It will be hosted by the Department of Com= puter Science at the Middlesex University London, from 4 to 6 September 201= 9. FroCoS is the main international event for research on the development of t= echniques and methods for the combination and integration of formal systems= , their modularization and analysis. The first FroCoS symposium was held in= Munich, Germany, in 1996. Initially held every two years, since 2004 it ha= s been organized annually with alternate years forming part of IJCAR. If we= also count the IJCAR editions, this year FroCoS celebrates its 20th editio= n. FroCoS 2019 will be co-located with the 28th International Conference on Au= tomated Reasoning with Analytic Tableaux and Related Methods (TABLEAUX 2019= ). The two conferences will provide a rich programme of workshops, tutorial= s, invited talks, paper presentations and system descriptions. SCOPE OF CONFERENCE In various areas of computer science, such as logic, computation, program d= evelopment and verification, artificial intelligence, knowledge representat= ion, and automated reasoning, there is an obvious need for using specialize= d formalisms and inference systems for selected tasks. To be usable in prac= tice, these specialized systems must be combined with each other and integr= ated into general purpose systems. This has led to the development of techn= iques and methods for the combination and integration of dedicated formal s= ystems, as well as for their modularization and analysis. FroCoS traditionally focuses on these types of research questions and activ= ities. Like its predecessors, FroCoS 2019 seeks to offer a common forum for= research in the general area of combination, modularization, and integrati= on of systems, with emphasis on logic-based methods and their practical use= . Topics of interest for FroCoS 2019 include (but are not restricted to): * combinations of logics (such as higher-order, first-order, temporal, m= odal, description or other non-classical logics) * combination and integration methods in SAT and SMT solving * combination of decision procedures, satisfiability procedures, constra= int solving techniques, or logical frameworks * combination of logics with probability and/or fuzzy measures * 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 semant= ics * combined logics for distributed and multi-agent systems * logical aspects of combining and modularizing programs and specificati= ons * integration of data structures into constraint logic programming and d= eduction * combinations and modularity in term rewriting * methods and techniques for the verification and analysis of informatio= n systems * methods and techniques for combining logical reasoning with machine le= arning SUBMISSION GUIDELINES The program committee seeks high-quality submissions describing original wo= rk, written in English, not overlapping with published or simultaneously su= bmitted work to a journal or conference with archival proceedings. Selectio= n criteria include accuracy and originality of ideas, clarity and significa= nce of results, and quality of presentation. The page limit in Springer LNC= S style is 16 pages in total, including references and figures. Any additional material (going beyond the page limit) can be included in a = clearly marked appendix. This appendix will be read at the discretion of th= e committee, and must be removed for the camera-ready version. Papers must be edited in LaTeX using the llncs style and must be submitted = electronically as PDF files via EasyChair at https://easychair.org/conferen= ces/?conf=3Dfrocos2019 For each accepted paper, at least one of the authors is required to attend = the conference and present the work. Prospective authors must register a ti= tle and an abstract three days 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 Abstract submission: 21 Apr 2019 Paper submission: 24 Apr 2019 Notification of paper decisions: 6 Jun 2019 Camera-ready papers due: 1 Jul 2019 FroCoS conference: 4-6 Sep 2019 PUBLICATION DETAILS The conference proceedings will be published in the Springer series Lecture= Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI/LNCS). BEST PAPER AWARD The program committee will select the FroCoS 2019 Best Paper, which will be= awarded 500 Euros. The award will be presented at the conference. TRAVEL GRANTS FOR STUDENTS Some funding will be available to support students traveling to FroCoS 2019= . More details will be given on the conference website in due time.

The first FroCoS symposium was held in= Munich, Germany, in 1996. Initially held every two years, since 2004 it has been organized annually with alter= nate years forming part of IJCAR. If we also count the IJCAR editions, this= year FroCoS celebrates its 20th edition.
FroCoS 2019 will be co-located with the 28th International Conference on Au= tomated Reasoning with Analytic Tableaux and Related Methods (TABLEAUX 2019= ). The two conferences will provide a rich programme of workshops, tutorial= s, invited talks, paper presentations and system descriptions.

SCOPE OF CONFERENCE 
In various areas of computer science, such as logic, computation, program d= evelopment and verification, artificial intelligence, knowledge representat= ion, and automated reasoning, there is an obvious need for using specialize= d formalisms and inference systems for selected tasks. To be usable in practice, these specialized systems mu= st be combined with each other and integrated into general purpose systems.= This has led to the development of techniques and methods for the combinat= ion and integration of dedicated formal systems, as well as for their modularization and analysis.
FroCoS traditionally focuses on these types of research questions and activ= ities. Like its predecessors, FroCoS 2019 seeks to offer a common forum for= research in the general area of combination, modularization, and integrati= on of systems, with emphasis on logic-based methods and their practical use.
Topics of interest for FroCoS 2019 include (but are not restricted to):&nbs= p;
   * combinations of logics (such as higher-order, first-order, t= emporal, modal, description or other non-classical logics)  
   * combination and integration methods in SAT and SMT solving &= nbsp;  
   * combination of decision procedures, satisfiability procedure= s, constraint solving techniques, or logical frameworks
   * combination of logics with probability and/or fuzzy measures=   
   * combinations and modularity in ontologies
   * integration of equational and other theories into deductive = systems
   * hybrid methods for deduction, resolution and constraint prop= agation
   * hybrid systems in knowledge representation and natural langu= age semantics
   * combined logics for distributed and multi-agent systems
   * logical aspects of combining and modularizing programs and s= pecifications
   * integration of data structures into constraint logic program= ming and deduction
   * combinations and modularity in term rewriting
   * methods and techniques for the verification and analysis of = information systems
   * methods and techniques for combining logical reasoning with = machine learning

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES 
The program committee seeks high-quality submissions describing original wo= rk, written in English, not overlapping with published or simultaneously su= bmitted work to a journal or conference with archival proceedings. Selectio= n criteria include accuracy and originality of ideas, clarity and significance of results, and quality of = presentation. The page limit in Springer LNCS style is 16 pages in total, i= ncluding references and figures.
Any additional material (going beyond the page limit) can be included in a = clearly marked appendix. This appendix will be read at the discretion of th= e committee, and must be removed for the camera-ready version. 
Papers must be edited in LaTeX using the llncs style and must be submitted = electronically as PDF files via EasyChair at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=3Dfrocos2019 
For each accepted paper, at least one of the authors is required to attend = the conference and present the work. Prospective authors must register a ti= tle and an abstract three days before the paper submission deadline. <= br> Formatting instructions and the LNCS style files can be obtained at http://= www.springer.com/br/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines=
