From berghofe at in.tum.de Thu Nov 6 08:24:59 2008 From: berghofe at in.tum.de (Stefan Berghofer) Date: Thu, 06 Nov 2008 14:24:59 +0100 Subject: [POPLmark] CALL FOR PAPERS: TPHOLs 2009 Message-ID: <4912F02B.4000706@in.tum.de> CALL FOR PAPERS: TPHOLs 2009 The 22th International Conference on Theorem Proving in Higher Order Logics 17 - 20 August 2009 in Munich, Germany ****************************** * http://tphols.in.tum.de/ * ****************************** TPHOLs is a series of international conferences that started in 1988. It brings together researchers working in all areas of interactive theorem proving. The conference will be held on 17 - 20 August 2009 in Munich. As in previous years, the formal proceedings of TPHOLs will appear as a volume of LNCS. Topics ------ The program committee welcomes submissions on all aspects of theorem proving in higher order logics, on related topics in theorem proving and verification, and on relevant applications. The topics include, but are not limited to, the following: Specification and verification of hardware: microprocessors, memory systems, buses, pipelines, etc; formal semantics of hardware design languages; synthesis; formal design flows. Specification and verification of software: program verification, refinement, and synthesis for functional, declarative and imperative languages; formal semantics of programming languages; compiler and operating system verification; proof carrying code. Industrial application of theorem provers. Formalization of mathematical theories. Advances in theorem prover technology: proof automation and decision procedures, induction, combination of deductive and algorithmic approaches, incorporation of theorem provers into larger systems, combination of theorem provers with other provers and tools. Other topics, including: user interfaces for theorem provers; development and extension of higher order logics. Proof Pearls: concise and elegant presentations of interesting examples. Relevant research involving interactive first-order systems, such as ACL2 and Mizar, is also welcome. All authors are reminded that their work should be presented in a way that users of other systems can understand. Papers should be no more than 16 pages in length and are to be submitted in PDF format. Submissions must describe original unpublished work not submitted for publication elsewhere. They must conform to the LNCS style preferably using LaTeX2e. The proceedings are to be published as a volume in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series and will be available to participants at the conference. Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their paper at the conference. As has been custom in previous years there will be an emerging trends section. Submissions under this section will not be formally refereed, but their content and relevance will be reviewed. Those submissions accepted will be published in a technical report of the TU M?nchen, which will also be available at the conference. Authors of accepted papers in this section are expected to present a brief outline of their work at the conference and to prepare a poster for display at the conference venue.

Simmons) Date: Wed, 19 Nov 2008 14:45:45 -0500 Subject: [POPLmark] Twelf Tutorial (Call for participation) Message-ID: <16e0158a0811191145m281b3250g615597dee1fd8620@mail.gmail.com> ================================================== Tutorial Announcement and Call for Participation Mechanizing Metatheory with LF and Twelf Monday 19 January 2008 Savannah, GA Co-located with POPL 2009 Registration open! (Early registration ends December 19) http://twelftutorial.plparty.org ================================================== The Principles of Programming group at Carnegie Mellon University invites you to a tutorial on the use of LF and Twelf for specifying, implementing, and proving properties of programming languages. The tutorial will be a highly interactive introduction to LF and Twelf aimed at programming languages researchers. No prior experience with LF and Twelf is assumed. We will concentrate on two topics: * Representing programming languages in the LF logical framework * Using Twelf to prove properties of those languages Participants will leave the workshop with experience in reading and writing LF representations of programming languages, and experience reading, writing, and debugging Twelf proofs. You can register for the tutorial when you register for POPL 2009 (registration will begin next week). -- Rob Simmons on behalf of the Twelf Elves
