FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS
TABLEAUX 2017
26th International Conference on Automated Reasoning with
Analytic Tableaux and Related Methods
University of BrasÃlia, Brazil
September 26-29, 2017
Submission Deadline: 25 Apr 2017
http://tableaux2017.cic.unb.br/
GENERAL INFORMATION
TABLEAUX is the main international conference at which research
on all aspects, theoretical foundations, implementation techniques,
systems development and applications, of the mechanization of
tableau-based reasoning and related methods is presented. The
conference will be held in BrasÃlia from 26-29 September 2017.
TABLEAUX 2017 will be co-located with both the 11th International
Symposium on Frontiers of Combining Systems (FroCoS 2017) and the
8th International Conference on Interactive Theorem Proving (ITP
2017).
TOPICS
Tableau methods offer a convenient and flexible set of tools for
automated reasoning in classical logic, extensions of classical
logic, and a large number of non-classical logics. For large groups
of logics, tableau methods can be generated automatically. Areas
of application include verification of software and computer
systems, deductive databases, knowledge representation and its
required inference engines, teaching, and system diagnosis.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
* tableau methods for classical and non-classical logics
(including first-order, higher-order, modal, temporal,
description, hybrid, intuitionistic, substructural,
relevance, non-monotonic logics) and their proof-theoretic
foundations;
* related methods (SMT, model elimination, model checking,
connection methods, resolution, BDDs, translation approaches);
* sequent calculi and natural deduction calculi for classical
and non-classical logics, as tools for proof search and proof
representation;
* flexible, easily extendable, light weight methods for theorem
proving;
* novel types of calculi for theorem proving and verification
in classical and non-classical logics;
* systems, tools, implementations, empirical evaluations and
applications (provers, logical frameworks, model checkers, ...);
* implementation techniques (data structures, efficient
algorithms, performance measurement, extensibility, ...);
* extensions of tableau procedures with conflict-driven
learning, generation of proofs; compact (or humanly readable)
representation of proofs;
* decision procedures, theoretically optimal procedures;
* applications of automated deduction to mathematics, software
development, verification, deductive and temporal
databases, knowledge representation, ontologies, fault
diagnosis or teaching.
We also welcome papers describing applications of tableau
procedures to real world examples. Such papers should be tailored
to the tableau community and should focus on the role of
reasoning, and logical aspects of the solution.
WORKSHOPS AND TUTORIALS
Proposals for Workshops and Tutorial sessions have been solicited
in a separate call, which can be found at
http://tableaux2017.cic.unb.br/#cfw.
PUBLICATION DETAILS
The conference proceedings will published in the Springer
LNAI/LNCS series, as in previous editions.
SUBMISSIONS
Submissions are invited in two categories:
A Research papers, which describe original theoretical
research, original algorithms, or applications, with length
up to 15 pages.
B System descriptions, with length up to 9 pages.
Submissions will be reviewed by the PC, possibly with the help of
external reviewers, taking into account readability, relevance
and originality.
For category A, theoretical results and algorithms must be
original, and not submitted for publication elsewhere. Submissions
will be reviewed taking into account correctness, theoretical
elegance, and possible implementability.
For category B submissions, a working implementation must be
accessible via the internet, which includes sources. The aim of a
system description is to make the system available in such a way
that users can use it, understand it, and build on it.
Accepted papers in both categories will be published in the
conference proceedings. Papers must be edited in LaTeX using the
llncs style and must be submitted electronically as PDF files via
the EasyChair system:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tableaux2017.
For all accepted papers at least one author is required to attend
the conference and present the paper. A paper title and a short
abstract of about 100 words must be submitted before the paper
submission deadline. Further information about paper submissions
will be made available at the conference website. Formatting
instructions and the LNCS style files can be obtained via
http://www.springer.com/lncs.
BEST PAPER AWARD
The TABLEAUX 2017 Best Paper Award will be presented to the best
submission nominated and chosen by the Program Committee among
the accepted papers. The eligibility criteria will place emphasis
on the originality and significance of the contribution, but
readability and the overall technical quality, including correctness
and completeness of results, will be also considered. The TABLEAUX
Best Paper Award was established in 2015 and it is a permanent
initiative of TABLEAUX.

FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS
FroCoS 2017
11th International Symposium on Frontiers of Combining Systems
Brasilia, Brazil
September 25-29th, 2017
http://frocos2017.cic.unb.br
Submission Deadlines: 24th April 2017 (abstracts)
28th April 2017 (full papers)
GENERAL INFORMATION
The 11th International Symposium on Frontiers of Combining Systems
(FroCoS 2017) will be held in Brasilia, Brazil, between September 25 to
September 29, 2017. Its main goal is to disseminate and promote
progress in research areas related to the development of techniques
for the integration, combination, and modularization of formal
systems together with their analysis.
FroCoS 2017 will be co-located with the 26th International
Conference on Automated Reasoning with Analytic Tableaux and Related
Methods (TABLEAUX 2017) and the 8th International Conference on
Interactive TheoremÂProving (ITP 2017). The local organization of
all events will be organised by Claudia Nalon (USB, Brazil),
Daniele Nantes (UnB, Brazil), Elaine Pimentel (UFRN, Brazil) and
João Marcos (UFRN, Brazil).
SCOPE OF CONFERENCE
In various areas of computer science, such as logic, computation,
program development and verification, artificial intelligence,
knowledge representation, and automated reasoning, there is an
obvious need for using specialized formalisms and inference systems
for selected tasks. To be usable in practice, these specialized
systems must be combined with each other and integrated into general
purpose systems. This has led---in many research areas---to the
development of techniques and methods for the combination and
integration of dedicated formal systems, as well as for their
modularization and analysis.
The International Symposium on Frontiers of Combining Systems
(FroCoS) traditionally focusses on these types of research questions
and activities. Like its predecessors, FroCoS 2017 seeks to offer a
common forum for research in the general area of combination,
modularization, and integration of systems, with emphasis on
logic-based ones, and of their practical use.
Typical topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
* combinations of logics (such as higher-order, first-order,
temporal, modal, description or other non-classical logics);
* combination and integration methods in SAT and SMT solving;
* combination of decision procedures, satisfiability
procedures, constraint solving techniques, or logical
frameworks;
* combinations and modularity in ontologies;
* integration of equational and other theories into deductive
systems;
* hybrid methods for deduction, resolution and constraint
propagation;
* hybrid systems in knowledge representation and natural
language semantics;
* combined logics for distributed and multi-agent systems;
* logical aspects of combining and modularizing programs and
specifications;
* integration of data structures into constraint logic
programming and deduction;
* combinations and modularity in term rewriting;
* applications of methods and techniques to the verification and
analysis of information systems.

of interactive theorem proving and its applications. Suggested topics
include but are not limited to the following:
* formal aspects of hardware and software
* formalizations of mathematics
* improvements in theorem prover technology
* user interfaces for interactive theorem provers
* formalizations of computational models
* verification of security algorithms
* use of theorem provers in education
* industrial applications of interactive theorem provers
* concise and elegant worked examples of formalizations (proof pearls)
PUBLICATION DETAILS
The proceedings of the symposium will be published in the
Springer's LNCS series.
PAPER SUBMISSIONS
All submissions must be original, unpublished, and not submitted
concurrently for publication elsewhere. Furthermore, when appropriate,
submissions are expected to be accompanied by verifiable evidence of
a suitable implementation, such as the source files of a formalization
for the proof assistant used. Submissions should be no more than
16 pages in length and are to be submitted in PDF via EasyChair at
the following address:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=itp2017
Submissions must conform to the LNCS style in LaTeX. Authors of
accepted papers are expected to present their paper at the conference
and will be required to sign a copyright release form.
In addition to regular papers, described above, there will be a rough
diamond section. Rough diamond submissions are limited to 6 pages
and may consist of an extended abstract. They will be refereed and be
expected to present innovative and promising ideas, possibly in an
early form and without supporting evidence. Accepted diamonds will be
published in the main proceedings and will be presented as short
talks.
