TABLEAUX 2023 - PRELIMINARY CALL FOR PAPERS

The 32nd International Conference on Automated Reasoning with Analytic
Tableaux and Related Methods
Prague, Czech Republic, September 18-21, 2023

Website: http://tableaux2023.tableaux-ar.org
Submission deadlines: May 9 (abstract), May 14, 2023 (paper)

GENERAL INFORMATION
The 32nd International Conference on Automated Reasoning with Analytic
Tableaux and Related Methods (TABLEAUX 2023) will be hosted by the
Czech Technical University in Prague, Czech Republic, September 18-21,
2023.

TABLEAUX is the main international conference at which research on all
aspects -- theoretical foundations, implementation techniques, systems
development and applications -- of tableaux-based reasoning and
related methods is presented. The first TABLEAUX conference was held
in Lautenbach near Karlsruhe, Germany, in 1992. Since then it has been
organised on an annual basis (sometimes as a part of IJCAR).

TABLEAUX 2023 will be co-located with the 14th International Symposium
on Frontiers of Combining Systems (FroCoS 2023). The conferences will
provide a rich programme of workshops, tutorials, invited talks, paper
presentations and system descriptions.

SCOPE OF CONFERENCE
Tableaux and related proof methods offer convenient and flexible tools
for automated reasoning for both classical and non-classical logics.
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, linear, substructural, fuzzy, relevance and
non-monotonic logics) and their proof-theoretic foundations;
   * sequent, natural deduction, labelled, nested and deep calculi for
classical and non-classical logics, as tools for proof search and
proof representation;
   * related methods (SMT, model elimination, model checking,
connection methods, resolution, BDDs, translation approaches);
   * 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, proof assistants, logical frameworks, model
checkers, etc.);
   * implementation techniques (data structures, efficient algorithms,
performance measurement, extensibility, etc.);
   * combinations with machine learning and other AI methods;
   * techniques for proof generation and compact (or human-readable)
proof representation;
   * theoretical and practical aspects of decision 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 TABLEAUX
community and should focus on the role of reasoning and on logical
aspects of the solution.

AITP-TABLEAUX SPECIAL TRACK
Besides the main track, TABLEAUX 2023 will host a special track on
Artificial Intelligence and Theorem Proving (AITP). The special track
invites papers combining machine learning and related AI methods with
standard TABLEAUX topics (see above). We welcome full versions of the
extended abstracts presented at the AITP conference
(http://aitp-conference.org/2023/).

WORKSHOPS AND TUTORIALS
If you would like to organize a workshop or run a tutorial, please let
us know before July 14, 2023.

INVITED SPEAKERS
To be announced.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Submissions are invited in the following two categories:
(A) regular papers reporting original theoretical research or
applications. Up to 15 pages excluding references;
(B) short papers such as system descriptions, user experiences, case
studies and domain models. Up to 9 pages excluding references.

Submissions will be reviewed by the Program Committee, possibly with
the help of external reviewers, taking into account correctness,
originality, readability, relevance, and significance. Any additional
material (going beyond the page limit) may be included in a clearly
marked appendix that will be read at the discretion of the committee
and must be removed for the camera-ready version.

Submissions must be unpublished and not submitted for archival
publication elsewhere. If software or data is relevant to a paper, a
link that provides access to the software/data must be provided to
enable reproduction of the results. Accepted papers in categories (A)
and (B) 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/my/conference?conf=tableaux2023

For all accepted papers, at least one author is required to register
for the conference and present the paper. A title and a short abstract
of about 100 words must be submitted before the paper submission
deadline. Formatting instructions and the LNCS style files can be
obtained at:
http://www.springer.com/br/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines

IMPORTANT DATES
Submission of title and abstract: May 9, 2023
Paper submission deadline: May 14, 2023
Notification of acceptance: July 9, 2023
Final version: July 23, 2023
Conference date: September 18-21, 2023

CONFERENCE FORMAT AND COVID-19
TABLEAUX 2023 and FroCoS 2023 are planned as in-person conferences.
However, virtual participation might be a possibility in exceptional
situations.

PUBLICATION
The conference proceedings will be published in the Springer series
Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI/LNCS) as Gold Open
Access under a CC-BY-4.0-license. The open access costs will be
covered from sponsorships and from the registration fees of all
participants.

BEST PAPER AWARDS
The program committee will select
* the TABLEAUX 2023 Best Paper; and,
* the TABLEAUX 2023 Best Paper by a Junior Researcher.

Researchers will be considered "junior" if either they are students or
their PhD degree date is less than two years from the first day of the
meeting. The two awards will be presented at the conference.

TRAVEL GRANTS FOR STUDENTS
Some funding may be available to support students participating at
TABLEAUX 2023. More details will be given on the conference website in
due time.
