The second conference was located with the Business Rule Forum, the premier world-wide industry conference on business rules and decisioning, held in Florida, in November of 2011. RuleML-2011@BRFwasaconferencecreated,inspiredandsupportedbythe RuleML Initiative. RuleML (http://www.ruleml.org)is a non-profit umbrella organization.It includes severalTechnical Groups,organizedby representatives fromacademia,industry,andgovernment,workingonruletechnologiesandtheir applications. Its aim is to promote the study, research, and application of rules inheterogeneous,distributed environmentssuchas the Web. The RuleML com- munity has developed the RuleML/XML standard aiming at a complete and modularized XML language for modeling and serializing declarative as well as reactive rules. RuleML maintains effective links with other major international societies. It acts as an intermediary between various “specialized” rule vendors, industrial and academic researchgroups,as well as standardizationbodies such as W3C, OMG, and OASIS. For example, a cooperative arrangement with the NIEMcommunity (NationalInformationExchangeModel, promotedby the US federal governmenthttps://www.niem.gov),was consolidated with the help of Oracle Corporation. TheInternationalSymposiumonRules,RuleML,hasevolvedfromanannual seriesofinternationalworkshopsheldsince2002.In2005and2006itbecamean international conference. It has become an international symposium since 2007, held jointly with the International Business Rules Forum. For 2011, RuleML envisioned the opportunity to capture the attention of the most advanced AI community with the RuleML-2011@IJCAI conference, and this provided new keyactorsinthecommunity.Forthisreason,theProgramCommitteeofRulML- 2011@BRFwascomposedofover100expertscomingfromheterogeneousfields, 16 special Track Chairs, and dedicate Challenge Award Chairs. Due to its orientation toward the industrial sector, RuleML-2011@BRF in- cluded the RuleML Challenge Award which is dedicated to showcasing high- lighted demos: this year, the Challenge was dedicated to Rules, Objects and Ontologies. RuleML-2011@BRF intended specifically to create a unique place where academic researchers and industry experts involved in the field of rules and semantic technology could meet and cooperate to go beyond the state of the art and develop applications usable in the market. This cross-fertilization VI Preface wasafocusofRuleML-2011@BRFand,forthisreason,particularattentionwas putoninvitedpresentationsanddemoscomingfromuniversitiesandcompanies. RuleML-2011@BRFemphasized the synergy between high-quality researchand industry operating in the rule modeling, markup, and reasoning domain, with particular regard to the usability of such rule systems in the Web environment. The papers in this volume concern the RuleML-2011@BRF conference and include4keynotespeeches(someintheformofshortpapers,someasabstracts), 4 invited presentations coming from industry partners and standard organiza- tions, 12 full papers, 5 short papers, 5 invited track and position papers. Sixty authorswereinvolved,comingfrom11differentcountriesfromaroundtheworld. The contributions covered topics spanning a wide terrain, such as (Web) rules, semantic technology, cross-industry standards, rules and automated reasoning, rule-based distributed/multi-agent systems, rules and norms, rule-based event processing and reaction rules, vocabularies and ontologies, as well as business rules. More and more the rule modeling research needs to be integrated with ontology and semantic techniques [de Sainte Marie; Tang; Gravier et. al.], lin- guistics aspects [Omrane et. al.], emerging knowledge discovery issues, agent systems and business rule management [Kao; Pitt et. al.; Olivieri et. al.; Feld- man; Vanthienen]. It is necessary to learn, in a way that is as much as possible automatic, rules from large volumes of data, from documents available on the Web and from events/actions occurring at specific moments in time [Paschke, Vincent and Springer; Vincent; Skarlatidis et. al.]. On the other hand, it nec- essary to evolve standards, such as RuleML, to customize rule systems for a multitude of real-world cases [Athan and Boley; Sadnan; Osmun et. al.; Becker andMackay;Palmiraniet.al.]andtopermitthedevelopmentofcomputable,ef- fectiveandconcreteapplicationsusingthenewgenerationofrule-engines[Yahya and Theobald; Zhao et. al.; Grosof]. Finally, databases can be managed using new approaches [Bak et. al; Urban et. al.; Shiva et. al.]; considering the growth of “unstructured data,” they need to be normalized and queried using hybrid, rule-based reasoning engines. So, an interesting scenario is emerging from the paperspresentedinthisvolume:rulesnotonlysupportknowledgemodelingand reasoning, but also consistency management of large data volumes to get more precise answers to queries [Aasman].

We further wish to thank Preface VII the keynote speakers, industrial partners, and the invited track authors who contributed their interesting talks. We are very grateful to the organizersof the nth14 International Business Rules Forum for enabling this fruitful collocation with RuleML-2011@BRF. We would especially like to thank Rising Media for its support.
