TABLEAUX 2021
The 30th International Conference on Automated Reasoning with Analytic Tableaux and Related Methods
Birmingham, UK, September 6-9, 2021
Website: <https://tableaux2021.org/> https://tableaux2021.org/
Submission deadlines: 19 April (abstract), 26 April 2021 (paper)
GENERAL INFORMATION
The 30th International Conference on Automated Reasoning with Analytic Tableaux and Related Methods (TABLEAUX 2021) will be hosted by the University of Birmingham, UK, 6-9 September 2021.
TABLEAUX is the main international conference at which research on all aspects -- theoretical foundations, implementation techniques, systems development and applications -- 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 organised on an annual basis (sometimes as a part of IJCAR).
TABLEAUX 2021 will be co-located with the 13th International Symposium on Frontiers of Combining Systems (FroCoS 2021). The conferences will provide a rich programme of workshops, tutorials, invited talks, paper presentations and system descriptions.
SCOPE OF CONFERENCE
Tableaux and other proof based methods offer convenient and flexible tools for automated reasoning for both classical and non-classical logics. 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, linear, substructural, fuzzy, relevance and non-monotonic logics) and their proof-theoretic foundations;
* sequent, natural deduction, labelled, nested and deep 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 TABLEAUX community and should focus on the role of reasoning and on logical aspects of the solution.
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Submissions are invited in the following two 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.
There will also be a later call inviting position papers and brief reports on work-in-progress. Details will be kept up to date on the website.
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.
Papers must be edited in LaTeX using the llncs style and must be submitted electronically as PDF files via the EasyChair system:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tableaux21
For all accepted papers at least one author is required to register to 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…
IMPORTANT DATES
Abstract submission: 19 April 2021 (AoE)
Paper submission: 26 April 2021 (AoE)
Notification: 14 June 2021
Conference: 6-9 September 2021
CONFERENCE FORMAT AND COVID-19
TABLEAUX 2021 and FroCoS 2021 are intended to be *hybrid* conferences welcoming both physical and virtual participation. The organisers are closely monitoring the pandemic situation and may choose to make the conference virtual-only if it seems unreasonable to host any sort of physical event. A final decision will be taken before the notification date 14 June (12 weeks before the conference) to leave ample time for potential travel plans to be made.
PUBLICATION
The conference proceedings will be published in the Springer series Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI/LNCS).
BEST PAPER AWARDS
The program committee will select
* the TABLEAUX 2021 Best Paper; and,
* the TABLEAUX 2021 Best Paper by a Junior Researcher.
Researchers will be considered "junior" if either they are students or their PhD degree date is less than two years from the first day of the meeting. The two awards will be presented at the conference.
TRAVEL GRANTS FOR STUDENTS
Some funding may be available to support students participating at TABLEAUX 2021. More details will be given on the conference website in due time.

WiL 2021: 5th Women in Logic Workshop
June 27, 2021
part of LICS 2021
https://sites.google.com/g.uporto.pt/wil2021
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Women in Logic 2021 is a satellite event of the 36th Annual ACM/IEEE
Symposium on Logic in Computer Science (LICS’21) to be held virtually
on June 29-July 2, 2021.
The Women in Logic workshop (WiL) provides an opportunity to increase
awareness of the valuable contributions made by women in the area of
logic in computer science. Its main purpose is to promote the excellent
research done by women, with the ultimate goal of increasing their
visibility and representation in the community. Our aim is to:
- provide a platform for female researchers to share their work and
achievements;
- increase the feelings of community and belonging, especially among
junior faculty, post-docs and students through positive interactions
with peers and more established faculty;
- establish new connections and collaborations;
- foster a welcoming culture of mutual support and growth within the
logic research community.
We believe these aspects will benefit women working in logic and computer
science, particularly early-career researchers.
Previous versions of Women in Logic (Reykjavík, Iceland 2017,
Oxford, UK 2018, Vancouver, Canada 2019, and Paris, France 2020)
were very successful in showcasing women's work and as catalysts for a
recognition of the need for change in the community.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to: 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.

