RR 2015 Doctoral Consortium - CfP with extended deadline

[apologies for any cross-posting]

The RR 2015 Doctoral Consortium 
(http://www.csw.inf.fu-berlin.de/rr2015/dc.html) is an initiative of the 
9th International Conference On Web Reasoning And Rule Systems (RR 2015).
RR is a major forum for discussion and dissemination of new results 
concerning Web Reasoning and Rule Systems.

The RR 2015 DC will provide doctoral students in Web Reasoning and 
related areas with a unique opportunity to present and discuss their 
research directions, be involved into state-of-the-art research 
discussion, and supported in establishing fruitful research collaborations.

To this end, the conference will host two main DC events:

- a mentoring lunch, where students will have the opportunity to get in 
touch with prominent researchers and pioneers in the field of Web 
Reasoning and Rules, and of related areas;
- a poster session where students will have the possibility to present 
their work, share their ideas, and receive constructive feedback on 
their research activity.

To make the DC even more interesting and outward-looking, these two 
events will be jointly organized with the Doctoral Consortium of the 9th 
International Web Rule Symposium (RuleML 2015).

Last but not least, interested students may consider to attend also the 
11th Reasoning Web Summer School (RW 2015), which will be held from July 
21 to August 4 2015 in Berlin, co-located with RR 2015.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
=====================

We encourage submissions from PhD students whose research activity is 
related to web reasoning and rule systems. Students are invited to 
submit an original description of their work, covering the following 
aspects:
- Introduction and motivation: a clear formulation of the research 
questions you are trying to solve.
- Background: positioning of such questions in the field of web 
reasoning and rule systems, and description of the relevant state of the 
art.
- Research plan and achievements: description of the proposed solution 
to the aforementioned research questions, and of the corresponding 
research plan, stressing in particular relevance and novelty.

Each submission consists of:
- A paper conforming to the submission information above, limited to 8 
pages in English,and formatted using the LNCS style 
(http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html).
- A short reference letter from the PhD supervisor, indicating the 
current status of the student within the PhD research activity, the 
expected date of thesis submissions, the publications co-authored by the 
student within the PhD, and why it is important for him/her to attend 
the RR 2015 DC.

If the PhD student needs some form of travel support, please specify 
concisely and clearly the requested form of support inside the 
supervisor letter.

Please create a single PDF containing the submission and the reference 
letter.

Submissions are managed through Easychair:
