MOTIVATION

Non-classical logics - such as modal logics, conditional logics,
intuitionistic logic, description logics, temporal logics, linear
logic, dynamic logic, deontic logics, fuzzy logic, paraconsistent
logic, relevance logic - have many applications in AI, Computer
Science, Philosophy, Linguistics, and Mathematics. Hence, the
automation of proof search in these logics is a crucial task.

AIMS AND SCOPE

The ARQNL workshop aims at fostering the development of proof
calculi, automated theorem proving systems and model finders for
all sorts of quantified non-classical logics. The workshop will
provide a forum for researchers to present and discuss recent
developments in this area. The contributions may range from theory
to system descriptions and implementations. Contributions may also
outline relevant applications, describe problem formalizations,
example problems, and benchmarks. We welcome contributions from
computer scientists, linguists, philosophers, and mathematicians.

Topics of the ARQNL workshop will cover all aspects related to the
automation of quantified non-classical logics, including but not
limited to:

* Proof theory, semantics, meta theory, and cut-elimination
* Proof search calculi, including sequent calculi, tableau calculi,
  connection calculi, resolution calculi, and instance-based calculi
* Modal logic, conditional logic, intuitionistic logic, description
  logic, temporal logic, linear logic, multivalued logic, dynamic
  logic, deontic logic, fuzzy logic, paraconsistent logic, relevance
  logic, free logic, and natural logic
* Techniques, strategies and heuristics to deal with first-order or
  higher-order quantification
* Implementation of theorem provers and experimental evaluations
* Problem libraries and benchmarking for theorem provers
* Applications, formalizations, and example problems
* User interfaces, proof representation, and syntax issues

ARQNL 2018 is associated with IJCAR 2018, the International Joint
Conference on Automated Reasoning, which is part of FLoC.

PAPER SUBMISSIONS

Submissions of papers are solicited in two categories:
* Full papers (up to 15 pages)
* Short papers, talk abstracts, system demonstrations (up to 8 pages)

Submission is electronically, through EasyChair (see the ARQNL
website for further details). Submissions will be refereed by the
programme committee, and evaluated with respect to relevance,
originality, and correctness. Proceedings will be published in the
CEUR Workshop Proceedings (CEURWS) or the EasyChair Proceedings in
Computing (EPiC) series. They will also be included on the FLoC USB
flash drive distributed to all participants. We will also consider
producing a special issue of a recognized journal on the topic of
the workshop.
