                    FTP'07 - Call for Papers

                    International Workshop on
                   First-Order Theorem Proving

                    University of Liverpool
                    Liverpool, England (UK)

                     September 12-13, 2007

                http://www.csc.liv.ac.uk/~ftp07/

Scope
------
   The series of FTP workshops focusses on all aspects of theorem
   proving in first-order logic. It aims to be a forum for the
   presentation of original work, and for the discussion of work in
   progress.

   Relevant topics for the workshop include (but are not limited to)

   * theorem proving in first-order classical, many-valued, and modal
     logics, including:
     - satisfiability in propositional logic,
     - satisfiability modulo theories,
     - decision procedures,
     - constraint reasoning,
     - equational reasoning,
     - term rewriting,
     - resolution
     - paramodulation/superposition;

   * strategies and complexity of theorem proving procedures;

   * applications of first-order theorem proving to:
     - program verification,
     - model checking,
     - artificial intelligence,
     - mathematics,
     - computational linguistics.

Previous editions of FTP took place in Schloss Hagenberg, Austria
(1997); Vienna, Austria (1998); St Andrews, Scotland (2000); as part
of IJCAR in Siena, Italy (2001); Valencia, Spain (2003); as part of
IJCAR in Cork, Ireland (2004); and Koblenz, Germany (2005).  For more

Paper Submissions
------------------
   Authors are invited to submit papers in the following categories:

   * Extended abstracts of 5-10 pages describing original results,
     work in progress, or future directions of research.

   * System descriptions of up to 5 pages, describing new systems or
     significant upgrades of existing ones, especially including
     experiments; sources and manuals of systems will have to be
     freely available online.

   Authors are encouraged to use LaTeX and the standard article
   class/style file (10pt or 11pt).  The first page should contain the
   title, the authors' names, e-mail and postal addresses.

   Submissions should be made via Easychair at the following address:

                     http://www.easychair.org/FTP07/

   Submissions will be reviewed by at least two referees, possibly
   more, and will be evaluated on their significance, technical merit,
   and relevance to the workshop.

Publication
------------
   Accepted submissions will be published as a technical report of the
   University of Liverpool and will be distribted at the workshop.
   They will also be available on the web.

   As for the previous editions of FTP, a journal special issue is
   planned after the workshop.  The submission will be open to papers
   on First-Order Theorem Proving.
