GENERAL INFORMATION

1. The Third Workshop on Practical Aspects of Automated Reasoning will be held in June 2012 in Manchester, UK. PAAR will be associated with the 6th International Joint Conference on Automated Reasoning (IJCAR-2012), part of the Alan Turing Year 2012, and collocated with The Alan Turing Centenary Conference.
   

SCOPE

1. PAAR provides a forum for developers of automated reasoning tools to discuss and compare different implementation techniques, and for users to discuss and communicate their applications and requirements. The workshop will bring together different groups to concentrate on practical aspects of the implementation and application of automated reasoning tools. It will allow researchers to present their work in progress, and to discuss new implementation techniques and applications.

3. Topics include but are not limited to:
   

4. 
   

5. ‣automated reasoning in propositional, first-order, higher-order and non-classical logics;
   

6. ‣implementation of provers (SAT, SMT, resolution, tableau, instantiation-based, rewriting, logical frameworks, etc);
   

7. ‣automated reasoning tools for all kinds of practical problems and applications;
   

8. ‣pragmatics of automated reasoning within proof assistants;
   

9. ‣practical experiences, usability aspects, feasibility studies;
   

10. ‣evaluation of implementation techniques and automated reasoning tools;
    

11. ‣performance aspects, benchmarking approaches;
    

12. ‣non-standard approaches to automated reasoning, non-standard forms of automated reasoning, new applications;
    

13. ‣implementation techniques, optimization techniques, strategies and heuristics, fairness;
    

14. ‣support tools for prover development;
    

15. ‣system descriptions and demos.
    

1. We are particularly interested in contributions that help the community to understand how to build useful reasoning systems in practice, and how to apply existing systems to real problems.
   

SUBMISSIONS

1. Researchers interested in participating are invited to submit a short abstract of up to 10 pages via EasyChair. Submissions will be refereed by the program committee, which will select a balanced program of high-quality contributions.
   

2. 
   

3. Submissions should be in standard-conforming PDF. To submit a paper, go to the EasyChair PAAR page  and follow the instructions there. Final versions should be prepared in LaTeX using the easychair.cls class file. Proceedings will be published as CEUR Workshop Proceedings and will be available  in print at the event.
   

4. 
   

5. If quality and quantity of the submissions warrants this, we plan to produce a special issue of a recognized journal on the topic of the workshop.
