Call for Papers
1st Workshop on 
Aided Formalization of Business Rules and Policies 
FoBuR'2010

http://www.ontorule-project.eu/dissemination/events/fobur2010
co-located with EKAW 2010

11th - 15th October, Lisbon, Portugal

In the Business Rules community and for the management of policies,
many tools and methodologies are developed in order to assist the
business users (e.g. Domain Experts, Business Analysts) in rules and
policies formalization. The goal of this workshop is to draw the
attention of the EKAW scientific community to this emerging research
problem of which the business world is already aware. We will focus on
two kinds of tools and methodologies aim at helping users in the
formalization task:

1.  Tools and methodologies for the acquisition of rules and models:
some of these tools focus on (semi-)automatically
identifying/extracting rules and models from textual policy documents
but other sources of information can be exploited. In any case, it is
of crucial importance to explicit the way acquisition is performed and
to relate that methodology to the type of source that is exploited. It
is also important to evaluate the proposed methodology.

2.  Easy to use rules editors, that allow business users to edit and
possibly update executable rules. Some of these tools rely on
(controlled) natural language, which is an interesting option to
consider.

This workshop aim to bring together researchers from the Knowledge
Engineering and Acquisition community and experts of Business Rules
and Policies.
