FroCoS 2018 - 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. In many research areas, this has led to the development of techniques and methods for the combination and integration of dedicated formal systems, as well as their modularization and analysis.
FroCoS traditionally focuses on this type of research questions and activities and aims at promoting progress in the field.
Typical topics of interest:
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
