         Submission link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=paar2024
         Abstract registration deadline: April 5, 2024

         Topics: automated reasoning, implementation, tools


******************************************************************************


The automation of logical reasoning is a challenge that has been
studied intensively in fields including mathematics, philosophy, and
computer science. PAAR is the workshop on turning this theory into
practice: how can automated reasoning tools be built that work and are
useful in applications? PAAR covers all aspects of this challenge:
which theories, logics, or fragments are well-behaved in practice, and
connect well to application domains? which reasoning tasks are
tractable and useful? which algorithms are able to solve real-world
instances? how should automated reasoning tools be designed,
implemented, tested, and evaluated?

The goal of PAAR is to bring together theoreticians, tool developers,
and users, to concentrate on the practical aspects of automated
reasoning. The workshop welcomes high-quality contributions of any
kind, including new research results, presentation of work in
progress, presentation of new tools, new implementation techniques,
new application domains, or case studies.


Submission Guidelines
---------------------
Researchers interested in participating are invited to submit either an
extended abstract (up to 8 pages) or a regular paper (up to 15 pages), 
excluding
references, via EasyChair at 
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=paar2024.
Submissions will be refereed by the program committee, which will select 
a balanced
program of high-quality contributions. Short submissions that could 
stimulate
fruitful discussion at the workshop are particularly welcome.

Submissions should be prepared in LaTeX using the CEUR-WS.org style template
(CEURART, one-column). The package containing the class file and the 
user guide
can be downloaded from http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-XXX/CEURART.zip.

Topics include, but are not limited to:
--------------------------------------
* automated reasoning in propositional, first-order, higher-order, and
   non-classical logics;
* implementation of provers (SAT, SMT, resolution, superposition, tableau,
    instantiation-based, rewriting, logical frameworks, etc.);
* automated reasoning tools for all kinds of practical problems and
   applications;
* pragmatics of automated reasoning within proof assistants;
* practical experiences, usability aspects, feasibility studies;
* evaluation of implementation techniques and automated reasoning tools;
* performance aspects, benchmarking approaches; non-standard approaches to
   automated reasoning, non-standard forms of automated reasoning, new
   applications;
* implementation techniques, optimisation techniques, machine learning,
   strategies and heuristics, fairness;
* tools or methods that support prover development;
* system descriptions and demos.
