Aberdeen, UK, September 9-11, 2016
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 and Knowledge Graph applications. It is primarily
intended for postgraduate (PhD or MSc) students, postdocs, young
researchers, and senior researchers wishing to learn about Reasoning on the
Semantic Web and related issues. In 2016, the theme of the school is:
"Query Rules"
As in the previous years, lectures in the summer school will be given by a
distinguished group of expert lecturers. Apart from their lectures, most
lecturers will also be present for the duration of the school to interact
and establish contacts with the students.
The summer school is co-located with RR2016, hence, there will be a great
opportunity for students to also attend a major event in the area after the
school. In addition, RR will also include a Doctoral Consortium and
students of RW are particularly encouraged to also apply to the Doctoral
consortium of RR - joint applications are explicitly encouraged.
