IJCAR is the premier international joint conference on all topics in
automated reasoning. IJCAR 2012, the 6th International Joint
Conference on Automated Reasoning, is a merger of leading events in
automated reasoning: CADE (International Conference on Automated
Deduction), FroCoS (International Symposium on Frontiers of Combining
Systems), FTP (International Workshop on First-order Theorem Proving),
and TABLEAUX (International Conference on Automated Reasoning with
Analytic Tableaux and Related Methods). Previous editions of IJCAR
took place in Siena (2001), Cork (2004), Seattle (2006), Sydney (2008)
and Edinburgh (2010), cf. http://www.ijcar.org/.

IJCAR 2012 is held as part of the Alan Turing Year 2012 just after The
Alan Turing Centenary Conference in Manchester.

Scope: IJCAR 2012 invites submissions related to all aspects of
automated reasoning, including foundations, implementations, and
applications. Original research papers and descriptions of working
automated deduction systems are solicited.

Logics of interest include: propositional, first-order, classical,
equational, higher-order, non-classical, constructive, modal,
temporal, many-valued, substructural, description, metalogics, type
theory, and set theory.  Methods of interest include: tableaux,
sequent calculi, resolution, model-elimination, connection method,
inverse method, paramodulation, term rewriting, induction,
unification, constraint solving, decision procedures, model
generation, model checking, semantic guidance, interactive theorem
proving, logical frameworks, AI-related methods for deductive systems,
proof presentation, efficient datastructures and indexing, integration
of computer algebra systems and automated theorem provers, and
combination of logics or decision procedures.

Applications of interest include: verification, formal methods,
program analysis and synthesis, computer mathematics, declarative
programming, deductive databases, knowledge representation, natural
language processing, linguistics, robotics, and planning.

Submission: Submission is electronic through

	      https://www.easychair.org/?conf=ijcar2012.

Authors are strongly encouraged to use LaTeX and the Springer llncs
class file, which can be obtained from
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html.  The page limit is 15
pages for full papers and 7 pages for system descriptions.  All papers
will be evaluated according to originality, significance, technical
quality, and readability. Submitted papers must be original and not
submitted for publication elsewhere. For more details concerning
submission see the conference web site. The proceedings of IJCAR 2012
will be published by Springer-Verlag in the LNAI/LNCS series.

Student Travel Awards: Travel awards will be available to enable
selected students to attend the conference. Details will be available
in early 2012.
