The RuleML 2016 Challenge is one of the highlights at the RuleML 2016 Confe=
rence, and seeks
to provide a competition among innovative rule-oriented applications, aimed=
at both the
research and industrial side.
Topics
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
Key themes of the RuleML 2016 Challenge include, but are not limited to the=
following:
- Demos related to the RuleML 2016 Track Topics
- Rule-based Event Processing and Stream Reasoning
- Business Rules Modeling
- Benchmarks and comparison results for rule engines
- Distributed rule bases and rule services
- Rules and model driven engineering
- Reports on industrial experience about rule systems
- Real cases and practical experiences
- (new) Mobile deployment of rule-based reasoning, including (but not limit=
ed to):
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 o Use cases of mobile rule-based=
reasoning
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 o Fine-tuning reasoning techniqu=

=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 o Realizing efficient crowd-sour=
ced, voting-based, ... processing, by taking advantage
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 of distributed mobil=
e peer-to-peer opportunities

Tracks
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
This year, the challenge presents seven main themes to inspire participant =
submissions (of
course, submissions on other themes are welcome as well).
Rules in Retail
- When a customer enters the store and an "offer of the day" is available, =
then push only
=C2=A0 one welcome notification and display the offer of the day.
- When a customer watches a specific product, then push related photos and =
information,
=C2=A0 including social media reactions, directly to their device.
Rules in Tourism
- Deliver a welcome message to POI visitors as they arrive nearby.
- When a visitor leaves a room in the museum, then push notifications regar=
ding the next
=C2=A0 recommended room, based on visitors' preferences and previous visit =
history.
- When a visitor completes the tour, then push goodbye messages and notify =
on upcoming/partner
=C2=A0 exhibitions.
Rules in Transportation
- When arriving at car parking, then push a notification on available place=
s.
- When selecting destination and inside a bus station, then display bus dat=
a (arrival time,
=C2=A0 notices).
- When bus nears destination, then push notification on time to arrival and=
suggest
=C2=A0 accommodations.
Rules in Medicine
- Suggest medical treatments, based on Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPG) e=
ncoded as rules
=C2=A0 in a Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS).
- Issue medical alerts to patients (e.g., on a mobile device), based on hea=
lth trend analysis
=C2=A0 and personalizable health data limits.
- Aid physicians in diagnosing patients, by continuously encoding & updatin=
g medical knowledge
=C2=A0 and experience inside a rule base.
Rules in Geography
- A region X is part of a region Y if and only if all regions that connect =
to X also connect
=C2=A0 to Y.
- Two regions X and Y are overlapped if and only if there exists a region Z=
such that Z is
=C2=A0 part of X and Z is part of Y.
Rules in Ecosystem Research
- If a plot in a monitoring network satisfies a number of prespecified requ=
irements, such as
=C2=A0 being a long distance off from any other plot, then it is eligible f=
or statistical analysis.
- If the percentage of a target species on a plot exceeds a certain thresho=
ld, then the plot
=C2=A0 is treated differently in statistical analysis than plots where the =
target species is less
=C2=A0 abundant.
- The percentage of a target species on a plot must not vary throughout the=
analysis.
Rules in Location-Based Search
- If less than or equal to k POIs of type X (e.g., Restaurants) are found, =
then zoom in/out
=C2=A0 on the map to the axis-aligned minimum bounding box of all POIs.
- If more than k POIs of type X are found, then zoom in/out on the map to t=
he axis-aligned
=C2=A0 minimum bounding box of the k-nearest POIs.
- If the POIs searched for are of type X then suggest to the user subtypes =
of X
=C2=A0 (e.g., Italian, Greek) for a subsequent (i.e., refined) search.
Prizes
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
As in previous editions, RuleML Inc. will offer two prizes:
- RuleML Challenge Award
- RuleML Challenge Runner-up Award
(more details on these awards to be announced soon!)
