Scope

FTP'2005 is the seventh in a series of workshops intended to focus effort on First-Order Theorem Proving as a core theme of Automated Deduction, and to provide a forum for presentation of recent work and discussion of research in progress.

The workshop welcomes original contributions on theorem proving in first-order classical, many-valued, modal and description logics, including nonexclusively: resolution, tableau methods, equational reasoning, term-rewriting, model construction, constraint reasoning, unification, description logics, propositional logic, specialized decision procedures; strategies and complexity of theorem proving procedures; implementation techniques and applications of first-order theorem provers to verification, artificial intelligence, mathematics and education.


Publication

Proceedings:

Papers accepted for presentation are published in a Technical Report of the University of Koblenz and will be available at the workshop.

Journal special issue:

As for the previous editions of FTP, a special issue of a journal is prepared after the workshop. The papers published in this journal will be either long versions of papers presented at FTP'2005, or new papers devoted to First-Order Theorem Proving. All these papers will go through a new review process.

Workshop Venue

The workshop will be held in conjunction with TABLEAUX 2005. TABLEAUX is the major international conference for automated reasoning with analytic tableaux and related methods. General information for the TABLEAUX conference series: http://i12www.ira.uka.de/TABLEAUX/.


Important Dates

June 5, 2005 Deadline for paper submissions
July 29, 2005 Notification of acceptance
August 12, 2005 Final versions due for proceedings
September 14-17, 2005 FTP'2005

Paper submission

The conference will include research papers, system descriptions, position papers and invited lectures. Submissions are invited in three categories:

A Research papers (up to 12 pages) reporting original theoretical and/or experimental research
B System descriptions (3-5 pages) describing new systems or significant upgrades of existing ones, especially including experiments; systems will have to be freely available online
C Position papers (2 pages) describing the authors' research interests in the field, work in progress, or future directions of research

All papers will be refereed by the program committee, and will be evaluated on their significance, technical merit, and relevance to the workshop. Papers accepted for presentation (except position papers) are published in a Technical Report of the University of Koblenz and will be available at the workshop. As for the previous editions of FTP, a special issue of a journal is planned after the workshop. The submission will be open to papers on First-Order Theorem Proving.

Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their work at the conference. For Category B submissions, a working implementation must exist.

Submission Procedure

If you encounter any problems with registering as author, uploading the abstract, uploading the full paper, or have any further questions, please contact us at ftp2005@uni-koblenz.de.
