FTP'07 - Last call for papers
International Workshop on First-Order Theorem Proving
(September 12-13, 2007, Liverpool, United Kingdom)
http://www.csc.liv.ac.uk/~ftp07/
The Sixth International Workshop on First-Order Theorem Proving will take
place at the University of Liverpool, UK, on September 12-13, 2007,
co-locating with the Sixth International Symposium on Frontiers of Combining
Systems on September 10-12, 2007.
Scope
------
The series of FTP workshops focusses on all aspects of theorem
proving in first-order logic. It aims to be a forum for the
presentation of original work, and for the discussion of work in
progress.
Relevant topics for the workshop include (but are not limited to)
* theorem proving in first-order classical, many-valued, and modal
logics, including:
- satisfiability in propositional logic,
- satisfiability modulo theories,
- decision procedures,
- constraint reasoning,
- equational reasoning,
- term rewriting,
- resolution
- paramodulation/superposition;
* strategies and complexity of theorem proving procedures;
* applications of first-order theorem proving to:
- program verification,
- model checking,
- artificial intelligence,
- mathematics,
- computational linguistics.
Previous editions of FTP took place in Schloss Hagenberg, Austria
(1997); Vienna, Austria (1998); St Andrews, Scotland (2000); as part
of IJCAR in Siena, Italy (2001); Valencia, Spain (2003); as part of
IJCAR in Cork, Ireland (2004); and Koblenz, Germany (2005). For more

Paper Submissions
------------------
Authors are invited to submit papers in the following three
categories:
* Extended abstracts of up to 15 pages, describing original results,
work in progress, or future directions of research.
* System descriptions of up to 10 pages, describing new systems or
significant upgrades of existing ones, especially including
experiments; sources and manuals of systems will have to be
freely available online.
* [NEW] Presentation-only papers, describing work recently published
or submitted (no page limit). These will not be included in the
proceedings, but pre-prints or post-prints can be made available to
participants. We see this as a way to provide additional access to
important developments that FTP Workshop attendees may be unaware of.
Authors are encouraged to use LaTeX and the standard article
class/style file (10pt or 11pt). The first page should contain the
title, the authors' names, e-mail and postal addresses.
Submissions should be made via Easychair at the following address:
http://www.easychair.org/FTP07/
Submissions will be reviewed by at least two referees, possibly
more, and will be evaluated on their significance, technical merit,
and relevance to the workshop.
Publication
------------
Accepted submissions will be published as a technical report of the
University of Liverpool and will be distribted at the workshop.
They will also be available on the web.
As for the previous editions of FTP, a journal special issue is
planned after the workshop. The submission will be open to papers
on First-Order Theorem Proving.
Important Dates
----------------
Paper submission deadline (all categories): June 29, 2007
Notification of acceptance/rejection: July 23, 2007
Final version due: August 3, 2007
Workshop: September 12-13, 2007
