FroCoS 2015 - 10th International Symposium on Frontiers of Combining Systems

In various areas of computer science, such as logic, computation, program development and verification, artificial intelligence, knowledge representation, and automated reasoning, there is an obvious need for using specialized formalisms and inference systems for selected tasks. To be usable in practice, these specialized systems must be combined with each other and integrated into general purpose systems. This has led---in many research areas---to the development of techniques and methods for the combination and integration of dedicated formal systems, as well as for their modularization and analysis.
The International Symposium on Frontiers of Combining Systems (FroCoS) traditionally focusses on these types of research questions and activities. Like its predecessors, FroCoS 2015 seeks to offer a common forum for research in the general area of combination, modularization, and integration of systems, with emphasis on logic-based ones, and of their practical use.
Topics
Topics of interest for FroCoS'15 include (but are not restricted to):
combinations of logics (such as higher-order, first-order, temporal, modal, description or other non-classical logics);
combination and integration methods in SAT and SMT solving;
combination of decision procedures, satisfiability procedures, constraint solving techniques, or logical frameworks;
combinations and modularity in ontologies;
integration of equational and other theories into deductive systems;
hybrid methods for deduction, resolution and constraint propagation;
hybrid systems in knowledge representation and natural language semantics;
combined logics for distributed and multi-agent systems;
logical aspects of combining and modularizing programs and specifications;
integration of data structures into constraint logic programming and deduction;
combinations and modularity in term rewriting;
applications of methods and techniques to the verification and analysis of information systems.
