      FTP'2005 workshop             September 15-17, 2005

Scope:
   The series of FTP workshops is intended to focus on First-Order
   Theorem Proving as a core theme of Automated Deduction, and to 
   provide a forum for presentation of recent work and discussion 
   of research in progress.
   The workshop welcomes original contributions on:
   * theorem proving in first-order classical, many-valued, and modal
     logics, including:
     - resolution,
     - tableau methods,
     - equational reasoning,
     - term rewriting,
     - model construction,
     - constraint reasoning,
     - unification,
     - description logics,
     - propositional logic,
     - specialized decision procedures,
   * strategies and complexity of theorem proving procedures,
   * applications of first-order theorem provers, for example to:
     - verification,
     - artificial intelligence,
     - mathematics,
     - education.
   The previous international workshops on First-Order Theorem Proving
   were held at Schloss Hagenberg (Austria, 1997), Vienna (Austria,
   1998), St Andrews (Scotland, 2000), Valencia (Spain, 2003).  
   In 2001 and 2004, FTP was part of the IJCAR Conferences, held in 
   Siena (Italy) and Cork (Ireland), respectively.
