Title: Multiplicative-Additive Proof Equivalence is Logspace-complete
Abstract:
Given a logic presented in a sequent calculus, a natural
question is that of equivalence of proofs: to determine
whether two given proofs are equated by any denotational
semantics, i.e. any categorical interpretation of the
logic compatible with its cut-elimination procedure. This
notion can usually be captured syntactically by a set of
rule permutations.
Very generally, proofnets can be defined as combinatorial
objects which provide canonical representatives of
equivalence classes of proofs. In particular, the existence
of proof nets for a logic provides a solution to the
equivalence problem of this logic. In certain fragments of
linear logic, it is possible to give a notion of proofnet
with good computational properties, making it a suitable
representation of proofs for studying the cut-elimination
procedure, among other things.
It has recently been proved that there cannot be such a
notion of proofnets for the multiplicative (with units) fragment
of linear logic, due to the equivalence problem for this
logic being Pspace-complete.
We will investigate the multiplicative-additive (without unit)
fragment of linear logic and see it is closely related to
binary decision trees: we can build a representation of proofs
based on binary decision trees, reducing proof equivalence to
decision tree equivalence. We will see as a consequence that
the proof equivalence problem multiplicative-additive linear
logic is Logspace-complete.

SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS
TABLEAUX 2017
26th International Conference on Automated Reasoning with
Analytic Tableaux and Related Methods
University of Brasilia, Brazil
September 25-28, 2017
Submission Deadline: 25 Apr 2017
http://tableaux2017.cic.unb.br/
GENERAL INFORMATION
TABLEAUX is the main international conference at which research
on all aspects, theoretical foundations, implementation techniques,
systems development and applications, of the mechanization of
tableau-based reasoning and related methods is presented. As
the first TABLEAUX workshop was held in Lautenbach in 1992, this
year's conference will include special events celebrating 25 years
of TABLEAUX.
The conference will be held in Brasilia from 25-28 September 2017.
It will be co-located with both the 11th International Symposium
on Frontiers of Combining Systems (FroCoS 2017) and the 8th
International Conference on Interactive Theorem Proving (ITP
2017).
TOPICS
Tableau methods offer a convenient and flexible set of tools for
automated reasoning in classical logic, extensions of classical
logic, and a large number of non-classical logics. For large groups
of logics, tableau methods can be generated automatically. Areas
of application include verification of software and computer
systems, deductive databases, knowledge representation and its
required inference engines, teaching, and system diagnosis.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
* tableau methods for classical and non-classical logics
(including first-order, higher-order, modal, temporal,
description, hybrid, intuitionistic, substructural,
relevance, non-monotonic logics) and their proof-theoretic
foundations;
* related methods (SMT, model elimination, model checking,
connection methods, resolution, BDDs, translation approaches);
* sequent calculi and natural deduction calculi for classical
and non-classical logics, as tools for proof search and proof
representation;
* flexible, easily extendable, light weight methods for theorem
proving;
* novel types of calculi for theorem proving and verification
in classical and non-classical logics;
* systems, tools, implementations, empirical evaluations and
applications (provers, logical frameworks, model checkers, ...);
* implementation techniques (data structures, efficient
algorithms, performance measurement, extensibility, ...);
* extensions of tableau procedures with conflict-driven
learning, generation of proofs; compact (or humanly readable)
representation of proofs;
* decision procedures, theoretically optimal procedures;
* applications of automated deduction to mathematics, software
development, verification, deductive and temporal
databases, knowledge representation, ontologies, fault
diagnosis or teaching.
We also welcome papers describing applications of tableau
procedures to real world examples. Such papers should be tailored
to the tableau community and should focus on the role of
reasoning, and logical aspects of the solution.

PUBLICATION DETAILS
The conference proceedings will be published in the Springer
LNAI/LNCS series, as in previous editions.
SUBMISSIONS
Submissions are invited in two categories:
A Research papers, which describe original theoretical
research, original algorithms, or applications, with length
up to 15 pages.
B System descriptions, with length up to 9 pages.
Submissions will be reviewed by the PC, possibly with the help of
external reviewers, taking into account readability, relevance
and originality.
For category A, theoretical results and algorithms must be
original, and not submitted for publication elsewhere. Submissions
will be reviewed taking into account correctness, theoretical
elegance, and possible implementability.
For category B submissions, a working implementation must be
accessible via the internet, which includes sources. The aim of a
system description is to make the system available in such a way
that users can use it, understand it, and build on it.
Accepted papers in both categories will be published in the
conference proceedings. Papers must be edited in LaTeX using the
llncs style and must be submitted electronically as PDF files via
the EasyChair system:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=3Dtableaux2017.
For all accepted papers at least one author is required to attend
the conference and present the paper. A paper title and a short
abstract of about 100 words must be submitted before the paper
submission deadline. Further information about paper submissions
will be made available at the conference website. Be aware that
neither plagiarism, nor self-plagiarism, nor duplicate publication
is acceptable. Formatting instructions and the LNCS style files
can be obtained via
http://www.springer.com/br/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gui=
delines
BEST PAPER AWARD
The TABLEAUX 2017 Best Paper Award will be presented to the best
submission nominated and chosen by the Program Committee among
the accepted papers. The eligibility criteria will place emphasis
on the originality and significance of the contribution, but
readability and the overall technical quality, including correctness
and completeness of results, will also be considered. The TABLEAUX
Best Paper Award was established in 2015 and is a permanent
initiative of TABLEAUX.

