****************************************************************************** PAAR-2020: 7TH WORKSHOP ON PRACTICAL ASPECTS OF AUTOMATED REASONING June 30th, 2020, Paris, France Web site: http://paar2020.gforge.inria.fr/ Submission link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=paar2020 Abstract registration deadline: April 8, 2020 (tentative) Submission deadline: April 15, 2020 (tentative) Topics: automated reasoning, implementation, tools ****************************************************************************** The automation of logical reasoning is a challenge that has been studied intensively in fields including mathematics, philosophy, and computer science. PAAR is the workshop on turning this theory into practice: how can automated reasoning tools be built that work and are useful in applications? PAAR covers all aspects of this challenge: which theories, logics, or fragments are well- behaved in practice, and connect well to application domains; which reasoning tasks are tractable and useful; which algorithms are able to solve real-world instances; how should automated reasoning tools be designed, implemented, tested, and evaluated? The goal of PAAR is to bring together theoreticians, tool developers, and users, to concentrate on the practical aspects of automated reasoning. The workshop welcomes high-quality contributions of any kind, including new research results, presentation of work in progress, presentation of new tools, new implementation techniques, new application domains, or case studies. 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=paar2020. 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, superposition, 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, machine learning, strategies and heuristics, fairness; * tools or methods that support prover development; * system descriptions and demos.
