  CALL FOR PAPERS
   
  IJCAR 2024
  The 12th International Joint Conference on Automated Reasoning
  Nancy, France, July 1-6, 2024
  https://ijcar2024.loria.fr/
===============================================================================
IJCAR is the premier international joint conference on all topics in automated 
reasoning. IJCAR 2024 will be hosted by the Inria Nancy Research Center and 
LORIA in Nancy, France, from July 1-6, 2024.

IJCAR 2024 is the merger of leading events in automated reasoning:
* CADE (Conference on Automated Deduction)
* FroCoS (Symposium on Frontiers of Combining Systems)
* TABLEAUX (Conference on Analytic Tableaux and Related Methods)

TOPICS
======
IJCAR 2024 invites submissions related to all aspects of automated or 
interactive logical reasoning, including foundations, implementations, and 
applications. Original research papers and descriptions/evaluations of working 
automated deduction systems or proof assistant systems are solicited. 

IJCAR topics include the following:
* Logics of interest include: propositional, first-order, classical, 
  equational, higher-order, non-classical, constructive, modal, temporal, many-
  valued, substructural, description, type theory.
* Methods of interest include: tableaux, sequent calculi, resolution, model-
  elimination, inverse method, paramodulation, term rewriting, induction, 
  unification, constraint solving, decision procedures, model generation, 
  model checking, semantic guidance, interactive theorem proving, logical 
  frameworks, AI-related methods for deductive systems, proof presentation, 
  automated theorem proving, combination of decision or proof procedures, SAT 
  and SMT solving, machine learning and theorem proving, integration of 
  automated provers/proof assistants in automated test generators, program 
  synthesisers, verified compilers, intelligent systems, agent based systems, 
  knowledge processing systems, formal methods tools and other symbolic tools, 
  etc.
* Applications of interest include: verification, formal methods, program 
  analysis and synthesis, computer mathematics, declarative programming, 
  deductive databases, knowledge representation and processing/engineering, 
  education, formalization of mathematics, trusted AI, etc.

WORKSHOPS, TUTORIALS, SYSTEM COMPETITION
==========================================
A two-day workshop and tutorial programme will be co-organized with the 
conference. In addition, the annual CADE ATP System Competition (CASC) will be 
held during the conference. Details will be published in separate calls and on 
the conference website.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
======================
IJCAR 2024 invites submissions related to the topics of interest mentioned 
above. All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another 
peer-reviewed journal or conference. The following paper categories are 
welcome:
* Regular papers describing solid new research results. They can be up to 15 
  pages in LNCS style, including figures but excluding references and 
  appendices. Where applicable, regular papers are supported by experimental 
  validation. Submissions reporting on case studies in an industrial context 
  are strongly invited as regular papers.
* Short papers describing implemented systems, user experiences, case studies 
  and domain models, etc. They can be up to 7 pages in LNCS style, excluding 
  references and appendices.

All submissions will be judged on relevance, originality, significance, 
correctness, and readability. Proofs of theoretical results that do not fit in 
the page limit, executables of systems, and input data of experiments should 
be made available, e.g., via a reference to a website or in an appendix of the 
paper.

The review process will include a feedback/rebuttal period where authors will 
have the option to respond to reviewer comments. The PC chairs may solicit 
further reviews after the rebuttal period. 

All submissions must be formatted using the Springer LNCS styles and submitted 
in PDF via EasyChair:
    	https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ijcar2024

The IJCAR 2024 proceedings will be published in the Springer series Lecture 
Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI/LNCS) as Gold Open Access, and will be 
available online during the conference. All accepted papers must have one 
registration including the processing fees of the Gold Open Access (200 Euros 
per paper is foreseen, like for the previous edition of IJCAR). Authors of 
accepted papers are required to ensure that at least one of them will 
participate in the conference and present the work.

BEST PAPER AWARD
================
IJCAR 2024 will recognize the most outstanding submissions with a best paper 
award and a best student paper award at the conference.

STUDENT TRAVEL AWARDS
=====================
Woody Bledsoe Travel Awards will be available to support selected students in 
attending the conference.
