About Rule Challenge 2016

=========================

The RuleML 2016 Challenge is one of the highlights at the RuleML 2016
Conference, and seeks to provide a competition among innovative
rule-oriented applications, aimed at both the research and industrial side.

 

 

Topics

=======

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
limited to):

        o Use cases of mobile rule-based reasoning

        o Fine-tuning reasoning techniques to cope with mobile hardware
limitations

        o Realizing efficient crowd-sourced, voting-based, ... processing,
by taking advantage of distributed mobile peer-to-peer opportunities

        o Benchmarking mobile rule system performances, and comparing it to
desktop/server performance

 

 

Tracks 

======

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 one welcome notification and display the offer of the day.

- When a customer watches a specific product, then push related photos and
information, 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
regarding the next 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 exhibitions.

 

Rules in Transportation

- When arriving at car parking, then push a notification on available
places.

- When selecting destination and inside a bus station, then display bus data
(arrival time, notices).

- When bus nears destination, then push notification on time to arrival and
suggest accommodations.

 

Rules in Geography

- A region X is part of a region Y if and only if all regions that connect
to X also connect to Y

- Two regions X and Y are overlapped if and only if there exists a region Z
such that Z is part of X and Z is part of Y

 

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 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
the axis-aligned 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 (e.g., Italian, Greek) for a subsequent (i.e., refined) search.

 

Rules in Insurance Regulation

- If an item is perishable and is delivered more than 10 days after the
scheduled delivery date, then it may be rejected.

- Each tax schedule must have electronic signatures from two managers.

- If an inspector believes a vehicle is repairable then process the claim as
a repair; otherwise process the claim as a total loss.

 

Rules in Medicine

- If a Type II diabetes patient's current level of HbA1c is high, then the
patient's current treatment is ineffective.

- Issue medical alerts to patients (e.g., on a mobile device), based on
health trend analysis and personalizable health value limits.

- If patient has low back pain without radicular pain or neurologic
findings, then consider urine drug screening and repeat neurologic test

 

Rules in Ecosystem Research

- If a plot in a monitoring network satisfies a number of prespecified
requirements, such as being a long distance off from any other plot, then it
is eligible for statistical analysis.

- If the percentage of a target species on a plot exceeds a certain
threshold, then the plot is treated differently in statistical analysis than
plots where the target species is less abundant.

- The percentage of a target species on a plot must not vary throughout the
analysis.
