The 4th International Joint Conference on Rules and Reasoning (RuleML+RR 2020)
is the leading international joint conference in the field of rule-based 
reasoning.
Stemming from the synergy with the DecisionCAMP summit, which brings together
leading decision management authorities, vendors, and practitioners, one of the
main goals of RuleML+RR is to build bridges between academia and industry in the
area of rule-based reasoning and applications. RuleML+RR 2020 is part of the 
event
"Declarative AI: Rules, Reasoning, Decisions, and Explanations" to be held 
between 
29 June - 1 July 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, environment, 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.

== TOPICS ==
RuleML+RR welcomes research from all areas of Rules and Reasoning, including 
topics
from our 2020 theme: explainable algorithmic decision-making. The topics of the
conference include:
* Machine learning approaches involving rules (e.g, extracting rules from Deep
  Neural Networks or rule-based classification)
* Rules for knowledge graphs and ontology learning
* Rule-based approaches to natural language processing
* Explainable AI approaches based on rules, psychological aspects of rule 
learning
* Rules of ethics, biases, laws, policies, and regulations
* Production & business rule systems
* Communicating rule models with Decision Model and Notation (DMN)
* Applications of rule technologies with explainable AI (xAI) elements
* Foundations of declarative AI architectures and languages
* Rule-based approaches for intelligent systems and intelligent information 
access
* Vocabularies, ontologies, and business rules
