**********************************************

co-located with:

- 9th International Conference on Web Reasoning and Rule Systems (RR
2015),

Berlin, Germany, August 4-6, 2015

http://www.rr-conference.org/RR2015

- 9th International Web Rule Symposium (RuleML 2015),

The purpose of the Reasoning Web Summer School is to disseminate

recent advances on reasoning techniques which are of particular

interest to Semantic Web and Linked Data 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 2015, the theme of the school is:

"Web Logic 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 RR2015, RuleML 2015 and
CADE-25,

hence, there will be a great opportunity for students to also attend

a major event in the area after the school. In addition, RR and
RuleML

will also include a Doctoral Consortium and students of RW are

particularly encouraged to also apply to the Doctoral consortium of
RR

and RuleML - joint applications are explicitly encouraged.
