The BuRO 2010 workshop has made public the program and the proceedings of the event. The 1st International Workshop on Business Models, Business Rules and Ontologies (BuRO 2010) is organized by the ONTORULE Project, and it'll be help the following September 21, 2010, in Bressanone/Brixen (Italy), organized in conjunction with the the 4th International Conference on Web Reasoning and Rule Systems (RR2010).

ONTORULE has recently organized two tutorials co-located with scientific conferences. The tutorial title was "Integrating ontologies and rules in a semantic business: from policies to operation". The presenters were Thomas Eiter, Stijn Heymans, Luis Polo, and Adeline Nazarenko.

The first tutorial took place on May 30 at ESWC2010, in Heraklion (Greece), and the second one was held on July 12 at AAAI2010, in Atlanta (USA). The events were a success, with an attendance of approximately 10-15 people in each edition. At both sides of the Atlantic ocean, the participants engaged with the speakers in a very participative atmosphere.

You can find more information on the tutorials by reading the handout copy of the slides used by the speakers.

In June 2010, the project reached its mid-term milestone, M18. We have completed a number of new deliverables which will soon be available for download in the webpage. Please stay tuned for the updates. The next milestone will be M24 at the end of December 2010.

The 1st International Workshop on Business Models, Business Rules and Ontologies (BuRO 2010), co-located with the 4th International Conference on Web Reasoning and Rule Systems (RR2010), has just published the call for papers. This workshop is supported by the ONTORULE project. Submissions are welcomed until August 6th.
