This leading international joint conference in the field of rule-based reasoning calls for high-quality papers related to theoretical advances, novel technologies, and innovative applications concerning knowledge representation and reasoning with rules. The event will take place on 12-15 July 2017 in London.
Stemming from the synergy between the well-known high-impact RuleML and RR events, one of the main goals of this conference is to build bridges between academia and industry.
RuleML+RR 2017 aims to bring together rigorous researchers and inventive practitioners, interested in the foundations and applications of rules and reasoning in academia, industry, engineering, business, finance, healthcare and other application areas. It will provide a forum for stimulating cooperation and cross-fertilization between the many different communities focused on the research, development and applications of rule-based systems.
In addition to regular submissions, RuleML+RR 2017 will host the 11th International Rule Challenge, a Doctoral Consortium, an Industry Track, and the 13th Reasoning Web Summer School. Please note that separate submission guidelines apply for these additional events; they will be made available on a later date at the conference official web site.

- Production rules systems
- Logic programming engines and applications
- Business rules engines and management systems

Submissions
Papers must be original contributions written in English and must be submitted online including:
- Full Paper (15 pages in the proceedings)
- Short Paper (8 pages in the proceedings)
Please upload all submissions in LNCS format. To ensure high quality, submitted papers will be carefully peer-reviewed by at least 3 PC members based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of exposition. They must not substantially overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference / workshop with formal proceedings.
The accepted papers will be published in book form in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. Short papers may contain 1 extra page (max.) for which there is a charge of US$200. Long papers are allowed 2 extra pages (max.), with a charge of US$200 for EACH extra page.
Student Travel Support
Some financial support will be available to enable student authors to travel to the conference. These will be awarded on a case-by-case basis. Proof of studentship will be required at time of registration.
11th International Rule Challenge
The RuleML+RR 2017 Challenge is one of the highlights of the conference, and seeks to provide competition among innovative rule-oriented applications, aimed at both the research and industrial side. Submissions may present demos related to the RR+RuleML 2017 track topics (see below), supply benchmarks and comparison results for rule engines, illustrate rule- and model-driven engineering, report on industrial experience, present real cases and practical experiences, and realize mobile deployment of rule-based reasoning.
Doctoral Consortium
We welcome submissions from PhD students whose research activity is closely related to rule and reasoning systems. The Doctoral Consortium is an excellent opportunity for students to interact with leading experts in the field, and to present and discuss their ideas in a dynamic and friendly setting.
Industry Track
The Industry Track targets businesses and the private sector interested in sharing, exploring, and learning about the use of rule technologies for solving real-life business problems, for instance in the field of logistics, planning, domotics, healthcare, big data and high- scalability reasoning, and financial applications including high-frequency trading.
13th Reasoning Web Summer School (RW 2017)
The purpose of the Reasoning Web Summer School is to disseminate recent advances on reasoning techniques which are of particular interest to Semantic Web, Linked Data, Ontologies, Rules, Logic, and Knowledge Graph applications. It is primarily intended for postgraduate (PhD or MSc) students, postdoctoral researchers, young researchers, and senior researchers wishing to learn about Reasoning on the Semantic Web and related issues.
