and other associated events.

 

We are confident that the next edition of SWAT4LS will provide the same open
and stimulating environment that continues to bring together researchers,
both developers and users, from domains spanning health care, life sciences,
clinical research and translational medicine, to discuss goals, current
limits and real experiences in the use of Semantic Web technologies in Life
Sciences.

 

Rationale

==

 

The Web is a key medium for information publishing, and Web-based
information systems play a key role in biomedical information exchange and
integration. At the same time, the variety and complexity of biomedical
information call for the adoption of semantic-based solutions. The Semantic
Web provides a set of technologies and standards that are key to supporting
semantic markup, ontology development, distributed information resources and
collaborative social environments. Altogether the adoption of the Web-based
semantic-enabled technologies in the Life Sciences has a potential impact on
the future of publishing, scientific communication, and biomedical research.
This workshop will provide a venue to present and discuss benefits and
limits of the adoption of these technologies and tools in biomedical
informatics and computational biology. It will serve as a showcase for
experiences, information resources, tools development and applications.

 

Topics

[rules-users] 2nd CFP Semantic Web Applications and Tools for the Life Sciences (SWAT4LS 2012)

[Adrian Paschke]

2nd Call for Papers  - Submission Deadline in 3 Weeks

5th International Workshop on Semantic Web Applications and Tools for the Life 
Sciences (SWAT4LS 2012)
http://www.swat4ls.org/workshops/paris2012

 NEWS 
Submission system has been opened - submission deadline in 3 weeks!
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=swat4ls2012

First program structure, keynotes & tutorials announced 
http://www.swat4ls.org/workshops/paris2012/scientific-programme/


Overview

Since 2008, SWAT4LS is a workshop that has provided a platform for the
presentation and discussion of the benefits and limits of applying web-based
information systems and semantic technologies in the domains of health care
and life sciences.
SWAT4LS has been in Edinburgh (2008), Amsterdam (2009), Berlin (2010) and
London (2011).
Growing steadily each year as Semantic Web applications have become more
widespread, the program of SWAT4LS has grown to include associated events.
The next edition of SWAT4LS will be held in Paris, on November 30th 2012,
and it will be preceded by two days of tutorials and hackathons.

We are confident that the next edition of SWAT4LS will provide the same open
and stimulating environment that brought together researchers, developers,
and users, from various fields including biomedical informatics, systems
biology, computational biology, drug discovery, bioinformatics and
biocomputing, to discuss goals, current limits and real experiences in the
use of Semantic Web technologies in Life Sciences.


Rationale

The web is a key medium for information publishing, and web-based
information systems play a key role in biomedical information exchange and
integration. At the same time, the variety and complexity of biomedical
information call for the adoption of semantic-based solutions.
The Semantic Web provides a set of technologies and standards that are key
to support semantic markup, ontology development, distributed information
resources and collaborative social environments.
Altogether the adoption of the web-based semantic-enabled technologies in
the Life Sciences has potential impact on the future of publishing,
biological research and medicine. This workshop will provide a venue to
present and discuss benefits and limits of the adoption of these
technologies and tools in biomedical informatics and computational biology.
It will showcase experiences, information resources, tools development and
applications. It will bring together researchers, both developers and users,
from the various fields of Biology, Bioinformatics and Computer Science, to
discuss goals, current limits and some real use cases for Semantic Web
technologies in Life Sciences.

Call for Papers

RuleML 2013: 7th International Web Rule Symposium

Seattle Metropolitan Area, USA, July 11-13, 2013

http://2013.ruleml.org

The annual International Web Rule Symposium (RuleML) is an international 
conference on research, applications, languages and standards for rule 
technologies. RuleML is the leading conference for building bridges between 
academia and industry in the field of rules and its applications, especially as 
part of the semantic technology stack. It is devoted to rule-based programming 
and rule-based systems including production rules systems, logic programming 
rule engines, and business rules engines/business rules management systems; 
Semantic Web rule languages and rule standards (e.g., RuleML, SWRL, RIF, PRR, 
SBVR); Legal RuleML; rule-based event processing languages (EPLs) and 
technologies; hybrid rule-based methods; and research on inference rules, 
transformation rules, decision rules, production rules, and ECA rules.

The 7th International Symposium on Rules and the Web (RuleML 2013) will be held 
on July 11-13, 2013 just prior to the AAAI conference in the Seattle 
Metropolitan Area, Washington. Selected papers will be published in book form 
in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series.

Objectives
