GENERAL INFORMATION

This conference is a continuation of international meetings on
Automated Reasoning with Analytic Tableaux and Related Methods held in
Lautenbach near Karlsruhe (1992), Marseille (1993), Abingdon near
Oxford (1994), St Goar near Koblenz (1995), Terrasini near Palermo
(1996), Pont-a-Mousson near Nancy (1997), Oisterwijk near Tilburg
(1998), Saratoga Springs, NY (1999), St Andrews (2000), and
Copenhagen (2002). In 2001 TABLEAUX was part of IJCAR 2001 in Siena.

In September 2003, the conference will be held in Rome, Italy.  The
proceedings will again be published in Springer's LNAI series.

See the main TABLEAUX page for general details about this series of
meetings: it is at http://i12www.ira.uka.de/TABLEAUX/

The International Conference on Theorem Proving in Higher Order Logics
(TPHOLs 2003) and the 11th Symposium on the Integration of Symbolic
Computation and Mechanized Reasoning (Calculemus 2003) will also be
held in Rome in the same period, with opportunities for joint
registration.


TOPICS

Tableau methods are a convenient formalism for automating deduction in
various non-standard logics as well as in classical logic. Areas of
application include verification of software and computer systems,
deductive databases, knowledge representation and its required
inference engines, and system diagnosis.  The conference brings
together researchers interested in all aspects -- theoretical
foundations, implementation techniques, systems development and
applications -- of the mechanization of reasoning with tableaux and
related methods.

Topics of interest include (but are not restricted to):

  *   analytic tableaux for various logics (theory and applications)
  *   related techniques and concepts, e.g., model checking and BDDs
  *   related methods (model elimination, sequent
	calculi, connection method, ...)
  *   new calculi and methods for theorem proving in classical and
	non-classical logics
	(modal, description, intuitionistic, linear, temporal, ...)
  *   systems, tools, implementations and applications (e.g. verification)


The conference program includes invited lectures by:

     Thierry Coquand, 
         Chalmers University of Technology, Göteborg, Sweden
         (joint speaker with Calculemus 2003)

     Johann Schumann, 
         NASA Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, CA 

and the following tutorials:

     Agata Ciabattoni (Technische Universität Wien), 
         Hypersequent calculi for non classical logics.

     Gerhard Lakemeyer (Aachen University of Technology), 
         The Situation Calculus.

     Jan von Plato (University of Helsinki),
         Proofs and types in constructive geometry.


SUBMISSIONS

Beyong invited lectures and tutorials, the conference will include
contributed papers, system descriptions and position
papers. Submissions are invited in three categories:

A	Research papers (reporting original theoretical and/or 
		experimental research, up to 15 pages),
B	System descriptions (up to 5 pages),
C	Position papers and brief reports on work in progress

Submissions in categories A and B will be reviewed by peers, typically
members of the program committee.  They must be unpublished and not
submitted for publication elsewhere.  Accepted papers in these
categories will be published in the conference proceedings (within the
LNAI series of Springer).

Submissions in category C will be reviewed by members of the program
committee and accepted papers in this category will be available as
Technical Report of Dipartimento di Informatica e Automazione,
Universita` di Roma Tre.

                         Submission procedure

Submissions in categories A, B and C should preferably be in LaTeX2e
llncs style (see http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html).

Papers have to be submitted in postscript format through the special
submission page at www.lugroma3.org/ConfMan/REG-paper/. Papers have to
be registered at the same page by March 18, 2003. The registration
form includes title, short abstract and a list of keywords. The
deadline for paper submission is March 21, 2003.
