Preface

This volume gathers the research papers presented at the International Conference on Automated Reasoning with Analytic Tableaux and Related Methods (TABLEAUX 2007) that took place July 3–6, 2007 in Aix en Provence, France. This conference was the 16th in a series of international meetings held since 1992 (the list is on page VIII). The Program Committee of TABLEAUX 2007 received 43 submissions, 16 of which were accepted for publication in the present proceedings, while 8 were accepted as position papers. In addition to the contributed papers, the program included three excellent keynote talks by Piero Bonatti of Universit` a di Napoli, by John-Jules Meyer of Utrecht University, and by Cesare Tinelli of the University of Iowa. Finally, the program was completed by three tutorials of deep interest: “The Tableau Work Bench: Theory and Practice” (Pietro Abate and Rajeev Gor´e), “Tableau Methods for Interval Temporal Logics” (Valentin Goranko and Angelo Montanari), and “Semistructured Databases and Modal Logic” (Serenella Cerrito). Tableaux and related methods are a convenient formalism for automating deduction in classical as well as in non-classical logics. The papers collected in this volume witness the wide range of logics being covered: from intuitionistic and su
