Scope of the workshop
------------------

ACL2 2011 is a major forum for the users of the ACL2 theorem proving 
system to present research related to the ACL2 theorem prover and its 
applications. ACL2 2011 is the tenth in the series of workshops, occurring 
at approximately 18-month intervals. ACL2 is a state-of-the-art automated 
reasoning system, the latest in the Boyer-Moore family of theorem provers, 
for which its authors received the 2005 ACM Software Systems Award. 
ACL2 2011 is planned as a two-day workshop to be held in Austin, TX, USA, 
on 3-4 November 2011. ACL2 2011 is affiliated with FMCAD 2011, the 
eleventh International Conference on Formal Methods in Computer Aided 
Design (http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/ragerdl/fmcad11/). In addition to paper 
presentations, ACL2 2011 is anticipated to include several rump sessions 
discussing ongoing research. We invite submission of papers on any topic 
related to ACL2 and its applications. We strongly encourage the participation 
of users of other theorem provers and researchers and practitioners interested 
in theorem proving technology.


Paper categories
-------------

Papers presented at the workshop will be assigned to one of the following 
categories. At the time of submission, please indicate to which category you 
think your paper belongs. If you are not sure about the category for your 
paper, simply submit the paper to the "Other" category.

** Wizard spells ** (new)

Let the wizards reveal their spells!  Wizard spell papers must present
detailed proof techniques. They illustrate the use of ACL2 features, general 
proof patterns, and advanced proof strategies. The objectives are to help 
new users, to share the expertise of ACL2 "power users", and hopefully to 
inspire 
and help other users. 

** Applications **

Applications have played an important role in the development of ACL2. ACL2 
2011 welcomes papers reporting about user experiences in hardware and software 
verification, formalization of mathematics, teaching, but also in emerging or 
novel areas.

** What's new ? **

Papers of this category will present updates about the ACL2 systems and related
systems, like ACL2s, ACL2(r) or ACL2(h). Papers may present new system 
capabilities, 
features, or interfaces. 

** Other **

All papers that do not fit in any of the above categories belong to this 
category.

** Short and long papers **

In all categories, ACL2 2011 welcomes long (10 pages) and short (4 pages) 
papers.


Paper submission
--------------

Submissions must be made electronically in PDF format through Easy Chair.
The corresponding webpage can be found on the ACL2 2011 website. 
Submissions must use ACM SIG Proceedings format with letter-size paper 
(see http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html). The 
proceedings are expected to be published in the ACM Digital Library (pending). 
Authors may assume that the audience has a working knowledge of ACL2's 
syntax, basic commands, and modeling techniques. Papers should contain a 
short abstract of about 150 words, clearly stating the contribution of the 
submission. Papers should be self-contained, but we strongly encourage 
authors to follow the tradition (where applicable) of providing ACL2 "books", 
or script files, with instructions for their execution. For accepted papers, 
these 
books will be mirrored from the ACL2 Home Page and included in the future 
ACL2 distributions. At least one author of each accepted paper will be required 
to register for the workshop and present the paper. Authors of accepted papers 
are expected to present their papers at the conference and will be required to 
sign copyright release forms. All submissions must be written in English.
