FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS ITP 2017 8th International Conference on Interactive Theorem Proving Brasilia, Brazil September 26-29, 2017 http://itp2017.cic.unb.br SUBMISSION DEADLINES * April 3, 2017 (abstracts) * April 10, 2017 (full papers) GENERAL INFORMATION The ITP conference series is concerned with all topics related to interactive theorem proving, ranging from theoretical foundations to implementation aspects and applications in program verification, security, and formalization of mathematics. ITP is the evolution of the TPHOLs conference series to the broad field of interactive theorem proving. TPHOLs meetings took place every year from 1988 until 2009. The eighth ITP conference, ITP 2017, will be held at Universidade de Brasilia, September 26-29, 2017. SCOPE OF CONFERENCE ITP welcomes submissions describing original research on all aspects of interactive theorem proving and its applications. Suggested topics include but are not limited to the following: * formal aspects of hardware and software * formalizations of mathematics * improvements in theorem prover technology * user interfaces for interactive theorem provers * formalizations of computational models * verification of security algorithms * use of theorem provers in education * industrial applications of interactive theorem provers * concise and elegant worked examples of formalizations (proof pearls) PUBLICATION DETAILS The proceedings of the symposium will be published in the Springer's LNCS series. ** After the conference the authors of selected papers will be invited to submit revised papers for a special issue of the Journal of Automated Reasoning. ** PAPER SUBMISSIONS All submissions must be original, unpublished, and not submitted concurrently for publication elsewhere. Furthermore, when appropriate, submissions are expected to be accompanied by verifiable evidence of a suitable implementation, such as the source files of a formalization for the proof assistant used. Submissions should be no more than 16 pages in length and are to be submitted in PDF via EasyChair at the following address: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=itp2017 Submissions must conform to the LNCS style in LaTeX. Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their paper at the conference and will be required to a sign copyright release form. In addition to regular papers, described above, there will be a rough diamond section. Rough diamond submissions are limited to 6 pages and may consist of an extended abstract. They will be refereed and be expected to present innovative and promising ideas, possibly in an early form and without supporting evidence. Accepted diamonds will be published in the main proceedings and will be presented as short talks.

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 Joao 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.
