GENERAL INFORMATION
  CADE is the major forum for the presentation of research in all
  aspects of automated deduction. The conference programme will
  include invited talks, paper presentations, system
  descriptions, workshops, tutorials, and system competitions.

SCOPE
  We invite high-quality submissions on the general topic of
  automated deduction, including foundations, applications,
  implementations and practical experiences. 

  Logics of interest include, but are not limited to

    o propositional, first-order, equational, higher-order,
      classical, description, modal, temporal, many-valued,
      intuitionistic, other non-classical, meta-logics,
      logical frameworks, type theory and set theory.

  Methods of interest include, but are not limited to

    o saturation, resolution, instance-based, tableaux, sequent
      calculi, natural deduction, term rewriting, decision
      procedures, model generation, model checking, constraint
      solving, induction, unification, proof planning, proof
      checking, proof presentation and explanation.

  Applications of interest include, but are not limited to

    o program analysis and verification, hardware verification,
      mathematics, natural language processing, computational
      linguistics, knowledge representation, ontology reasoning,
      deductive databases, functional and logic programming,
      robotics, planning, and other areas of AI.

INVITED SPEAKERS:
  Konstantin Korovin   The University of Manchester
  Martin Rinard        Massachusetts Institute of Technology
  Mark Stickel         SRI International

WORKSHOPS, TUTORIALS, SYSTEM COMPETITIONS:
  There will be a two-day programme of eight workshops and four
  tutorials before the conference. In addition, two system
  competitions will be held during the conference.

    Workshops:
      o Automated Deduction: Decidability, Complexity,
            Tractability (ADDCT)
      o Beyond SAT: What About First-Order Logic?
      o Logical Frameworks and Meta-Languages: Theory and
            Practice (LFMTP)
      o Modules and Libraries for Proof Assistants (MLPA)
      o Proof Search in Type Theories (PSTT)
      o Satisfiability Modulo Theories (SMT)
      o The International Workshop on Unification (UNIF)
      o TPTP World Workshop (TPTPWoWo)

    Tutorials:
      o Hierarchical and Modular Reasoning in Complex Theories
      o Probabilistic Analysis Using a Theorem Prover
      o Precise, Automated and Scalable Verification of Systems
            Software Using SMT solvers
      o Logics with Undefinedness

    System competitions:
      o The CADE ATP System Competition (CASC)
      o Satisfiability Modulo Theories Competition (SMT-COMP)

  Details will be published in separate calls and on the
  conference website.

STUDENT AWARDS
  Travel awards will be available to enable selected students to
  attend the conference. Details will be published on the
  conference website.

PUBLICATION DETAILS:
  The proceedings of the conference will be published in the
  Springer LNAI/LNCS series.

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS:
  Submissions can be made in the categories 'regular papers' and
  'system descriptions'. The page limit in Springer LNCS style is
  15 pages for regular papers and 5 pages for system
  descriptions. Full system descriptions that provide in-depth
  presentation of original ideas in an implemented system can be
  submitted as regular papers. For the benefit of reviewers,
  additional material may be provided by a clearly marked
  appendix or a reference to a manuscript on a website. It is at
  the discretion of the reviewers whether such supplements will
  be considered. All regular papers will be evaluated according
  to the highest standards in terms of originality, significance,
  technical quality, and readability.

  Submissions must be in English and standard conforming pdf
  format. Submissions must be unpublished and not submitted for
  publication elsewhere. Authors are strongly encouraged to
  produce their papers in LaTeX.

  Formatting instructions and the LNCS style files can be
  obtained via http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html.
