The 26th International Conference on Automated Deduction (CADE-26) Gothenburg, Sweden 6-11 August 2017 http://www.cade-26.info CALL FOR PAPERS CADE is the major international forum at which research on all aspects of automated deduction is presented. High-quality submissions on the general topic of automated deduction, including foundations, applications, implementations, theoretical results, practical experiences and user studies are solicited. Key dates: Abstract deadline: 11 February 2017 Submission deadline: 18 February 2017 * Logics of interest include propositional, first-order, equational, higher-order, classical, description, modal, temporal, many-valued, constructive, other non-classical, meta-logics, logical frameworks, type theory, set theory, as well as any combination thereof. * Paradigms of interest include theorem proving, model building, constraint solving, computer algebra, model checking, proof checking, and their integration. * Methods of interest include resolution, superposition, completion, saturation, term rewriting, decision procedures, model elimination, connection methods, tableaux, sequent calculi, natural deduction, as well as their supporting algorithms and data structures, including matching, unification, orderings, induction, indexing techniques, proof presentation and explanation, proof planning. * Applications of interest include program analysis, verification and synthesis of software and hardware, formal methods, computational logic, computer mathematics, natural language processing, computational linguistics, knowledge representation, ontology reasoning, deductive databases, declarative programming, robotics, planning, and other areas of artificial intelligence. Submissions can be made in two categories: regular papers and system descriptions. The page limit in Springer LNCS style is 15 pages excluding references for regular papers and 10 pages excluding references for system descriptions. Submissions must be unpublished and not submitted for publication elsewhere. They will be judged on relevance, originality, significance, correctness, and readability. System descriptions must contain a link to a working system and will also be judged on usefulness and design. Proofs of theoretical results that do not fit in the page limit, executables of systems, and input data of experiments should be made available, via a reference to a website or in an appendix of the paper. For papers containing experimental evaluations, all data needed to rerun the experiments must be available. Reviewers will be encouraged to consider this additional material, but submissions must be self-contained within the respective page limit; considering the additional material should not be necessary to assess the merits of a submission. The review process will include a feedback/rebuttal period where authors will have the option to respond to reviewer comments. The PC chairs may solicit further reviews after the rebuttal period. The proceedings of the conference will be published in the Springer LNCS/LNAI series. Formatting instructions and the LNCS style files can be obtained at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html At every CADE conference the Program Committee selects one of the accepted papers to receive the CADE Best Paper Award. The award recognizes a paper that the Program Committee collegially evaluates as the best in terms of originality and significance, having substantial confidence in its correctness. Overall technical quality, completeness, scholarly accuracy, and readability are also considered. Characteristics associated with a best paper include, for instance, introduction of a strong new technique or approach, solution of a long-standing open problem, introduction and solution of an interesting and important new problem, highly innovative application of known ideas or existing techniques, and presentation of a new system of outstanding power. Under exceptional circumstances, the Program Committee may give two awards (ex aequo) or give no award. IMPORTANT DATES Abstract deadline: 11 February 2017 Submission deadline: 18 February 2017 Rebuttal phase: 8 April 2017 Notification: 22 April 2017 Final version: 27 May 2017 SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Papers should be submitted via https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cade26 CADE-26 ORGANIZERS Conference Chairs: Wolfgang Ahrendt Chalmers University of Technology Moa Johansson Chalmers University of Technology Program Committee Chair: Leonardo de Moura Microsoft Research Workshop, Tutorial, and Competition Chair: Philipp Ruemmer Uppsala University Publicity Chair: Magnus Myreen Chalmers University of Technology Program Committee: Clark Barrett Stanford University Christoph Benzmueller Freie Universitaet Berlin Jasmin Christian Blanchette Inria Nancy & LORIA Nikolaj Bjorner Microsoft Research Maria Paola Bonacina Universita degli Studi di Verona Leonardo de Moura Microsoft Research Hans de Nivelle University of Wroclaw Stephanie Delaune CNRS, IRISA Gilles Dowek Inria & ENS Paris-Saclay Amy Felty University of Ottawa Silvio Ghilardi Universita degli Studi di Milano Reiner Haehnle Technical University of Darmstadt Marijn Heule The University of Texas at Austin Moa Johansson Chalmers University of Technology Dejan Jovanovic SRI International Deepak Kapur University of New Mexico Konstantin Korovin The Manchester University Laura Kovacs Vienna University of Technology Christopher Lynch Clarkson University Assia Mahboubi INRIA Aart Middeldorp University of Innsbruck Dale Miller INRIA and LIX/Ecole Polytechnique Albert Oliveras Technical University of Catalonia Lawrence Paulson University of Cambridge Ruzica Piskac Yale University Philipp Ruemmer Uppsala University Renate Schmidt The University of Manchester Stephan Schulz DHBW Stuttgart Roberto Sebastiani University of Trento Viorica Sofronie-Stokkermans University Koblenz-Landau Geoff Sutcliffe University of Miami Cesare Tinelli The University of Iowa Ashish Tiwari SRI International Andrei Voronkov The University of Manchester Christoph Weidenbach Max Planck Institute for Informatics Freek Wiedijk Radboud University Nijmegen CALL FOR WORKSHOPS, TUTORIALS, SYSTEM COMPETITIONS The 26th International Conference on Automated Deduction (CADE-26) Gothenburg, Sweden 6-11 August 2017 http://www.cade-26.info CALL FOR WORKSHOPS Workshop proposals for CADE-26 are solicited. The workshops will take place on August 6-7 2017, before the main conference. Both well-established workshops and newer ones are encouraged. Similarly, proposals for workshops with a tight focus on a core automated reasoning specialization, as well as those with a broader, more applied focus, are very welcome. Please provide the following information in your application document: + Workshop title. + Names and affiliations of organizers. + Proposed workshop duration (from half a day to two days) and preferred day(s). + Brief description of the goals and the scope of the workshop. Why is the workshop relevant for CADE? + Is the workshop new or has it met previously? In the latter case information on previous meetings should be given (e.g., links to the program, number of submissions, number of participants). + What are the plans for publication? CALL FOR TUTORIALS Tutorial proposals for CADE-26 are solicited. Tutorials are expected to be either half-day or full-day events, with a theoretical or applied focus, on a topic of interest for CADE-26. Proposals should provide the following information: + Tutorial title. + Names and affiliations of organizers. + Proposed tutorial duration (from half a day to one days) and the preferred day. + Brief description of the tutorial's goals and topics to be covered. + Whether or not a version of the tutorial has been given previously. CADE will take care of printing and distributing notes for tutorials that would like this service. CALL FOR SYSTEM COMPETITIONS The CADE ATP System Competition (CASC), which evaluates automated theorem proving systems for classical logics, has become an integral part of the CADE conferences. Further system competition proposals are solicited. The goal is to foster the development of automated reasoning systems in all areas relevant for automated deduction in a broader sense. Proposals should include the following information: + Competition title. + Names and affiliations of organizers. + Duration and schedule of the competition. + Room/space requirements. + Description of the competition task and the evaluation procedure. + Is the competition new or has it been organized before? In the latter case information on previous competitions should be given. + What computing resources are required and how will they be provided? IMPORTANT DATES Workshop/Tutorials/System Competitions: Submission deadline: 5 December 2016 Notification: 19 December 2016 SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Proposals for workshops, tutorials, and system competitions should be uploaded via https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cade26wtc -- [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
