CALL FOR PAPERS

PAAR 2022: 8TH WORKSHOP ON PRACTICAL ASPECTS OF AUTOMATED REASONING
-- co-located with FLoC/IJCAR 2022  --
August 11-12, 2022, Haifa, Israel
Web site: https://paar2022.github.io/

Submission link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=paar2022
Abstract registration deadline: April 19, 2022
Submission deadline: April 26, 2022

** Description **

The automation of logical reasoning is a challenge that has been 
studied intensively in fields including mathematics, philosophy, and 
computer science. PAAR is the workshop on turning this theory into 
practice: how can automated reasoning tools be built that work and are 
useful in applications? PAAR covers all aspects of this challenge: 
which theories, logics, or fragments are well-behaved in practice, and 
connect well to application domains? which reasoning tasks are 
tractable and useful? which algorithms are able to solve real-world 
instances? how should automated reasoning tools be designed, 
implemented, tested, and evaluated?

The goal of PAAR is to bring together theoreticians, tool developers, 
and users, to concentrate on the practical aspects of automated 
reasoning. The workshop welcomes high-quality contributions of any 
kind, including new research results, presentation of work in 
progress, presentation of new tools, new implementation techniques, 
new application domains, or case studies.

PAAR 2022 will host the meeting of the working group on Automated 
Theorem Provers of the EuroProofNet COST action 
(https://europroofnet.github.io/). Every workshop participant is 
welcome to attend.

** Submission Guidelines **

Researchers interested in participating are invited to submit either 
an extended abstract (up to 8 pages) or a regular paper (up to 15 
pages), excluding references, via EasyChair at 
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=paar2022. Submissions will be 
refereed by the program committee, which will select a balanced 
program of high-quality contributions. Short submissions that could 
stimulate fruitful discussion at the workshop are particularly welcome.

Submissions should be prepared in LaTeX using the EasyChair 
proceedings style. The package containing the class file and its user 
guide and some helper tools can be downloaded from 
http://www.easychair.org/publications/easychair.zip.

** SCOPE **

Topics include, but are not limited to:
--------------------------------------
* automated reasoning in propositional, first-order, higher-order, and
  non-classical logics;
* implementation of provers (SAT, SMT, resolution, superposition, tableau,
   instantiation-based, rewriting, logical frameworks, etc.);
* automated reasoning tools for all kinds of practical problems and
  applications;
* pragmatics of automated reasoning within proof assistants;
* practical experiences, usability aspects, feasibility studies;
* evaluation of implementation techniques and automated reasoning tools;
* performance aspects, benchmarking approaches; non-standard approaches to
  automated reasoning, non-standard forms of automated reasoning, new
  applications;
* implementation techniques, optimisation techniques, machine learning,
  strategies and heuristics, fairness;
* tools or methods that support prover development;
* system descriptions and demos.
