        Topics: automated reasoning, implementation, tools


******************************************************************************


PAAR provides a forum for developers of automated reasoning tools to discuss
and compare different implementation techniques, and for users to discuss and
communicate their applications and requirements. The workshop will bring
together different groups to concentrate on practical aspects of the
implementation and application of automated reasoning tools. It will allow
researchers to present their work in progress, and to discuss new
implementation techniques and applications.  

Submission Guidelines
---------------------
Researchers interested in participating are invited to submit either an
extended abstract (up to 8 pages) or a regular paper (up to 15 pages) via
EasyChair at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=paar2018. Submissions 
will be refereed by the program committee, which will select a balanced 
program of high-quality contributions. Short submissions that could stimulate 
fruitful discussion at the workshop are particularly welcome.

Submissions should be prepared in LaTeX using the EasyChair proceedings style. 
The package containing the class file and its user guide and some helper tools 
can be downloaded from http://www.easychair.org/publications/easychair.zip.

Topics include, but are not limited to:
--------------------------------------
* automated reasoning in propositional, first-order, higher-order, and
  non-classical logics;
* implementation of provers (SAT, SMT, resolution, tableau, instantiation-
  based, rewriting, logical frameworks, etc.);
* automated reasoning tools for all kinds of practical problems and
  applications;
* pragmatics of automated reasoning within proof assistants;
* practical experiences, usability aspects, feasibility studies;
* evaluation of implementation techniques and automated reasoning tools;
* performance aspects, benchmarking approaches; non-standard approaches to
  automated reasoning, non*standard forms of automated reasoning, new
  applications;
* implementation techniques, optimisation techniques, strategies and
  heuristics, fairness;
* tools or methods that support prover development;
* system descriptions and demos.
