Online participation:

• https://politecnicomilano.webex.com/meet/shima.zahmatkesh (on Tuesday afternoon from 16:00 on, i.e., after the coffee break)

Onsite participants, please note that either a negative COVID test or proof of vaccination/past infection must be shown upon entry to the university and restaurants.

After the successful Stream Reasoning workshops in Vienna, Berlin, Zürich, and Linköping in previous years, the fifth edition of the workshop will be held in Milan, Italy, on October 4-6 2021 (October, the 4th: Hackathon - October, the 5th-6th: Main workshop)**.
**

The workshop is invitation-only and focuses on strengthening our growing community by sharing different perspectives, challenges, and experiences obtained by working with expressive yet efficient decision-making over rapidly changing data.

For Stream Reasoning to grow as a research area, it is very valuable to bring together these different views and goals, to exchange ideas in a relaxed and collaborative atmosphere. Therefore, this year we welcome submissions describing ideas, experiments, and application visions related to data and event streams. We encourage short position and short demo papers not exceeding 4 pages as well as longer technical papers not exceeding 12 pages. All papers can use 1 additional page for references.

The workshop also welcomes recently published papers. In this case, please submit an extended abstract not exceeding 2 pages and attach the original paper to your submission.

Selected technical papers will be encouraged for submission to a special issue of the Journal of Web Semantics on Stream Reasoning, whose call deadline will follow the workshop. The submissions to the special issue will undergo a usual round of review to ensure that they meet journal requirements and standards.

Submissions should be formatted according to the Lecture Notes in Computer Science guidelines for proceedings (please use LaTeX2e or Word Proceedings Templates). Papers should be submitted in PDF format, but other formats are welcome upon agreement (please contact the chairs in case). All submissions will be done electronically via the EasyChair Web submission system.

All papers accepted to the workshop will be published in informal proceedings and on the workshop website.
