SCOPE OF CONFERENCE
========================================================================
ACL2 2006 is the major technical forum for users of the ACL2 theorem
proving system and is the sixth in a series of workshops that occur
every 18 months. ACL2 is an industrial-strength automated reasoning
system that is part of the Boyer-Moore family of theorem provers, winner
of the 2005 ACM Software System Award.  ACL2 2006 is hosted by the CAV
and IJCAR conferences, which are part of FLoC 2006, the Federated Logic
Conference.  In addition, and as reflected by our program committee, we
encourage participation from users of other theorem provers and persons
interested in the application of theorem proving technology.  We invite
papers on any ACL2-related topic, including but not limited to:

+ applications of the theorem prover,

+ proposals for ACL2 theorem prover improvements, especially as
  illustrated in experimental extensions or other systems,

+ comparisons with other theorem provers, programming languages, or
  specification languages,

+ solved (and unsolved!) challenge problems, and

+ implementations connecting ACL2 with other systems.

PAPER SUBMISSIONS
========================================================================
Submissions must be made electronically in PDF format, following the
instructions on the ACL2 2006 Web site.  Submissions must use the ACM
SIG Proceedings format with letter-size paper (see
http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html).

Two categories of papers will be accepted: long (at most 10 pages) and
short (at most 4 pages). Note that the current paper format is much more
compact than the LNCS format we used in the past! Authors can assume
that the workshop audience has a working knowledge of ACL2's syntax,
basic commands, and modeling techniques.  Papers should contain a short
abstract of approximately 150 words clearly stating the contribution of
the submission.  Authors of accepted papers are required to give a
presentation at the workshop.  Papers should be self-contained, but, as
has been the case traditionally (and where applicable), we strongly
encourage authors to provide ACL2 "books" or script files that provide
full details, along with instructions for how to process these books
with ACL2.  The submission guidelines for supporting materials, which we
strongly recommend you adhere to can be found at 
http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/moore/acl2/v2-9/new/books/.  For
accepted papers, these books will be mirrored on the ACL2 home page and
included in future ACL2 distributions. We expect to provide workshop
proceedings and to include these proceedings in the ACM digital library.
