We are looking for contributions describing implementation techniques for and implementations of automated reasoning programs, theorem provers for various logics, logic programming systems, and related technologies. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: + Propositional logic and decision procedures, including SMT + First-order and higher order logics + Formal foundations for efficient implementation of logics + Data structures and algorithms for the efficient representation and processing of logical concepts + Proof search organization and heuristics for logical reasoning systems + Practical constraint handling + Reasoning with ontologies + Implementation of efficient theorem provers for different logics + Implementation of efficient model finders for different logics + Implementation of efficient systems for other processes in logic + System descriptions of logical reasoning systems + Issues of reliability, witness generation, and witness verification + Evaluation and benchmarking of provers and other logic-based systems + I/O standards and communication between reasoning systems We are particularly interested in contributions that help the community to understand how to build useful and powerful reasoning systems, and how to apply them in practice. Researchers interested in participating are invited to submit a position statement (2 pages), a short paper (up to 5 pages), or a full paper (up to 15 pages). Submissions should be made via EasyChair at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iwil2012 Submissions will be refereed by the program committee, which will select a balanced program of high-quality contributions. Submissions should be in standard-conforming PDF. Final versions will be required to be submitted in LaTeX using the easychair.cls class file. Proceedings will be published as EasyChair Proceedings. If number and quality of the submissions warrant it, we plan to produce a special issue of a recognized journal on the topic of the workshop. Important Dates: Submission of papers/abstracts: January 17th, 2012 Notification of acceptance: February 13th, 2012 Camera ready versions due: February 27th, 2012 Workshop: March 10th, 2012 (preliminary) Program committee: Eugenia Ternovska (Co-Chair) Simon Fraser University, Vancouver Konstantin Korovin (Co-Chair) University of Manchester Stephan Schulz (Co-Chair) TU Muenchen Christoph Benzmueller FU Berlin Armin Biere Johannes-Kepler Universitaet Linz Jasmin Blanchette TU Muenchen Leonardo De Moura Microsoft Research Marc Denecker Katholieke Universiteit Leuven Krystof Hoder University of Manchester Yevgeny Kazakov University of Oxford Boris Konev University of Manchester Daniel Le Berre Universite d'Artois Albert Oliveras Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya Jens Otten Universitaet Potsdam Adam Pease Articulate Software Renate Schmidt University of Manchester Peter Schneider-Kamp Syddansk Universitet Mark Stickel SRI International Christoph Sticksel University of Manchester Geoff Sutcliffe University of Miami Other members to be confirmed ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for submissions: APS-6 6th International Workshop on Analytic Proof Systems will be held March 10, 2012 in the context of LPAR-18, March 10-15, 2012, Merida, Venezuela Analyticity is a topic that connects foundational issues in logic with applications, mainly in automated deduction and analysis of proofs. The workshop is primarily intended to enhance awareness for its topic and to promote corresponding discussions and contacts between experienced experts and younger colleagues. Topics of Interests include - Old and new types of analytic calculi: sequent calculi, tableaux, matrix systems, connection method, hypersequents, display calculus, deep inference, ... - Cut elimination and normalization: new methods, complexity, abstract approaches, ... - Proof search: modelling proof search, model extraction, disproving, decision procedures, ... - Relation to other methods: analytic systems and resolution, lambda calculus, modal mu calculi, lambda-mu calculus, programming languages, ... - Extracting information from proofs: extraction of algorithms, constructivity, model construction, Herbrand's theorem, ... - Proof theoretic semantics and related topics: natural deduction, dialogue games, game semantics, ... Webpage: http://www.logic.at/staff/chrisf/ws/LPAR-AS-6.html Organizers: Matthias Baaz, University of Technology, Vienna Christian Ferm?ller, University of Technology, Vienna Submission: Please submit a 1-2 page abstract to analytic@logic.at by January 31, 2012. The submissions will be reviewed by the organizers with the help of additional external experts. Notification of acceptance is planned for February 6, 2012. The abstracts selected for presentation will be made available electronically. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