8th Workshop on Developments in Implicit Computational
complExity and
5th Workshop on Foundational and Practical Aspects of Resource
Analysis
(DICE-FOPARA 2017)
Affiliated with ETAPS 2017
April 22 - 23, 2017, Uppsala, Sweden
http://cbr.uibk.ac.at/events/dice-fopara
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OBJECTIVES
The first joint international workshop on Developments in Implicit
Computational complExity (DICE) and
FOundational and Practical Aspects of Resource Analysis (FOPARA) will be
held in Uppsala, Sweden, from April 22-23, 2017 as part of ETAPS.
The DICE workshop explores the area of Implicit Computational Complexity
(ICC), which grew out from several proposals to use logic and formal
methods to provide languages for complexity-bounded computation (e.g.
Ptime, Logspace computation). It aims at studying the computational
complexity of programs without referring to external measuring
conditions or a particular machine model, but only by considering
language restrictions or logical/computational principles entailing
complexity properties.
The FOPARA workshop serves as a forum for presenting original research
results that are relevant to the analysis of resource (e.g. time, space,
energy) consumption by computer programs. The workshop aims to bring
together the researchers that work on foundational issues with the
researchers that focus more on practical results. Therefore, both
theoretical and practical contributions are encouraged. We also
encourage papers that combine theory and practice.
Given the complementarity and the synergy between these two communities,
and following the successful experience of co-location of DICE-FOPARA
2015 in London at ETAPS 2015, we will hold
the 8th Workshop on DICE and the 5th Workshop on FOPARA together at
ETAPS 2017.
TOPICS
he joint international DICE-FOPARA workshop serves as a forum for
presenting original and established research results that are relevant
to the implicit computational complexity theory and to the analysis of
resource (e.g. time, space, energy) consumption by computer programs.
The workshop aims to bring together the researchers that work on
foundational issues with the researchers that focus more on practical
results. Therefore, both theoretical and practical contributions are
encouraged, as well as papers that combine theory and practice.
Areas of interest to the workshop include, but are not limited to,
the following:
* type systems for controlling/inferring/checking complexity
* logical and machine-independent characterisations of complexity classes
* logics closely related to complexity classes
* linear logic
* semantics of complexity-bounded computation
* rewriting and termination orderings
* interpretation-based methods for implicit complexity
* programming languages for complexity-bounded computation
* theoretical foundations of program complexity analysis
* application of implicit complexity to security
* resource static analysis for embedded or/and critical systems;
* semantic methods to analyse resources, including quasi-interpretations;
* practical applications of resource analysis;
* resource analysis by term and graph rewriting.
SUBMISSIONS
We ask for submission of *regular papers* describing original work
(10-15 pages) or *extended abstracts* (2-6 pages) presenting already
published work or work in progress.
With respect to regular papers, submissions will be in particular
verified for
originality and novelty and the manuscript must not have been published,
nor is presently submitted, elsewhere. With respect of submissions of
extended abstracts already published manuscripts are acceptable, but
have to be within the scope of the workshop and potentially give rise to
lively discussions during the meeting.
After the workshop we plan to edit a special issue of DICE-FOPARA 2017
in a renown journal in conjunction with the 7th Workshop on Developments
in Implicit Computational complExity (DICE 2016).
Regular papers must be prepared using the LaTeX EPTCS class (see
http://eptcs.org/). Accepted regular papers will appear in an EPTCS
volume (application pending). Papers should be submitted electronically
via the submission page:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dicefopara2017
IMPORTANT DATES
Paper submission February 19, 2017
Notification March 19, 2017
Final versions due March 26, 2017
Workshop date April 22-23, 2017
CONFERENCE VENUE
The workshop will be held as a satellite workshop of European Joint
Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software 2017 (ETAPS 2017) which
takes place in Uppsala, Sweden.
