Conference reports

Abstract

1 RuleML 2016 also hosted the RuleML Doctoral Consortium and the 10th International Rule Challenge. Moreover, it was co-located with DecisionCAMP, a popular event for Decision Management practitioners. As it is clear from Paul's report, this co-location promoted interaction opportunities for the rule-based community and the industrial decision-modeling community. 2 Organized in cooperation with ACM SIGLOG and ACM SIGPLAN, FSCD 2016 gathered together, for the first time, two well-established conferences: RTA (Rewriting Techniques and Applications) and TLCA (Typed Lambda Calculi and Applications). As Sandra describes in her report, this first installment of the new FSCD conference was a resounding success. Considering the main conference and the 11 co-located events, there were 135 talks — an impressive number by any standard. I am most grateful to Paul and Sandra for their reports. As usual, I look forward to receiving your personal impressions and/or reports on conferences and meetings broadly related to SIGLOG. Your ideas and suggestions for future installments of the column are also most welcome.
