Dear Colleagues,

the (extended) hard deadline for RuleML-2009 (http://2009.ruleml.org
) paper submissions is approaching fast (next Sunday, June, 28th).

Please find below the latest news about RuleML-2009. You will see that we are
again going to build an interesting program addressing reaction rules /
rule-based CEP and semantic CEP with a special track on rule-based Event
Processing and Reaction Rules and a keynote on CEP by Paul Vincent (CTO Tibco
CEP, EPTS RA co-chair).

CEP has been a topic of the RuleML conferences since the very beginning. Here
some historical pointers/references (http://2009.ruleml.org/past) which might be
of interest to the community:

- Keynote by Opher Etzion “Towards an Event-Driven Architecture: An
infrastructure for event processing” on RuleML-2005
- Special workshop on Reaction Rules and Event Processing at RuleML-2006
- Session on Reaction Rules and Rule Applications at RuleML-2007
- Keynote by David Luckham on “The Power of Events: An Introduction to Complex
Event Processing in Distributed Enterprise Systems” at RuleML-2008
- Keynote by Paul Haley on “Event and Process Semantics will Rule” at
RuleML-2008
… and many interesting papers about reaction rules / rule-based CEP in the
conference proceedings of the past years (Springer LNCS and IEEE proceedings),
as well as demos in the RuleML Challenge.

Also, worth mentioning is that the RuleML symposium, which evolved from a series
of first yearly workshops, then conferences, and finally the symposium series,
managed to be under top 100 venues for impact factor in CiteSeerX:

and the currently running IEEE TKDE special issue, we are currently negotiating
another high impact journal special issue.

Best,
