                      CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

   21st International Conference on Types for Proofs and Programs,
                            TYPES 2015
                 Tallinn, Estonia,  18-21 May 2015

Background

The TYPES meetings are a forum to present new and on-going work in all
aspects of type theory and its applications, especially in formalized
and computer assisted reasoning and computer programming. The meetings
from 1990 to 2008 were annual workshops of a sequence of five EU
funded networking projects. Since 2009, TYPES has been run as an
independent conference series. Previous TYPES meetings were held in
Antibes (1990), Edinburgh (1991), Båstad (1992), Nijmegen (1993),
Båstad (1994), Torino (1995), Aussois (1996), Kloster Irsee (1998),
Lökeberg (1999), Durham (2000), Berg en Dal near Nijmegen (2002),
Torino (2003), Jouy en Josas near Paris (2004), Nottingham (2006),
Cividale del Friuli (2007), Torino (2008), Aussois (2009), Warsaw
(2010), Bergen (2011), Toulouse (2013), Paris (2014).

The TYPES areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

    foundations of type theory and constructive mathematics;
    applications of type theory;
    dependently typed programming;
    industrial uses of type theory technology;
    meta-theoretic studies of type systems;
    proof assistants and proof technology;
    automation in computer-assisted reasoning;
    links between type theory and functional programming;
    formalizing mathematics using type theory.

Host city and venue

Tallinn, on the shores of the Gulf of Finland, is famous for its
medieval Old Town. The conference will take place at the historic
House of the Blackheads in the middle of the Old Town.
