************************************************************************************************************
We are happy to announce that the 21st edition of the Reasoning Web Summer School (RW 2025) will take place from September 25-28, 2025 in Istanbul, Turkey. RW 2025 is part of Declarative AI 2025, which also includes the 9th International Joint Conference on Rules and Reasoning
(RuleML+RR) and DecisionCAMP 2025, both held from September 22-24, 2025.
The purpose of the Reasoning Web Summer School is to disseminate recent advances in reasoning techniques and relevant topics related to ontologies, rules, logic, the semantic web, linked data, and knowledge graph applications. The summer school is primarily intended for individuals who are currently pursuing or have recently completed postgraduate degrees (PhD or MSc). However, the school also welcomes the participation of researchers at later career stages who wish to become acquainted with the area or deepen their understanding of recent developments. The RW school is a great venue for meeting like-minded researchers and exchanging with an engaging and approachable group of international lecturers!
*** Summer School Program ***
As in previous years, the summer school will feature 8 tutorials delivered by researchers who are experts in the area. Here are the confirmed speakers and topics for this year's school:
Camille Bourgaux: Inconsistency-Tolerant Semantics Based on Preferred Repairs
Esra Erdem, Aysu Bogatarkan, Muge Fidan: Human-Centered ASP
Applications: Representation and Reasoning
Patrick Koopmann: Explaining Reasoning Results for Description Logic Ontologies
Markus Krötzsch: Modern Datalog: Concepts, Methods, Applications
Antonella Poggi: From One-Level to Multi-Level Ontology-Based Data Access

**********************
The 19th International Rule Challenge is a standout feature of the
RuleML+RR conference, fostering friendly competition among innovative
rule-oriented tools, prototypes, and applications tailored to research, industry, and government.
Participants are invited to showcase their solutions to self-defined challenges, but also propose open challenges for the community to tackle.
Accordingly, submissions are welcome in two main categories:
* [Challenge Proposals] Papers outlining open challenges, interesting problems from academia or industry, or benchmarks relevant to the community. Submissions should include task descriptions, datasets, and evaluation criteria, highlighting opportunities for rule-based approaches to provide solutions.
* [Challenge Solutions] Papers presenting benchmarking or comparative analyses of rule engines, rule-based machine learning techniques, or case studies. Submissions may also cover industrial experiences, rule- and model-driven engineering, or innovative applications such as deployment of rule-based reasoning in geographically distributed, edge-to-cloud scenarios.
Key themes of the Rule Challenge include, but are not limited to the
following:
* Rule-based machine learning tools and techniques
* Large language models (LLMs) and rule learning
* Rule-based approaches in artificial intelligence
* Rule-based Complex Event Processing / Recognition (CEP/CER)
* Stream reasoning
* Business rules modelling
* Rule standardization for research, industry and government
* Graph-relational data and knowledge systems
* Higher-order logic and modal logic systems
* Rule and ontology combinations
* Distributed rule systems Multi-agent systems
* Ontology-Based Data Access (OBDA) systems
* Answer Set Programming (ASP) systems
* Constraint Logic Programming (CLP) systems
* (Controlled) Natural language interfaces
* Rules and model-driven engineering
The challenge seeks high quality, original papers, potentially referencing online material, and ranging between 8-15 pages. Accepted papers will be published as part of CEUR proceedings and should be in the CEUR-WS.org style template CEURART (1-column variant).
Please submit your paper via:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=rulemlrr2025

The RuleML+RR 9th Doctoral Consortium 2025 (DC) is an initiative of the
RuleML+RR community to attract and promote student research in
Artificial Intelligence, especially research on rule-based formalisms and reasoning in such formalisms. It offers students a close contact with leading experts in the field, as well as the opportunity to present and discuss their ideas in a dynamic and friendly setting.
We invite PhD students at an early or intermediate stage of their PhD studies, as well as exceptional master’s students who are interested in pursuing a PhD, to submit papers describing their research on any of the topics of RuleML+RR 2025.
RuleML+RR DC papers range between 8 and 15 pages, are written in
English, will be published as part of CEUR proceedings, and should follow the CEUR-WS.org style template CEURART (1-column variant). They are submitted electronically in PDF together with a maximum 2 page-long CV (the paper and the CV should be submitted together as one PDF file, but the CV is not counted within the 15 pages limit and is not published in the proceedings if the paper is accepted).
The submission should cover the following aspects:
* The identification of a significant problem in a research field relevant to RuleML+RR 2025.
* An outline of the current knowledge in the problem’s domain, as well as an overview of existing solutions.
* A clear formulation of the research question and motivation.
* A presentation of (possibly preliminary) ideas, the proposed approach, and the results achieved so far.
* A sketch of the applied research methodology and its positioning in the field.
* A description of the student’s contribution to the research.
