GENERAL INFORMATION
   TABLEAUX is the main international conference at which research
   on all aspects, theoretical foundations, implementation techniques,
   systems development and applications, of the mechanization of
   tableau-based reasoning and related methods is presented. The
   conference will be held in Bras??lia from 26-29 September 2017.

   TABLEAUX 2017 will be co-located with both the 11th International
   Symposium on Frontiers of Combining Systems (FroCoS 2017) and the
   8th International Conference on Interactive Theorem Proving (ITP
   2017).

TOPICS
   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 large groups
   of 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,
       relevance, non-monotonic logics) and their proof-theoretic
       foundations;
     * related methods (SMT, model elimination, model checking,
       connection methods, resolution, BDDs, translation approaches);
     * sequent calculi and natural deduction calculi for classical
       and non-classical logics, as tools for proof search and proof
       representation;
     * 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, logical frameworks, model checkers, ...);
     * implementation techniques (data structures, efficient
       algorithms, performance measurement, extensibility, ...);
     * extensions of tableau procedures with conflict-driven
       learning, generation of proofs; compact (or humanly readable)
       representation of proofs;
     * decision procedures, theoretically optimal 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 logical aspects of the solution.

WORKSHOPS AND TUTORIALS
   Proposals for Workshops and Tutorial sessions have been solicited
   in a separate call, which can be found at
     http://tableaux2017.cic.unb.br/#cfw.

PUBLICATION DETAILS
   The conference proceedings will published in the Springer
   LNAI/LNCS series, as in previous editions.

SUBMISSIONS
   Submissions are invited in two categories:

     A  Research papers, which describe original theoretical
        research, original algorithms, or applications, with length
        up to 15 pages.
     B  System descriptions, with length up to 9 pages.

   Submissions will be reviewed by the PC, possibly with the help of
   external reviewers, taking into account readability, relevance
   and originality.

   For category A, theoretical results and algorithms must be
   original, and not submitted for publication elsewhere. Submissions
   will be reviewed taking into account correctness, theoretical
   elegance, and possible implementability.

   For category B submissions, a working implementation must be
   accessible via the internet, which includes sources. The aim of a
   system description is to make the system available in such a way
   that users can use it, understand it, and build on it.

   Accepted papers in both categories will be published in the
   conference proceedings. Papers must be edited in LaTeX using the
   llncs style and must be submitted electronically as PDF files via
   the EasyChair system:
   https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tableaux2017.

   For all accepted papers at least one author is required to attend
   the conference and present the paper. A paper title and a short
   abstract of about 100 words must be submitted before the paper
   submission deadline. Further information about paper submissions
   will be made available at the conference website. Formatting
   instructions and the LNCS style files can be obtained via
   http://www.springer.com/lncs.

BEST PAPER AWARD
   The TABLEAUX 2017 Best Paper Award will be presented to the best
   submission nominated and chosen by the Program Committee among
   the accepted papers. The eligibility criteria will place emphasis
   on the originality and significance of the contribution, but
   readability and the overall technical quality, including correctness
   and completeness of results, will be also considered. The TABLEAUX
   Best Paper Award was established in 2015 and it is a permanent
   initiative of TABLEAUX.

                         FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS

                             FroCoS 2017
   11th International Symposium on Frontiers of Combining Systems
                            Brasilia, Brazil
                         September 25-29th, 2017
                       http://frocos2017.cic.unb.br

                       28th April 2017 (full papers)


GENERAL INFORMATION
   The 11th International Symposium on Frontiers of Combining Systems
   (FroCoS 2017) will be held in Brasilia, Brazil, between September 25 to
   September 29, 2017. Its main goal is to disseminate and promote
   progress in research areas related to the development of techniques
   for the integration, combination, and modularization of formal
   systems together with their analysis.

   FroCoS 2017 will be co-located with the 26th International
   Conference on Automated Reasoning with Analytic Tableaux and Related
   Methods (TABLEAUX 2017) and the 8th International Conference on
   Interactive Theorem??Proving (ITP 2017). The local organization of
   all events will be organised  by Claudia Nalon (USB, Brazil),
   Daniele Nantes (UnB, Brazil), Elaine Pimentel (UFRN, Brazil) and
   Joa??o Marcos (UFRN, Brazil).

SCOPE OF CONFERENCE
   In various areas of computer science, such as logic, computation,
   program development and verification, artificial intelligence,
   knowledge representation, and automated reasoning, there is an
   obvious need for using specialized formalisms and inference systems
   for selected tasks. To be usable in practice, these specialized
   systems must be combined with each other and integrated into general
   purpose systems. This has led---in many research areas---to the
   development of techniques and methods for the combination and
   integration of dedicated formal systems, as well as for their
   modularization and analysis.

   The International Symposium on Frontiers of Combining Systems
   (FroCoS) traditionally focusses on these types of research questions
   and activities. Like its predecessors, FroCoS 2017 seeks to offer a
   common forum for research in the general area of combination,
   modularization, and integration of systems, with emphasis on
   logic-based ones, and of their practical use.

   Typical topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
     * combinations of logics (such as higher-order, first-order,
       temporal, modal, description or other non-classical logics);
     * combination and integration methods in SAT and SMT solving;
     * combination of decision procedures, satisfiability
       procedures, constraint solving techniques, or logical
       frameworks;
     * combinations and modularity in ontologies;
     * integration of equational and other theories into deductive
       systems;
     * hybrid methods for deduction, resolution and constraint
       propagation;
     * hybrid systems in knowledge representation and natural
       language semantics;
     * combined logics for distributed and multi-agent systems;
     * logical aspects of combining and modularizing programs and
       specifications;
     * integration of data structures into constraint logic
       programming and deduction;
     * combinations and modularity in term rewriting;
     * applications of methods and techniques to the verification and
       analysis of information systems.
