FroCoS 2019
The 12th International Symposium on Frontiers of Combining Systems
London, UK, September 4-6, 2019
Website: https://www.frocos2019.org
Contact: chair(a)frocos2019.org
Submission deadlines: 21 Apr 2019 (abstract), 24 Apr 2019 (paper)
GENERAL INFORMATION
The 12th International Symposium on Frontiers of Combining Systems (FroCoS 2019) will take place in London. It will be hosted by the Department of Computer Science at the Middlesex University London, from 4 to 6 September 2019.
FroCoS is the main international event for research on the development of techniques 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 has been organized annually with alternate 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 Automated Reasoning with Analytic Tableaux and Related Methods (TABLEAUX 2019). The two conferences will provide a rich programme of workshops, tutorials, invited talks, paper presentations and system descriptions.
SCOPE OF CONFERENCE
In various areas of computer science, such as logic, computation, program development and verification, artificial intelligence, knowledge representation, and automated reasoning, there is an obvious need for using specialized formalisms and inference systems for selected tasks. To be usable in practice, these specialized systems must be combined with each other and integrated into general purpose systems. This has led to the development of techniques and methods for the combination and integration of dedicated formal systems, as well as for their modularization and analysis.
FroCoS traditionally focuses on these types of research questions and activities. Like its predecessors, FroCoS 2019 seeks to offer a common forum for research in the general area of combination, modularization, and integration 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, modal, description or other non-classical logics)
* combination and integration methods in SAT and SMT solving
* combination of decision procedures, satisfiability procedures, 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 propagation
* hybrid systems in knowledge representation and natural language semantics
* combined logics for distributed and multi-agent systems
* logical aspects of combining and modularizing programs and specifications
* integration of data structures into constraint logic programming 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

GENERAL INFORMATION
The 28th International Conference on Automated Reasoning with Analytic Tableaux and Related Methods (TABLEAUX 2019) will take place in London. It will be hosted by the Department of Computer Science at the Middlesex University London, on 3-5 September 2019.
TABLEAUX is the main international conference at which research on all aspects -- theoretical foundations, implementation techniques, systems development and applications -- of the mechanization 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 organized on an annual basis; in 2001, 2004, 2006, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2014, 2016 and 2018 as a constituent of IJCAR.
TABLEAUX 2019 will be co-located with the 12th International Symposium on Frontiers of Combining Systems (FroCoS 2019). The conferences will provide a rich programme of workshops, tutorials, invited talks, paper presentations and system descriptions.
SCOPE OF CONFERENCE
Tableau methods offer a convenient and flexible set of tools for automated reasoning in classical logic, extensions of classical logic, and a large number of non-classical logics. For many logics, tableau methods can be generated automatically. 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, substructural, fuzzy, relevance and non-monotonic logics) and their proof-theoretic foundations;
* sequent calculi and natural deduction 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.);
* extensions of tableau procedures with conflict-driven learning;
* techniques for proof generation and compact (or humanly 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 tableau community and should focus on the role of reasoning and on logical aspects of the solution.
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Submissions are invited in three categories:
(A) research papers reporting original theoretical research or applications, with length up to 15 pages excluding references;
(B) system descriptions, with length up to 9 pages excluding references;
(C) position papers and brief reports on work in progress, with length up to 9 pages excluding references.
Submissions will be reviewed by the PC, possibly with the help of external reviewers, taking into account readability, relevance and originality. Any additional material (going beyond the page limit) can be included in a clearly marked appendix, which will be read at the discretion of the committee and must be removed for the camera-ready version.
For category A submissions, the reported results must be original and not submitted for publication elsewhere. For category B submissions, a working implementation must be accessible via the internet. Authors are encouraged to publish the implementation under an open source license. The aim of a system description is to make the system available in such a way that people can use it, understand it, and build on it. Accepted papers in categories A and B will be published in the conference proceedings. Accepted papers in category C will be published as a Technical Report of the Middlesex University London.
Papers must be edited in LaTeX using the llncs style and must be submitted electronically as PDF files via the EasyChair system: http://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tableaux2019
For all accepted papers at least one author is required to attend 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-gui…

Final Call for Talks and Papers
WiL 2019: 3rd Women in Logic Workshop
Vancouver, Canada
23 June 2019
https://sites.google.com/site/womeninlogic2019/home
** New dates including extended submission deadline: 21 April 2019
Affiliated with the Thirty-Fourth Annual ACM/IEEE Symposium on Logic in
Computer Science (LICS), 24-27 June 2019 (https://lics.siglog.org/lics19/).
We are holding the third Women in Logic Workshop (WiL 2019) as a LICS
associated workshop on 23 June 2019. The workshop follows the pattern
of meetings such as Women in Machine Learning (WiML,
wimlworkshop.org/) or Women in Engineering (WIE,
www.ieee-ras.org/membership/women-in-engineering) that have been
taking place for quite a few years.
Women are chronically underrepresented in the LiCS community. The
workshop will provide an opportunity for women in the field to
increase awareness of one another and one another’s work, to combat
the feeling of isolation. It will also provide an environment where
women can present to an audience comprising mostly women, replicating
the experience that most men have at most LiCS meetings, and lowering
the stress of the occasion; we hope that this will be particularly
attractive to early-career women.
Previous versions of Women in Logic (Reykjavik, Iceland 2017 and
Oxford, UK 2018) were very successful in showcasing women's work and
as catalysts for recognition of the need for change in the
community. Our extended program committee tries to cover most areas of
Logic in Computer Science. These include but are not limited to the
usual Logic in Computer Science (LICS) topics. These are: automata
theory, automated deduction, categorical models and logics,
concurrency and distributed computation, constraint programming,
constructive mathematics, database theory, decision procedures,
description logics, domain theory, finite model theory, formal aspects
of program analysis, formal methods, foundations of computability,
games and logic, higher-order logic, lambda and combinatory calculi,
linear logic, logic in artificial intelligence, logic programming,
logical aspects of bioinformatics, logical aspects of computational
complexity, logical aspects of quantum computation, logical
frameworks, logics of programs, modal and temporal logics, model
checking, probabilistic systems, process calculi, programming language
semantics, proof theory, real-time systems, reasoning about security
and privacy, rewriting, type systems and type theory, and
verification.
