Welcome to TABLEAUX 2025

TABLEAUX is the main international conference at which research on all aspects---theoretical foundations, implementation techniques, systems development and applications---of tableaux-based reasoning and related methods are presented.

The first TABLEAUX conference was held in Lautenbach near Karlsruhe in 1992. Since then it has been organized on an annual basis. Since 2001, TABLEAUX, together with CADE and FroCoS, forms part of IJCAR every two years.

Scope

Tableaux and related proof methods offer convenient and flexible tools for automated reasoning for both classical and non-classical logics. 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:

• tableaux methods for classical and non-classical logics (including first-order, higher-order, modal, temporal, description, hybrid, intuitionistic, linear, substructural, fuzzy, relevance and non-monotonic logics) and their proof-theoretic foundations;
• sequent, natural deduction, labelled, nested and deep calculi for classical and non-classical logics, as tools for proof search and proof representation;
• related methods (SMT, model elimination, model checking, connection methods, resolution, BDDs, translation approaches);
• 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, proof assistants, logical frameworks, model checkers, etc.);
• implementation techniques (data structures, efficient algorithms, performance measurement, extensibility, etc.);
• combinations with machine learning and other AI methods;
• techniques for proof generation and compact (or human-readable) proof representation;
• theoretical and practical aspects of decision 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 TABLEAUX community and should focus on the role of reasoning and on logical aspects of the solution.

Paper submission

The program committee seeks high-quality submissions describing original work, written in English, not overlapping with published or simultaneously submitted work to a journal or a conference/workshop with archival proceedings. Submissions are solicited in two categories:

• regular papers reporting new theoretical research or applications, up to 15 pages excluding references,
• short papers such as system descriptions, user experiences, case studies and domain models, up to 9 pages excluding references.

Papers must be prepared in LaTeX using the llncs style and must be submitted electronically as pdf files through Easychair at

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tableaux2025.

For all accepted papers, one author must attend the conference in person and present the paper. One author (which may be a different one, e.g. if the presenter is a student) must pay the full registration fee.

In exceptional circumstances (which must be agreed about with the organizers by the registration deadline) online presentation is an option. Still one author must pay the full registration fee.

Publication

The conference proceedings will be published in Springer's Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI/LNCS) series in Gold Open Access under the CC-BY-4.0 license.
