The International Conference on Web Reasoning and Rule Systems (RR) is a major forum for discussion and dissemination of new results concerningWeb 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), Chantilly, Virginia, USA (2009), and Bressanone/Brixen, Italy (2010) 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 Web

Reasoning and Rules researchers from all over the world.
