RuleML+RR 2020

RuleML+RR 2020 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 provides a forum for stimulating cooperation and cross-fertilization between the many different communities focused on the research, development and applications of rule-based systems.

The theme of the 2020 edition is: Explainable algorithmic decision-making

A flyer briefly introducing the conference is available at: http://bit.ly/RuleMLFlyer.

The proceedings of the conference is published with Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science Series and partnership with Cambridge University Press journal "Theory and Practice of Logical Programming". The conference can be looked up in the widely recognized CORE Rank under the acronym RuleML, used before its merger with the RR conference.

The conference is now over.
