GENERAL INFORMATION

The 28th International Conference on Automated Reasoning with Analytic Tableaux 
and Related Methods (TABLEAUX 2019) will take place in London. It will be 
hosted by the Department of Computer Science at the Middlesex University 
London, on 3-5 September 2019.

TABLEAUX is the main international conference at which research on all aspects 
-- theoretical foundations, implementation techniques, systems development and 
applications -- of the mechanization of tableaux-based reasoning and related 
methods is presented. The first TABLEAUX conference was held in Lautenbach near 
Karlsruhe, Germany, in 1992. Since then it has been organized on an annual 
basis; in 2001, 2004, 2006, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2014, 2016 and 2018 as a 
constituent of IJCAR.

TABLEAUX 2019 will be co-located with the 12th International Symposium on 
Frontiers of Combining Systems (FroCoS 2019). The conferences will provide a 
rich programme of workshops, tutorials, invited talks, paper presentations and 
system descriptions.


SCOPE OF CONFERENCE

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 many 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, fuzzy, relevance and non-monotonic logics) and 
their proof-theoretic foundations;

* sequent calculi and natural deduction calculi for classical and non-classical 
logics, as tools for proof search and proof representation;

* related methods (SMT, model elimination, model checking, connection methods, 
resolution, BDDs, translation approaches);

* 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, proof assistants, logical frameworks, model checkers, etc.);

* implementation techniques (data structures, efficient algorithms, performance 
measurement, extensibility, etc.);

* extensions of tableau procedures with conflict-driven learning;

* techniques for proof generation and compact (or humanly readable) proof 
representation;

* theoretical and practical aspects of decision 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 on logical aspects of the 
solution.


SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Submissions are invited in three categories:

(A) research papers reporting original theoretical research or applications, 
with length up to 15 pages;

(B) system descriptions, with length up to 9 pages;

(C) position papers and brief reports on work in progress, with length up to 9 
pages.

All page limits include references and figures. Submissions will be reviewed by 
the PC, possibly with the help of external reviewers, taking into account 
readability, relevance and originality. Any additional material (going beyond 
the page limit) can be included in a clearly marked appendix, which will be 
read at the discretion of the committee and must be removed for the 
camera-ready version.

For category A submissions, the reported results must be original and not 
submitted for publication elsewhere. For category B submissions, a working 
implementation must be accessible via the internet. Authors are encouraged to 
publish the implementation under an open source license. The aim of a system 
description is to make the system available in such a way that people can use 
it, understand it, and build on it. Accepted papers in categories A and B will 
be published in the conference proceedings. Accepted papers in category C will 
be published as a Technical Report of the Middlesex University London.

Papers must be edited in LaTeX using the llncs style and must be submitted 
electronically as PDF files via the EasyChair system: 
http://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tableaux2019

For all accepted papers at least one author is required to attend the 
conference and present the paper. A title and a short abstract of about 100 
words must be submitted before the paper submission deadline. Formatting 
instructions and the LNCS style files can be obtained at 
http://www.springer.com/br/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines


IMPORTANT DATES

Abstract submission: 21 Apr 2019

Paper submission: 24 Apr 2019

Notification of paper decisions: 6 Jun 2019

Camera-ready papers due: 1 Jul 2019

TABLEAUX conference: 3-5 Sep 2019


PUBLICATION DETAILS

The conference proceedings will be published in the Springer series Lecture 
Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI/LNCS).


BEST PAPER AWARDS

The program committee will select (1) the TABLEAUX 2019 Best Paper and (2) the 
TABLEAUX 2019 Best Paper by a Junior Researcher, of which the latter will be 
supported by 500 Euros. Researchers will be considered "junior" if either they 
are students or their PhD degree date is less than two years from the first day 
of the meeting. The two awards will be presented at the conference.


TRAVEL GRANTS FOR STUDENTS

Some funding will be available to support students traveling to TABLEAUX 2019. 
More details will be given on the conference website in due time.
