FLoC workshop on proof complexity - Call for Presentations ---------------------------------------------------------- Haifa, 31 July -- 1 August 2022 https://floc-pc-workshop.gitlab.io/ The workshop will be part of FLoC and will be affiliated with the conference SAT'22. === Important Dates === 10 May 2022 .................... Abstract submission 15 June 2022 ................... Notification to authors 31 July -- 1 August 2022 ....... Workshop in Haifa === Scope === Proof complexity is the study of the complexity of theorem proving procedures. The central question in proof complexity is: given a theorem F (e.g. a propositional tautology) and a proof system P (i.e., a formalism usually comprised of axioms and rules), what is the size of the smallest proof of F in the system P? Moreover, how difficult is it to construct a small proof? Many ingenious techniques have been developed to try to answer these questions, which bare tight relations to intricate theoretical open problems from computational complexity (such as the celebrated P vs. NP problem), mathematical logic (e.g. separating theories of Bounded Arithmetic) as well as to practical problems in SAT/QBF solving. === Invited Speakers === TBD === Submissions === We welcome 1-2-page abstracts presenting (finished, ongoing, or if clearly stated even recently published) work on proof complexity. Particular topics of interest are * Proof Complexity * Bounded Arithmetic * Relations to SAT/QBF solving * Relations to Computational Complexity === Submission Guidelines === Abstracts are invited of ongoing, finished, or (if clearly stated) even recently published work on a topic relevant to the workshop. The abstracts will appear in electronic pre-proceedings that will be distributed at the meeting. Abstracts (at most 2 pages, in LNCS style) are to be submitted electronically in PDF via EasyChair http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=pc2022 Accepted communications must be presented at the workshop by one of the authors. === Program Committee === * Olaf Beyersdorff (Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena) * Susanna de Rezende (Lund University) * Jan Johannsen (Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München) * Ján Pich (University of Oxford) * Robert Robere (McGill University) * Friedrich Slivovsky (TU Vienna) * Marc Vinyals === Organizers === * Olaf Beyersdorff (Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena) * Jan Johannsen (Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München) * Marc Vinyals -- [LOGIC] mailing list http://www.dvmlg.de/mailingliste.html Archive: http://www.illc.uva.nl/LogicList/ provided by a collaboration of the DVMLG, the Maths Departments in Bonn and Hamburg, and the ILLC at the Universiteit van Amsterdam
