GENERAL INFORMATION
The 19th Automated Reasoning Workshop (ARW 2012) will be held
at the University of Manchester from 2 to 4 April 2012. This
year the workshop will be collocated with the 28th British
Colloquium for Theoretical Computer Science.
SCOPE
The workshop will provide an informal forum for the automated
reasoning community to discuss recent work, new ideas and
applications, and current trends. It aims to bring together
researchers from all areas of automated reasoning in order to
foster links and facilitate cross-fertilisation of ideas among
researchers from various disciplines, from theoreticians, from
implementers and from users of automated reasoning methodologies.
Topics include but are not limited to:
o Theorem proving in classical and non-classical logics
o Interactive theorem proving, logical frameworks, proof
assistants, proof planning
o Reasoning methods
Saturation-based, instantiation-based, tableau, SAT
Equational reasoning, unification
Constraint satisfaction
Decision procedures, SMT
Combining reasoning systems
Non-monotonic reasoning, commonsense reasoning,
Abduction, induction
Model checking, model generation, explanation
o Formal methods to specifying, deriving, transforming and
verifying computer systems, requirements and software
o Logic-based knowledge representation and reasoning:
Ontology engineering and reasoning
Domain specific reasoning (spatial, temporal, epistemic,
agents, etc)
o Logic and functional programming, deductive databases
o Implementation issues and empirical results, demos
o Practical experiences and applications of automated reasoning
The workshop will be highly interactive, giving all attendees the
opportunity to participate. It will contain sessions for
displaying posters and presenting system demonstrations, and open
discussion sessions organised around specific topics.
INVITED SPEAKERS
Reiner Haehnle Technische Universitaet Darmstadt
Daniel Kroening University of Oxford
SUBMISSIONS
We invite the submission of camera-ready, two-page extended
abstracts about recent work, work in progress, or a system
description. The abstract can describe work that has already
been published elsewhere. The main objective of the abstracts
is to spread information about recent work in our community,
and we expect to accept most on-topic submissions, but we may
ask for revisions.
To prepare your submission, please use the ARW LaTeX style file
provided from the workshop website. Each submission should
include the names and complete addresses (including email) of
all authors. Correspondence will be sent to the first author,
unless otherwise indicated.
Submissions should be sent in PDF format to
ARWorkshop2012@gmail.com using *ARW12Submission* as subject of
the email. For the final versions we require all sources (tex
file and any input files).
PUBLICATION DETAILS
Abstracts will be published in informal workshop notes and will
be made available on the internet.
PRESENTATIONS
Each workshop participant will be allocated a 5-10 minute slot
(depending on time constraints), for a short talk to introduce
their research. Each participant will also be allocated space
in a poster session, where they can further present and discuss
their work. Please prepare posters for the event.
STUDENT GRANTS
We expect to have a limited number of grants available to PhD
students who wish to attend ARW 2012. Details will be published
on the workshop website.
