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. As
    the first TABLEAUX workshop was held in Lautenbach in 1992, this
    year's conference will include special events celebrating 25 years
    of TABLEAUX.

    The conference will be held in Brasilia from 25-28 September 2017.
    It 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.

    website.

POSTER SESSION
    There will be a joint poster session for TABLEAUX 2017, FroCos 2017,
and
    ITP 2017. The session is intended for descriptions of work in
progress,
    student projects and relevant research being published elsewhere.
    The deadline for posters submission is June 15, 2017. More details can
    be found at http://tableaux2017.cic.unb.br/#postersession.

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. Be aware that
    neither plagiarism, nor self-plagiarism, nor duplicate publication
    is acceptable. Formatting instructions and the LNCS style files
    can be obtained via

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 also be considered. The TABLEAUX
    Best Paper Award was established in 2015 and is a permanent
    initiative of TABLEAUX.
