                 CALL FOR WORKSHOPS AND TUTORIALS
                             CADE-18
			     
  The  18th  International  Conference  on  Automated  Deduction

                    July 27-30, 2002 (CADE-18)
         July 25, 26 and July 31, August 1 2002 (workshops/tutorials)
		        Copenhagen, Denmark
                     http://floc02.diku.dk/CADE

CADE is the major forum for the presentation of new research in all
aspects of automated deduction. Proposals for workshops and for
tutorials are solicited.  Pre-CADE workshops and tutorials will run
Thursday July 25 - Friday July 26, 2002, and post-CADE ones will run
Wednesday July 31 - Thursday August 1, 2002. Workshops and tutorials
will ordinarily run for one or two days, but half a day ones may be
possible as well. 

Workshop Topics
---------------

Recent CADE workshops have included term schematisations and their
applications, reasoning, automation of proofs by induction, empirical
studies in logic algorithms, mechanisations of partial functions,
proof search in type-theoretic languages, automated model building,
evaluation of automated theorem-proving systems, strategies in
automated deduction, automated theorem proving in software engineering
and in mathematics, integration of symbolic computation and
deduction. 

We would like to encourage workshops which build on previous events as
well as new ones in novel research areas broadly related to automation
and deduction.

Tutorial Topics
---------------

Recent CADE tutorials have included equality reasoning in semantic
tableaux, proof systems for nonmonotonic logics, rewrite techniques in
theorem proving, proof planning, parallelisation of deduction
strategies, resolution decision methods, constructive type theory, the
use of semantics in Herbrand-based proof procedures, logical
frameworks, theorem proving by the inverse method, deduction methods
based on boolean rings, higher-order equational logic, and term
indexing in automated reasoning. 

Tutorials may be introductory, intermediate, or advanced. Tutorials on 
novel research are also encouraged.

Proposals
---------

Anyone wishing to organise a workshop or tutorial in conjunction with 
CADE-18 should send (e-mail preferred) a proposal (in ASCII text
format) no longer than two pages to the workshop/tutorial chair and
the organising committee chair by October 12, 2001. The proposal
should describe:    

- The title of the workshop or tutorial.
- The names and affiliations of person or persons who will chair the 
  workshop or present the tutorial.
- A brief technical description of the topic of the workshop or
  tutorial. 
- An explanation of why the topic is relevant to CADE.
- Contact details (email, web page, phone, fax, etc.)
- A list of workshops or tutorials previously organised or given in 
  this or related areas.
- The preferred date for the workshop or tutorial (pre-CADE, post-CADE
  or any).  
- The proposed duration of workshop or tutorial (1 day, 2 days).
- Any equipment that may be needed for the workshop or tutorial
  (transparency projector, computer projector, ...).
- Will there be invited speakers at the workshop or tutorial, and how
  many?
- Are there plans to have proceeding or other publications of the
  workshop or tutorial?

Proposals will be evaluated, and decisions will be communicated by
October 26, 2001.  Further information about the arrangements for
workshops and tutorials can be obtained from the CADE-18 Web site.

Proposal deadline:            October 12, 2001
