The 28th International Conference on Automated Deduction

The conference on Automated Deduction (CADE) is the major international forum at which research on all aspects of automated deduction is presented. The conference programme includes invited talks, paper presentations, workshops, tutorials, and system competitions. Furthermore, the Herbrand Award for Distinguished Contributions to Automated Deduction and the new Skolem Award(s) for influential historical CADE papers is presented at the conference.

The 28th International Conference on Automated Deduction (CADE-28) will be virtual due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The virtual conference will take place from July 11 to 16, 2021 as originally planned.

Submissions to CADE-28 can be made in two categories: Regular papers (up to 15 pages in LNCS style, excluding references) and short papers (up to 10 pages in LNCS style, excluding references). More information about submission can be found in the joint Call for Papers and Workshops/Tutorials/Competitions.

The authors of a selection of the best CADE-28 papers will be invited to submit an extended version of their paper after the conference, to be published in a special issue of the Journal of Automated Reasoning.

CADE-28 is organized in cooperation with ACM SIGLOG.

Liron Cohen, Ben-Gurion University

Title: Non-well-founded deduction for induction and coinduction

Bio: Liron Cohen is senior lecturer (assistant professor) in the Department of Computer Science at Ben-Gurion University in Israel. Previously, Liron was a Fulbright postdoctoral researcher at Cornell University working with Robert Constable. She obtained her Ph.D. in 2016 from Tel Aviv University advised by Arnon Avron. Liron's research is motivated by the desire to understand the deep connection between proofs and computation. Her research interests include computer-aided deduction and verification, type systems, logics, programming languages and computational mathematics.

Markus Rabe, Google

Title: What are the Limits of Neural Networks for Automated Reasoning?

Bio: Markus N. Rabe is a software engineer and researcher at Google. He explores the foundations of automated reasoning, including the use of deep learning, and is a member of the N2Formal team, which has the goal to automatically formalize mathematics. Markus has a Ph.D. from Saarland University and visited UC Berkeley as a postdoc.
