GENERAL INFORMATION

This conference is a continuation of international meetings on
Automated Reasoning with Analytic Tableaux and Related Methods held in
Lautenbach near Karlsruhe (1992), Marseille (1993), Abingdon near
Oxford (1994), St Goar near Koblenz (1995), Terrasini near Palermo
(1996), Pont-a-Mousson near Nancy (1997), Oisterwijk near Tilburg
(1998), Saratoga Springs, NY (1999), St Andrews (2000), and
Copenhagen (2002). In 2001 TABLEAUX was part of IJCAR 2001 in Siena.

In September 2003, the conference will be held in Rome, Italy.  The
proceedings will again be published in Springer's LNAI series.

See the main TABLEAUX page for general details about this series of
meetings: it is at http://i12www.ira.uka.de/TABLEAUX/

The International Conference on Theorem Proving in Higher Order Logics
(TPHOLs 2003) and the 11th Symposium on the Integration of Symbolic
Computation and Mechanized Reasoning (Calculemus 2003) will also be
held in Rome in the same period, with opportunities for joint
registration.


TOPICS

Tableau methods are a convenient formalism for automating deduction in
various non-standard logics as well as in classical logic. Areas of
application include verification of software and computer systems,
deductive databases, knowledge representation and its required
inference engines, and system diagnosis.  The conference brings
together researchers interested in all aspects -- theoretical
foundations, implementation techniques, systems development and
applications -- of the mechanization of reasoning with tableaux and
related methods.

Topics of interest include (but are not restricted to):

  *   analytic tableaux for various logics (theory and applications)
  *   related techniques and concepts, e.g., model checking and BDDs
  *   related methods (model elimination, sequent
	calculi, connection method, ...)
  *   new calculi and methods for theorem proving in classical and
	non-classical logics
	(modal, description, intuitionistic, linear, temporal, ...)
  *   systems, tools, implementations and applications (e.g. verification)

One or more TUTORIALS will be part of the conference program.


SUBMISSIONS

The conference will include contributed papers, tutorials, system
descriptions, position papers and invited lectures. Submissions are
invited in four categories:

A	Research papers (reporting original theoretical and/or 
		experimental research, up to 15 pages),
B	System descriptions (up to 5 pages),
C	Position papers and brief reports on work in progress
D	Tutorials in all areas of analytic tableaux and related
		methods from academic research to applications
		(proposals up to 5 pages).


Submissions in categories A and B will be reviewed by peers, typically
members of the program committee.  They must be unpublished and not
submitted for publication elsewhere. The cover page should include the
title, the name, address, e-mail address and phone number of each
author and the submission category. Accepted papers in these
categories will be published in the conference proceedings.

Submissions in category C will be reviewed by members of the program
committee and accepted papers in this category will be available as
Technical Report of Dipartimento di Informatica e Automazione,
Universita` di Roma Tre.

Tutorial submissions (Category D) may be at introductory,
intermediate, or advanced levels. Novel topics and topics of broad
interest are preferred. The submission should include the title, the
author, the topic of the tutorial, its level, its relevance to
conference topics, and a description of the interest and the
scientific contents of the proposed tutorial. Tutorial proposals will
be reviewed by members of the program committee.  They must be
submitted by email, to cialdea at dia.uniroma3.it, in either plain text
or in PS/PDF format. PS/PDF submissions should be sent as attachments.
