THedu'18 Scope:

  Computer Theorem Proving is becoming a paradigm as well as a
  technological base for a new generation of educational software in
  science, technology, engineering and mathematics. The workshop brings
  together experts in automated deduction with experts in education in
  order to further clarify the shape of the new software generation and
  to discuss existing systems.

Invited Talk

  Julien Narboux, University of Strasbourg, France

Important Dates

 * Extended Abstracts:  15th April 2018
 * Author Notification: 15th May 2018
 * Workshop Day:        18 July 2018


Topics of interest include:

 * methods of automated deduction applied to checking students' input;
 * methods of automated deduction applied to prove post-conditions
   for particular problem solutions; 
 * combinations of deduction and computation enabling systems to
   propose next steps; 
 * automated provers specific for dynamic geometry systems;
 * proof and proving in mathematics education.

Submission

  We welcome submission of extended abstracts and demonstration
  proposals presenting original unpublished work which is not been
  submitted for publication elsewhere. 
  
  All accepted extended abstracts and demonstrations will be presented
  at the workshop. The extended abstracts will be made available
  online.
  
  Extended abstracts and demonstration proposals should be submitted
  via easychair,
  https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=thedu18
  formatted according to				  
  http://www.easychair.org/publications/easychair.zip
  
  Extended abstracts and demonstration proposals should be approximately
  5 pages in length and are to be submitted in PDF format.
  
  At least one author of each accepted extended abstract/demonstration
  proposal is expected to attend THedu'18 and presents his/her extended
  abstract/demonstration.
