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 aworkshop is left to the 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/.
