Preface
This volume contains the research papers presented at the International Con-
ference on Automated Reasoning with Analytic Tableaux and Related Methods
(TABLEAUX2005)heldSeptember14–17,2005inKoblenz,Germany.Thiscon-
ferencewasthefourteenthinaseriesofinternationalmeetingssince1992(listed
onpageIX). Itwaspartofthe InternationalConferenceSummer Koblenz2005,
which included conferences covering a broad spectrum of topics and interest-
ing fields of application for tableau-based methods: artificial intelligence (KI),
multi-agentsystems(MATES),automatedreasoningandknowledgerepresenta-
tion (FTP), and software engineering and formal methods (SEFM).
The ProgramCommittee of TABLEAUX 2005received46 submissions from
16 countries. After each paper was reviewed by three referees, and an intensive
discussion on the borderline papers was held during the online meeting of the
ProgramCommittee,18researchpapersand7systemdescriptionswereaccepted
based on originality, technical soundness, presentation, and relevance. I wish to
sincerelythank alltheauthorswhosubmittedtheirworkforconsideration.And
I would like to thank the Program Committee members and other referees for
theirgreateffortandprofessionalworkinthereviewandselectionprocess.Their
names are listed on the following pages.
In addition to the contributed papers, the program included four excellent
keynotetalks.IamgratefultoProf.DiegoCalvanese(FreeUniversityofBolzano,
Italy), Prof. Ian Horrocks (University of Manchester, UK), Prof. Hans Ju¨rgen
Ohlbach (Ludwig Maximilian University, Munich, Germany), and Prof. Erik
Rosenthal (University of New Haven, USA) for accepting the invitation to ad-
dress the conference.
Three very good tutorials were part of TABLEAUX 2005: Instance-Based
Methods (P.BaumgartnerandG.Stenz),Analytic Systems and Dialogue Games
(C. Fermu¨ller), and A Tutorial on Agda (M. Benke). I would like to express my
thanks to the tutorial presenters for their contribution.
Itwasateameffortthatmadetheconferencesosuccessful.Iamtrulygrateful
totheSteeringCommitteemembersfortheirsupportandtoGernotStenzforhis
effective work as Publicity Chair. And I particularly thank the local organizers
for their hard work and help in making the conference a success: Gerd Beuster,
Sibille Burkhardt, Ruth Go¨tten, Vladimir Klebanov, Thomas Kleemann, Jan
Murray, Oliver Obst, Alex Sinner, Christoph Wernhard, and Doris Wertz.
