The 18th International Conference on
Logic for Programming, Artificial Intelligence and Reasoning
============================================================

www.LPAR-18.info

New Abstract Deadline: 1 November
New Final paper Deadline: 6 November

This is the last call for papers for LPAR-18 and the second call for workshop
proposals. Information about workshop proposals is included at the end of this
call.

The series of International Conferences on Logic for Programming, Artificial
Intelligence and Reasoning (LPAR) is a forum where, year after year, some of
the most renowned researchers in the areas of logic, automated reasoning,
computational logic, programming languages and their applications come to
present cutting-edge results, to discuss advances in these fields, and to
exchange ideas in a scientifically emerging part of the world. The 18th LPAR
will be held in Merida, Venezuela.

Logic is a fundamental organizing principle in nearly all areas in Computer
Science. It runs a multifaceted gamut from the foundational to the applied.
At one extreme, it underlies computability and complexity theory and the formal
semantics of programming languages. At the other extreme, it drives billions
of gates every day in the digital circuits of processors of all kinds. Logic
is in itself a powerful programming paradigm, but it is also the quintessential
specification language for anything ranging from real-time critical systems to
networked infrastructures. Logical techniques link implementation and
specification through formal methods such as automated theorem proving and
model checking. Logic is also the stuff of knowledge representation and
artificial intelligence. Because of its ubiquity, logic has acquired a central
role in Computer Science education.

Topics
------
New results in the fields of computational logic and applications are welcome.
Also welcome are more exploratory presentations, which may examine open
questions and raise fundamental concerns about existing theories and practices.

* Automated reasoning
* Verification
* Interactive theorem proving and proof assistants
* Model checking
* Implementations of logic

[Caml-list] CICM 2012: Call for workshops

CICM 2012 - Conference on Intelligent Computer Mathematics
July 9-13, 2012 at Jacobs University, Bremen, Germany

http://www.informatik.uni-bremen.de/cicm2012/

Call for Workshop Proposals
----------------------------------------------------

As computers and communications technology advance, greater
opportunities arise for intelligent mathematical computation. While
computer algebra, automated deduction, mathematical publishing and
novel user interfaces individually have long and successful histories,
we are now seeing increasing opportunities for synergy among these
areas.

Workshop proposals for CICM 2012 are solicited. Both well-established
workshops and newer or brand new ones are encouraged.

Please provide the following information:

+ Workshop title.
+ Names and affiliations of organizers.
+ Brief description of workshop goals and/or topics.
+ Proposed workshop duration (from half a day to two days is
possible).
+ If the workshop has met previously, please include the conference
affiliation for the previous meeting. If the workshop is new,
please
indicate so.

CICM conference fees will be levied on a per-day basis, so that
workshop-only participation is possible. The CICM organizers plan to
make available a small amount towards partial reimbursement for travel
expenses of invited speakers. Also, CICM will take care of printing
and distributing informal proceedings for workshops that would like
this service.

All proposals should be sent via email to m.kohlhase@jacobs-university.de
for consideration by the CICM 2012 organizers:

Serge Autexier (DFKI Bremen): General Co-Chair
Michael Kohlhase (Jacobs University): General Co-Chair
Johan Jeuring (Utrecht University): Program Chair

Important dates:
Deadline for proposal submissions: December 7. 2012
Acceptance/rejection notification: January 7, 2012
Workshop dates: July 9-13, 2012

elsewhere. Submission categories include regular research papers,
applications of rewriting techniques, problem sets, and system
descriptions.

The page limit for submissions is 10 proceedings pages for system
descriptions and 15 proceedings pages for all other categories.
Additional material may be provided in an appendix which is not
subject to the page limit. However, submissions must be self-contained
within the respective page limit; reading the appendix should not be
necessary to assess the merits of a submission.

Submissions are accepted in either Postscript or PDF format.
