                            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).

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. Submissions in this 
category should bear the phrase "(system description)" beneath the title. 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 
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.
