          CALL FOR PAPERS FOR

   The Third International Workshop on
     STRUCTURES AND DEDUCTION (SD14)

       http://vsl2014.at/sd/

        July 12-13, 2014

    Affiliated with CSL-LICS 2014
  Part of the Vienna Summer of Logic


Overview
========

This is the third in a series of meetings that bring together
researchers in different areas of proof theory. The main interest is
in new algebraic and geometric results in proof theory that expand our
abilities to manipulate proofs, that help to reduce bureaucracy in
deductive systems, and that ultimately lead to new methods for proof
search and new kinds of proof certificates.

Topics of the workshop include

- syntactic presentations of proofs, like sequent calculi and deep
 inference systems, in their focused and non-focused variants;

- combinatorial presentations of proofs, such as proof nets;

- algebraic presentations of proofs, for example via game semantics or
 category theory;

- methods for proof manipulation and normal forms for proofs;

- methods for incorporating computation and rewriting in proof search,
 such as deduction modulo or fixpoint definitions.

Since the past two meetings, held in 2005 in Lisbon and in 2009 in
Bordeaux, there has been a tremendous amount of progress in the the
theoretical foundations of the topics mentioned above.

The time is ripe for moving towards implementations of these ideas in
terms of new interactive and automated reasoning tools and
modifications to existing tools. Thus, we encourage contributions not
only of regular papers, but also of system descriptions, work in
progress, and programmatic/position papers.
