======================================================================== %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %% Call for Papers, Call for Tutorials and %% %% Call for Workshop Proposals %% %% %% %% TABLEAUX 2007 %% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% International Conference TABLEAUX 2007 Automated Reasoning with Analytic Tableaux and Related Methods Aix en Provence, France 3-6 July 2007 http://tableaux2007.univ-cezanne.fr/ IMPORTANT DATES Tutorial proposal submission deadline: January 10, 2007 Notification of acceptance of tutorials: January 20, 2007 Workshop proposal submission deadline: January 31, 2007 Notification of acceptance of workshops: February 15, 2007 Title and abstract submission deadline: February 2, 2007 Paper submission deadline: February 9, 2007 Notification of acceptance of papers: April 2, 2007 Final version of papers due: April 16, 2007 Conference: July 3-6, 2007 GENERAL INFORMATION This conference is the 16th in a series of international meetings on Automated Reasoning with Analytic Tableaux and Related Methods. In July 2007, the conference will be held in Aix en Provence, France. The conference proceedings will be published in LNAI series as in the previous editions of the conference. See http://tableaux2007.univ-cezanne.fr/ for more information on TABLEAUX 2007, and http://i12www.ira.uka.de/TABLEAUX for information about the TABLEAUX conference series. 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, many-valued...) * systems, tools, implementations and applications. TABLEAUX 2007 puts a special emphasis on applications. Papers describing applications of tableaux and related methods in areas such as, for example, hardware and software verification, knowledge engineering, semantic web, etc. are particularly invited. One or more tutorials and workshops 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. Accepted papers in these categories will be published in the conference proceedings . For category B submissions a working implementation must exist and be available to the referees. Submissions in category C will be reviewed by members of the program committee and a collection of the accepted papers in this category will be published as a Technical Report of the LSIS/Université Paul Cézanne. 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. Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their work at the conference. CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS TABLEAUX 2007 launches a Call for Workshop Proposal on specialised subjects in the range of the conference topics. We can accept up to 2 proposals. The proposals are reviewed by members of the PC committee. The purpose of a workshop is to offer an opportunity of presenting novel ideas, ongoing research, and to discuss the state of the art of an area in a less formal but more focused way than the conference itself. It is also a good opportunity for young researchers to present their own work and to obtain feedback. The format of a workshop is left to the organizers, but it is expected to contain significant time for discussion. The intended schedule is for one-day workshops. Further information and instructions about submissions will be available on the conference website at http://tableaux2007.univ-cezanne.fr/.

We apologize for multiple copies of this Call.
================================================================ First Call for Papers SymCon'07 The Seventh International Workshop on Symmetry and Constraint Satisfaction Problems (http://www.cmi.univ-mrs.fr/~benhamou/symcon07/) To be held at the Thirteenth International Conference on Principles and Practice of Constraint Programming (CP 2007) Providence, RI, USA September 23rd 2007 ================================================================ WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION -------------------- SymCon'07 is the 7th in a series of workshops affiliated with the CP conference, and focuses on the investigation of symmetry and symmetry breaking techniques for Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSPs). Symmetries occur frequently in CSPs. When undetected, they cause thrashing during traditional backtracking search by redundantly exploring symmetric parts of the search space. The topic was discussed as far back as 1874 by Glaisher, and new techniques to detect and/or break symmetry have been proposed in recent years. However, many outstanding problems remain. For instance, the detection and exploitation of local, dynamic, and weak forms of symmetry remains a challenge. The workshop is a forum for researchers to present advances in symmetry breaking techniques and to discuss the above or other open problems. Additionally, the workshop welcomes the presentation of applications and case studies that exhibit some form of symmetry. The workshop is relevant to the computational group theory (CGT) community because CGT is often the theory underlying many symmetry breaking techniques. Importantly, the organizers welcome submissions from researchers working in other areas of Artificial Intelligence who feel that their work would be of interest to the CP community. Such areas include planning, model checking, QBF formulas, finite model search, and theorem proving in FOL. Workshop topics include, but are not limited to: - Symmetry definition: semantic symmetry, syntactic symmetry, constraint symmetry, solution symmetry - Automatic symmetry detection: static approaches and dynamic approaches - Global symmetry detection and elimination - Dynamic symmetry detection and elimination - Combining symmetry breaking techniques - Exploiting weak forms of symmetries like "dominance" and "almost-symmetries" - Case studies of problems that exhibit interesting symmetries - Application of computational group theory techniques to symmetry breaking - Heuristics that use information about symmetry to guide search - Elimination and avoidance of symmetry by re-modelling - Dynamic avoidance of symmetric states during search - Complexity analysis of symmetry breaking techniques - Application of CSPs to symmetry and related algebraic problems - Comparing symmetry breaking techniques in constraint programming with techniques for dealing with symmetry in other search domains - Symmetry in CNF formulas and OBF formulas - Symmetry in finite model search in first order logic - Novel exploitation of symmetry in varied search domains of interest to the CP community ATTENDANCE ---------- The workshop is open to all members of the CP community. At least one author of each submission accepted for presentation must attend the workshop and present the contribution. All workshop attendees must pay the workshop fee. PAPER SUBMISSION ---------------- To submit a paper to the workshop, please e-mail a PS or PDF file in IJCAI03 style to symcon07@.... Style files can be obtained at http://www.cmi.univ-mrs.fr/~benhamou/symcon07/ Papers can be of any length but should not exceed 8 pages. All submissions must be received by June 22nd, 2007. The Program Committee Chairs will acknowledge all submissions. If a submitted paper is not acknowledged in 2 working days, the authors are kindly requested to contact one of the chairs. SELECTION PROCESS ----------------- All submissions will be reviewed. Those that present a significant contribution to the workshop topics will be accepted for publication in the workshop proceedings. The proceedings will be available electronically at the workshop web-page and in hardcopy at CP 2007. If necessary, for time reasons, only a subset of the papers will be presented. A selection will then be made by the Program Committee Chairs. Post-publication of the proceedings is currently under negotiation. IMPORTANT DATES --------------- Submission deadline: Friday, 22nd June 2007 Notification of acceptance: Tuesday, 17th July 2007 Camera ready deadline: Friday, 3rd August 2007 Workshop: Monday, 23rd September 2007 PROGRAM COMMITTEE CHAIRS ------------------------ - Belaïd Benhamou Université de Provence (Aix-Marseille I) LSIS-CMI, 39 F.