== SCOPE AND TOPICS
The EXPRESS/SOS workshop series aims at bringing together researchers
interested in the formal semantics of systems and programming
concepts, and in the expressiveness of computational models.
Topics of interest for EXPRESS/SOS 2021 include, but are not limited to:
- expressiveness and rigorous comparisons between models of
computation (process algebras, event structures, Petri nets, rewrite
systems)
- expressiveness and rigorous comparisons between programming
languages and models (distributed, component-based, object-oriented,
service-oriented);
- logics for concurrency (modal logics, probabilistic and stochastic
logics, temporal logics and resource logics);
- analysis techniques for concurrent systems;
- theory of structural operational semantics (meta-theory,
category-theoretic approaches, congruence results);
- comparisons between structural operational semantics and other
formal semantic approaches;
- applications and case studies of structural operational semantics;
- software tools that automate, or are based on, structural
operational semantics.
We especially welcome contributions bridging the gap between the above
topics and neighbouring areas, such as, for instance:
- computer security
- multi-agent systems
- programming languages
- formal verification
- reversible computation
- knowledge representation
== SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:
We invite two types of submissions:
* Full papers (up to 15 pages, excluding references).
* Short papers (up to 5 pages, excluding references, not included in

SIAS 2021 CFP
The needs of our daily life push forward modern systems to be well connected
more user independent, autonomous, and smart. Intelligent and Autonomous
Systems (IAS), that support IoT and CPS, facilitate difficult daily tasks in
large eras of applications, especially in industry where a large amount of
collected data should be efficiently analyzed in order to be optimally
exploited. IAS offer a great importance and promising outcomes with a direct
impact on a society safety, productivity, and development. The difficulty
arises on both sides of either developing new IAS or enhancing the deployed
ones with the needed features and capabilities. IAS run on different
environments and should follow different standards that make it difficult to
ensure IAS requirements. Many solutions were developed in academia and
applied by industrial to build a smart and autonomous system. Some of them
rely on formal methods and system engineering whereas others look forward on
big data and data analysis using mainly artificial intelligence techniques,
in addition to other research areas such as networking, security,
resiliency, etc. SIAS2021 provides a platform for professionals from
academia, government, and industry to discuss how to address the increasing
challenges facing IAS.

SPECIAL SESSION: SCREENING OF MOVIES ABOUT MATHEMATICIANS
It is planned to have a special session with the exhibition of a one-hour
documentary film about a remarkable mathematician whose contributions were
recognized with a Fields Medal just a few years before her untimely death.
It is a joint production (still on its course) of The Mathematical Sciences
Research Institute (MSRI) and George Csicsery (Zala Films): ‘Secrets of the
Surface - The Mathematical Vision of Maryam Mirzakhani’. “The biographical
film is about Maryam Mirzakhani, a brilliant woman, and Muslim immigrant to
the United States who became a superstar in her field. The story of her
life will be complemented with sections about Mirzakhani’s mathematical
contributions, as explained by colleagues and illustrated with animated
sequences. Throughout, we will look for clues about the sources of
Mirzakhani’s insights and creativity." (http://www.zalafilms.com/secrets/)

SIAS 2021 CFP
The needs of our daily life push forward modern systems to be well connected
more user independent, autonomous, and smart. Intelligent and Autonomous
Systems (IAS), that support IoT and CPS, facilitate difficult daily tasks in
large eras of applications, especially in industry where a large amount of
collected data should be efficiently analyzed in order to be optimally
exploited. IAS offer a great importance and promising outcomes with a direct
impact on a society safety, productivity, and development. The difficulty
arises on both sides of either developing new IAS or enhancing the deployed
ones with the needed features and capabilities. IAS run on different
environments and should follow different standards that make it difficult to
ensure IAS requirements. Many solutions were developed in academia and
applied by industrial to build a smart and autonomous system. Some of them
rely on formal methods and system engineering whereas others look forward on
big data and data analysis using mainly artificial intelligence techniques,
in addition to other research areas such as networking, security,
resiliency, etc. SIAS2021 provides a platform for professionals from
academia, government, and industry to discuss how to address the increasing
challenges facing IAS.
