CALL FOR ABSTRACTS AND STUDENT TRAVEL GRANT APPLICATIONS

GENERAL INFORMATION

The 25th Automated Reasoning Workshop (ARW 2018) will take place at the
University of Cambridge on 12-13 April 2018.

INVITED SPEAKERS

Ekaterina Komendantskaya (Heriot-Watt University)
Lawrence Paulson (University of Cambridge)

SCOPE

The workshop provides an informal forum for the automated reasoning community to
discuss recent work, new ideas and applications, and current trends. It aims to
bring together researchers from all areas of automated reasoning in order to
foster links among researchers from various disciplines; among theoreticians,
implementers and users alike.

Topics include but are not limited to:

- Theorem proving in classical and non-classical logics;
- Interactive theorem proving, logical frameworks, proof assistants, proof
  planning
- Reasoning methods:
    * Saturation-based, instantiation-based, tableau, SAT
    * Equational reasoning, unification
    * Constraint satisfaction
    * Decision procedures, SMT
    * Combining reasoning systems
    * Non-monotonic reasoning, commonsense reasoning
    * Abduction, induction
    * Model checking, model generation, explanation
- Formal methods to specifying, deriving, transforming and verifying computer
systems, requirements and software
- Logic-based knowledge representation and reasoning:
    * Ontology engineering and reasoning
    * Domain specific reasoning (spatial, temporal, epistemic,agents, etc)
- Logic and functional programming, deductive databases
- Implementation issues and empirical results, demos
- Machine learning and automated reasoning systems
- Practical experience and applications of automated reasoning

The workshop will be highly interactive, giving all attendees an opportunity to
participate. There will be sessions for displaying posters and open discussion
sessions organised around specific topics such as "Automated Reasoning and
Artificial Intelligence???????.

SUBMISSIONS

We invite the submission of camera-ready, two-page extended abstracts about
recent work, work in progress, or a system description.  The abstract can
describe work that has already been published elsewhere. The main objective of
the abstracts is to spread information about recent work in our community, and
we expect to accept most on-topic submissions, but we may ask for revisions.

To prepare your submission, please use the ARW LaTeX style file provided from
the workshop website. Each submission should include the names and complete
addresses (including email) of all authors.  For the final versions we require
all sources (TeX file and any input files).

Please send your submissions via EasyChair at
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=arw2018
<https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=arw2018>. Correspondence will be sent
to corresponding authors indicated on EasyChair.

PUBLICATION DETAILS

Abstracts will be published in informal workshop notes and will be made
available on the workshop page. After the workshop we are hoping to solicit
inaugural 25th anniversary of ARW articles for publication.

PRESENTATIONS

Each workshop participant will be asked to give a short talk (around 10 minutes
depending on time constraints) to introduce their research. Each participant
will also be allocated space in a poster session (poster size up to A0), where
they can further present and discuss their work. Please prepare posters for the
event.

STUDENT GRANTS

We have a limited number of grants available to support PhD students in
attending the event. If you are interested, please refer to the workshop website
for details. The deadline to apply for student grants is 1 March 2018.