Please notice that the new submission deadline for SymCon'07 is june 29th.
We apologize for multiple copies of this Call. ================================================================ Call for Papers SymCon'07 The Seventh International Workshop on Symmetry and Constraint Satisfaction Problems (http://www.cmi.univ-mrs.fr/~benhamou/symcon07/) To be held at the Thirteenth International Conference on Principles and Practice of Constraint Programming (CP 2007) Providence, RI, USA September 23rd 2007 ================================================================ WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION -------------------- SymCon'07 is the 7th in a series of workshops affiliated with the CP conference, and focuses on the investigation of symmetry and symmetry breaking techniques for Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSPs). Symmetries occur frequently in CSPs. When undetected, they cause thrashing during traditional backtracking search by redundantly exploring symmetric parts of the search space. The topic was discussed as far back as 1874 by Glaisher, and new techniques to detect and/or break symmetry have been proposed in recent years. However, many outstanding problems remain. For instance, the detection and exploitation of local, dynamic, and weak forms of symmetry remains a challenge. The workshop is a forum for researchers to present advances in symmetry breaking techniques and to discuss the above or other open problems. Additionally, the workshop welcomes the presentation of applications and case studies that exhibit some form of symmetry. The workshop is relevant to the computational group theory (CGT) community because CGT is often the theory underlying many symmetry breaking techniques. Importantly, the organizers welcome submissions from researchers working in other areas of Artificial Intelligence who feel that their work would be of interest to the CP community. Such areas include planning, model checking, QBF formulas, finite model search, and theorem proving in FOL. Workshop topics include, but are not limited to: - Symmetry definition: semantic symmetry, syntactic symmetry, constraint symmetry, solution symmetry - Automatic symmetry detection: static approaches and dynamic approaches - Global symmetry detection and elimination - Dynamic symmetry detection and elimination - Combining symmetry breaking techniques - Exploiting weak forms of symmetries like "dominance" and "almost-symmetries" - Case studies of problems that exhibit interesting symmetries - Application of computational group theory techniques to symmetry breaking - Heuristics that use information about symmetry to guide search - Elimination and avoidance of symmetry by re-modelling - Dynamic avoidance of symmetric states during search - Complexity analysis of symmetry breaking techniques - Application of CSPs to symmetry and related algebraic problems - Comparing symmetry breaking techniques in constraint programming with techniques for dealing with symmetry in other search domains - Symmetry in CNF formulas and OBF formulas - Symmetry in finite model search in first order logic - Novel exploitation of symmetry in varied search domains of interest to the CP community ATTENDANCE ---------- The workshop is open to all members of the CP community. At least one author of each submission accepted for presentation must attend the workshop and present the contribution. All workshop attendees must pay the workshop fee. PAPER SUBMISSION ---------------- To submit a paper to the workshop, please e-mail a PS or PDF file in IJCAI03 style to both Belaid.Benhamou@... and symcon07@.... Style files can be obtained at http://www.cmi.univ-mrs.fr/~benhamou/symcon07/ Papers must be formated in IJCAI requirements and can be of any length but should not exceed 8 pages. All submissions must be received by June 29th, 2007. The Program Committee Chairs will acknowledge all submissions. If a submitted paper is not acknowledged in 2 working days, the authors are kindly requested to contact one of the chairs. SELECTION PROCESS ----------------- All submissions will be reviewed. Those that present a significant contribution to the workshop topics will be accepted for publication in the workshop proceedings. The proceedings will be available electronically at the workshop web-page and in hardcopy at CP 2007. If necessary, for time reasons, only a subset of the papers will be presented. A selection will then be made by the Program Committee Chairs. Post-publication of the proceedings is currently under negotiation. IMPORTANT DATES --------------- Submission deadline: Friday, 29th June 2007 Notification of acceptance: Tuesday, 17th July 2007 Camera ready deadline: Friday, 3rd August 2007 Workshop: Monday, 23rd PROGRAM COMMITTEE CHAIRS ------------------------ - Belaïd Benhamou Université de Provence (Aix-Marseille I) LSIS-CMI, 39 F.
