CALL FOR PAPERS

IJCAR 2020
The 10th International Joint Conference on Automated Reasoning
Paris, France, June 29-July 5, 2020
https://ijcar2020.org

====================================================================


IJCAR is the premier international joint conference on all topics in
automated reasoning. The IJCAR 2020 technical program will consist of
presentations of high-quality original research papers, short papers
describing interesting work in progress, system descriptions,
and invited talks. IJCAR 2020 (+ workshops, tutorials etc) will take
place in Paris (France) from June 29 to July 5 2020.
It will be co-located with the conference FSCD.

IJCAR 2020 is the merger of leading events in automated reasoning:
* CADE (Conference on Automated Deduction)
* FroCoS (Symposium on Frontiers of Combining Systems)
* ITP (International Conference on Interactive Theorem Proving)
* TABLEAUX (Conference on Analytic Tableaux and Related Methods)

TOPICS
======

IJCAR 2020 invites submissions related to all aspects of automated or
interactive reasoning, including foundations, implementations,
and applications. Original research papers and descriptions of
working automated deduction systems or proof assistants are solicited.

IJCAR topics include the following ones:

* Logics of interest include: propositional, first-order, classical,
equational, higher-order, non-classical, constructive, modal,
temporal, many-valued, substructural, description, type theory.

* Methods of interest include: tableaux, sequent calculi, resolution,
model-elimination, inverse method, paramodulation, term rewriting,
induction, unification, constraint solving, decision procedures,
model generation, model checking, semantic guidance, interactive
theorem proving, logical frameworks, AI-related methods for
deductive systems, proof presentation, automated theorem proving,
combination of decision or proof procedures, SAT and SMT solving,
integration of proof assistants with automated provers and other
symbolic tools, etc.

* Applications of interest include: verification, formal methods,
program analysis and synthesis, computer mathematics,
declarative programming, deductive databases, knowledge
representation, education, formalization of mathematics etc.

The proceedings of IJCAR 2020 will be published by Springer in
the LNAI/LNCS series (www.springer.com/lncs).

* Rebuttal: March 6-10 2020

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
=====================

Submission is electronic, through
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ijcar2020

Authors are strongly encouraged to use LaTeX and the Springer "llncs"
format, which can be obtained from
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html

We solicit three categories of submissions:

REGULAR PAPERS.
Submissions, not exceeding fifteen (15) pages excluding bibliography,
should contain original research, and sufficient detail to assess the
merits and relevance of the contribution. For papers reporting
experimental results, authors are strongly encouraged to make their data
and software available with their submission for reproducibility.
In particular submissions describing formal proofs are expected to be
accompanied by the source files of the formalization.
The PC will take availability of software and data into account when
evaluating submissions. Submissions reporting on case studies in an
industrial context are strongly invited, and should describe details,
weaknesses and strength in sufficient depth.
Simultaneous submission to other conferences with proceedings or submission
of material that has already been published elsewhere is not allowed.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTIONS.
Submissions, not exceeding seven (7) pages excluding bibliography,
should describe the implemented tool and its novel features.
One author is expected to be able to perform a demonstration on demand
to accompany a tool presentation. Papers describing tools that have
already been presented in other conferences before will be accepted
only if significant and clear enhancements to the tool are reported
and implemented.

SHORT PAPERS.
Submissions, not exceeding five (5) pages excluding bibliography, and
describing interesting work in progress. Such a preliminary report may
consist of an extended abstract. Each of these papers should bear the
phrase “(short paper)” beneath the title. Accepted submissions in this
category will be presented as short talks and published in the main
proceedings. There will be no downgrading from regular papers or
system descriptions to short papers.


All submissions should meet high academic standards;
proofs of theoretical results that do not fit in the page limit,
executables of systems, and input data of experiments
should be made available, via a reference to a website or
in an appendix of the paper.


BEST PAPER AWARD
================

IJCAR 2020 will recognize the most outstanding submission with
a best paper award at the conference.


STUDENT TRAVEL AWARDS
====================

Woody Bledsoe Travel Awards will be available to support selected
students in attending the conference.


SPECIAL ISSUE
=============

The authors of a selection of the best IJCAR 2020 papers will be
invited to submit an extended version of their paper after the
conference, to be published in a special issue of Logical Methods
in Computer Science.
