The 27th International Conference on Automated Deduction (CADE-27)
Natal, Brazil
25-30 August 2019
http://www.cade-27.info
CALL FOR PAPERS
CADE is the major international forum for presenting research on all aspects of
automated deduction. High-quality submissions on the general topic of automated
deduction, including foundations, applications, implementations, theoretical
results, practical experiences and user studies are solicited.
Key dates:
Abstract deadline: 15 February 2019
Submission deadline: 22 February 2019
* Logics of interest include propositional, first-order, equational,
higher-order, classical, description, modal, temporal, many-valued,
constructive, other non-classical, meta-logics, logical frameworks, type theory,
set theory, as well as any combination thereof.
* Paradigms of interest include theorem proving, model building, constraint
solving, computer algebra, model checking, proof checking, and their integration.
* Methods of interest include resolution, superposition, completion, saturation,
term rewriting, decision procedures, model elimination, connection methods,
tableaux, sequent calculi, natural deduction, as well as their supporting
algorithms and data structures, including matching, unification, orderings,
induction, indexing techniques, proof presentation and explanation, proof planning.
* Applications of interest include program analysis, verification and synthesis
of software and hardware, formal methods, computational logic, computer
mathematics, natural language processing, computational linguistics, knowledge
representation, ontology reasoning, deductive databases, declarative
programming, robotics, planning, and other areas of artificial intelligence.
Submissions can be made in two categories: regular papers and system
descriptions. The page limit in Springer LNCS style is 15 pages excluding
references for regular papers and 10 pages excluding references for system
descriptions. Submissions must be unpublished and not submitted for publication
elsewhere. They will be judged on relevance, originality, significance,
correctness, and readability. System descriptions must contain a link to a
working system and will also be judged on usefulness and design. Proofs of
theoretical results that do not fit in the page limit, executables of systems,
and input data of experiments should be made available, via a reference to a
website or in an appendix of the paper. For papers containing experimental
evaluations, all data needed to rerun the experiments must be available.
Reviewers will be encouraged to consider this additional material, but
submissions must be self-contained within the respective page limit; considering
the additional material should not be necessary to assess the merits of a
submission. The review process will include a feedback/rebuttal period where
authors will have the option to respond to reviewer comments. The PC chair may
solicit further reviews after the rebuttal period.
The proceedings of the conference will be published in the Springer LNCS/LNAI
series. Formatting instructions and the LNCS style files can be obtained at
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html
At every CADE conference the Program Committee selects one of the accepted
papers to receive the CADE Best Paper Award. The award recognizes a paper that
the Program Committee collegially evaluates as the best in terms of originality
and significance, having substantial confidence in its correctness. Overall
technical quality, completeness, scholarly accuracy, and readability are also
considered. Characteristics associated with a best paper include, for instance,
introduction of a strong new technique or approach, solution of a long-standing
open problem, introduction and solution of an interesting and important new
problem, highly innovative application of known ideas or existing techniques,
and presentation of a new system of outstanding power. Under exceptional
circumstances, the Program Committee may give two awards (ex aequo) or give no
award.

アブストラクト/ABSTRACT
LOGIC 2.0 : A derealistic refoundation of logic.
Logic is based upon a doubt as to « reality », not to speak of
authority. This is why axiomatic realism, a.k.a. Tarskism, at work in
familiar (1.0) logic is a miscarriage of logical rationality. We propose
to replace the trinity Syntax/Semantics/Meta, with an architecture based
upon the synthetic a posteriori : « l’usine » (the factory) and its
proofnets. We thus replace the nets of logic with the logic of nets.
Among the technical novelties, the self-dual propositional constants
フand ヲwhose multiplicative combinations define natural numbers. Since
equality becomes logical equivalence, natural numbers provide pairwise
contradictory propositions, which is classically inconsistent : a
conjunction can thus be true while one of its components is false.Truth,
which no longer proceeds from the Sky, is governed by the Euler-Poincaré
invariant of graphs, with a derealistic switch : the invariant depends
upon the divide between objective and subjective vertices. Derealism
thus accomplishes a spectacular jailbreak from Tarskism!

CALL FOR PAPERS
Special Section on Formal Approaches
The IEICE Transactions on Information and Systems announces a forthcoming
special section on Formal Approaches to be published in August 2019.
Formal methods and techniques play a key role in designing and
developing highly reliable information systems and embedded systems. The
last decades have seen various new techniques and profound theoretical
results using formal methods in surprisingly many fields such as
modeling, requirements analysis, specification, automatic generation of
codes, testing, verification, and maintenance. They are rapidly
extending their application domains as a result of the recent growth of
information and communication technologies.
The Special Section on Formal Approaches aims at stimulating research on
formal approaches to information systems and embedded systems, ranging
from fundamental theory to practical applications. Our emphasis is put
on the cross-fertilization of related research fields and encouragement
of young researchers.
Topics:
The major topics are listed below, but we solicit submissions in all
areas of formal approaches, i.e., first to formalize information
systems, embedded systems, and their environment, next to analyze their
behavior and to derive their properties rigorously, and then to solve
various problems in designing and managing the systems.
- Theoretical foundations: all aspects of theory related to formal
description and verification for structure and behavior of systems.
- Formal techniques: techniques for mainly describing and analyzing
systems, such as software, hardware and networks.
- Formal tools: tools based on formal methods such as model checkers,
theorem provers, and static and dynamic analyzers.
- Applications: practical experiences of applying formal methods to
information systems, embedded systems, circuits, security, AI systems,
machine learning systems, automotive systems, etc.
- Education: education on formal methods.
Submission Instructions:
The deadline for submission is Sep 25, 2018, 23:59 JST(GMT+9).
Manuscripts should be carefully prepared according to the guideline
in the "Information for Authors" (available at
http://www.ieice.org/eng/shiori/mokuji_iss.html). The preferred
length of the manuscript is 8 pages. Only electronic submission
through the web page is accepted.
Submit a complete paper and transfer copyright of the paper using the
IEICE Web site
https://review.ieice.org/regist/regist_baseinfo_e.aspx
Authors should choose the [Special FO] Formal Approaches"
as a "Journal/Section" on the online screen.
