<br>
The purpose of the Reasoning Web Summer School is to disseminate<br>
recent advances on reasoning techniques which are of particular<br>
interest to Semantic Web and Linked Data applications. It is<br>
primarily intended for postgraduate (PhD or MSc) students,<br>
postdocs, young researchers, and senior researchers wishing to<br>
learn about Reasoning on the Semantic Web and related issues.<br>
In 2015, the theme of the school is:<br>
<br>
"Web Logic Rules"<br>
<br>
As in the previous years, lectures in the summer school will be<br>
given by a distinguished group of expert lecturers. Apart from<br>
their lectures, most lecturers will also be present for the duration<br>
of the school to interact and establish contacts with the students.<br>
<br>
The summer school is co-located with RR2015, RuleML 2015 and
CADE-25,<br>
hence, there will be a great opportunity for students to also attend<br>
a major event in the area after the school. In addition, RR and
RuleML<br>
will also include a Doctoral Consortium and students of RW are<br>
particularly encouraged to also apply to the Doctoral consortium of
RR<br>
and RuleML - joint applications are explicitly encouraged.<br>
