IJCAR 2008 is the 4th International Joint Conference on Automated Reasoning,
and is a merger of leading events:
  CADE (Conference on Automated Deduction),
  FroCoS (Workshop on Frontiers of Combining Systems),
  FTP (Workshop on First-order Theorem Proving) and
  TABLEAUX (Conference on Analytic Tableaux and Related Methods)

IJCAR is the premier international joint conference on all aspects of automated
reasoning, including foundations, implementations, and applications. The IJCAR
technical program will consist of presentations of high-quality original
research papers, system descriptions and invited talks. There will be two days
of workshops and tutorials, 10th and 11th August, and the conference 12th to
15th August.

Conference chair:
  Peter Baumgartner (NICTA)

Call for Workshop and Tutorial Proposals
----------------------------------------

Workshop and tutorial proposals on IJCAR-related topics are solicited.
Proposals that promise to bring new topics into IJCAR, of either practical or
theoretical importance, or provide a forum for more detailed discussion on
central topics of continuing importance are highly welcome. Proposals that
close the gap between automated reasoning and related areas, e.g., formal
methods or software engineering, are especially encouraged.

Proposals must contain information sufficient for the programme committee to
judge the importance, quality and community interest in the proposed topic.
Each workshop or tutorial must have one or more designated organizers, and
may have a programme committee as well.

Proposals must be limited to three pages and provide at least the following
information:
+ Title.
+ Description of the workshop topic and goals. (Why do you believe this is an
  interesting and significant topic?)
+ Intended audience. (From which areas do you expect potential participants to
  come? How many participants do you expect?);
+ Organization of the workshop. (Describe the intended format of the workshop,
  its expected duration (from half a day to two days) and preferred dates
  (August 10th, 11th, or both).)
+ Organizers' details. (Provide affiliations, backgrounds and contact details
  (email, etc.) of organizers and committee members)

Proposals should be sent as plain text and as PDF to the workshop chair
([log in to unmask]).

Workshop and tutorial chair:
