RuleML2009 is the Third International Conference Symposium on Rule Interchange and Applications. It is held from November 5 2009 to November 9 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.

Overview and Aim

The International Symposium on Rules, Applications and Interoperability hasevolved from an annual series of international workshops since 2002,international conferences in 2005 and 2006, and international symposia since2007. This year, the 3rd International Symposium on Rules, Applications andInteroperability (RuleML-2009) takes place in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA,collocated with the 12th Business Rules Forum, the world's largest BusinessRules event. RuleML-2009 is devoted to practical distributed rule technologiesand rule-based applications which need language standards for rules(inter)operating in, e.g., the Semantic Web, Intelligent Multi-Agent Systems,Event-Driven Architectures, and Service-Oriented Applications.

The main goal of RuleML-2009 is to stimulate the cooperation andinteroperability between business and research, by bringing together rulesystem providers, participants in rule standardization efforts, open sourcecommunities, practitioners, and researchers. The concept of the symposium hasalso advanced continuously in the face of extremely rapid progress inpractical rule and event processing technologies. As a result, RuleML-2009will feature hands-on demonstrations and challenges alongside a wide range ofthematic tracks, thus and will be an exciting venue to exchange new ideas andexperiences on all issues related to the engineering, management, integration,interoperation and interchange of rules in open distributed environments suchas the Web.

Conference Theme

This year, we particularly welcome submissions that address applications ofWeb rule technologies for business and information systems. We invite you toshare your ideas, results, and experiences: as an industry practitioner, rulesystem provider, technical expert and developer, rule user or researcher,exploring foundations, developing systems and applications, or usingrule-based systems. We invite high-quality submissions related to (but notlimited to) one or more of the following track topics:

  • Rule Transformation and Extraction
    • Transformation and extraction with rule standards, such as SBVR, RIF and OCL
    • Extraction of rules from code
    • Transformation and extraction in the context of frameworks such as KDM (Knowledge Discovery meta-model)
    • Extraction of rules from natural language
    • Transformation or rules from one dialect into another
  • Rules and Uncertainty
    • Languages for the formalization of uncertainty rules
    • Probabilistic, fuzzy and other rule frameworks for reasoning with uncertain or incomplete information
    • Handling inconsistent or disparate rules using uncertainty
    • Uncertainty extensions of event processing rules, business rules, reactive rules, causal rules, derivation rules, association rules, or transformation rules
  • Rules and Norms
    • Methodologies for modeling regulations using both ontologies and rules
    • Defeasibility: modeling rule exceptions and priority relations among rule
    • The relationship between rules and legal argumentation schemes
    • Rule language requirements for the "isomorphic" modeling of legislation
    • Rule based inference mechanism for legal reasoning
    • E-contracting and automated negotiations with Rule-based declarative strategies
  • Rule-based Game AI
    • Rule-based movement, decision making, strategies, behavior design
    • Rule-based environmental programming, virtual reality
    • Rules for multi-agent/character games
    • Rules for serious games
    • Rule-based agent design
  • Rule-based Event Processing and Reaction Rules
    • Reaction rule languages and engines (production rules, ECA rules, logic event action formalisms, vocabularies/ontologies)
    • State management approaches and frameworks
    • Concurrency control and scalability
    • Event and action definition, detection, consumption, termination, lifecycle management
    • Dynamic Rule-based workflows and intelligent event processing (Rule-based CEP)
    • Non-functional requirements, use of annotations, metadata to capture those
    • Design time and execution time aspects of Rule-based (Semantic) Business Processes Modeling and Management
    • Practical and business aspects of Rule-based (Semantic) Business Process Management (business scenarios, case studies, use cases etc.)
  • Rules and Cross Industry Standards
    • Rules in Current Industry Standards, including:
      • XBRL: Extensible Business Reporting Language
      • MISMO: Mortgage Industry Standards Maintenance Org
      • FIXatdl: FIX Algorithmic Trading Definition Language
      • FpML: Financial products Markup Language
      • HL7: Health Level 7
      • Acord: Association for Cooperative Operations Research and Development (Insurance Industry)
    • Rules for Governance, Risk, & Compliance (GRC), e.g., rules for internal audit, SOX compliance, enterprise risk management (ERM), operational risk, etc
    • Rules and Corporate Actions
  • General Rule Topics
    • Rules and ontologies
    • Execution models, rule engines, and environments
    • From rules to FOL to modal logics
    • Rule-based reasoning with non-monotonic negation, modalities, deontic, temporal, priority, scoped or other rule qualification
    • Rule-based default reasoning with default logic, defeasible logic, and answer set programming
    • Graphical processing, modelling and rendering of rules
    • Rules in Semantic Web Technologies
    • Miscellaneous rule topics

3rd Int. Rule Challenge

The Third Int. Rule Challenge is one of the highlights of RuleML-2009. Rules areused in interesting and practically relevant ways to, e.g., derive usefulinformation, transform knowledge, provide decision support and provideautomated rule-based monitoring, enforcement, validation or management of thebehavioural logic of the application. The Challenge offers participants thechance to demonstrate their commercial and open source tools, use cases, andapplications. Submissions are solicited in these categories:

  • Benchmarks (test cases, suites) with evaluations of (their own, other) rule engines and/or rule translators, possibly drawing on our growing pool at http://ruleml-challenge.cs.nccu.edu.tw
  • Case studies (use cases) implemented via engines/translators employing rule standards such as CLIPS, JESS, ISO PROLOG, CL, RuleML, and RIF

We welcome all demos about tools and applications using rules such as:

  • Derivation rules, including query and integrity rules
  • ECA rules, including production rules, reaction rules, and rule-based CEP languages

Authors of demo are also invited to submit a Challenge demo paper forpublications in the conference proceedings, see the submission section belowfor submission details. Prizes will be awarded to the two best applications from each category. Allaccepted demos will be presented in a special Challenge Session. A submissionto the RuleML Challenge has to meet the requirement that declarative rulesexplicitly play a central role in the application. Basically this means that:Rules are explicitly represented in a declarative format and they aredecoupled from the application (rather than being compiled or hard-coded intothe application logic). The demo should preferably (but not necessarily) beembedded into a web-based or distributed environment so that there will be aneed for features related to the RuleML conference topics, as listed in thecall for papers.
