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. 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.
