Logical
frameworks and meta-languages form a common substrate
for
representing, implementing and reasoning about a wide
variety of
deductive systems of interest in logic and computer
science. Their
design, implementation and their use in reasoning tasks,
ranging from
the correctness of software to the properties of formal
systems, have been the focus of considerable research
over the last two
decades. This workshop will bring together designers,
implementors and
practitioners to discuss various aspects impinging on
the structure and
utility of logical frameworks, including the treatment
of variable
binding, inductive and co-inductive reasoning techniques
and the
expressiveness and lucidity of the reasoning process.
LFMTP
2018 will provide researchers a forum to present
state-of-the-art
techniques and discuss progress in areas such as the
following:
*
Encoding and reasoning about the meta-theory of
programming languages,
logical systems and related formally specified
systems.
*
Theoretical and practical issues concerning the
treatment of variable
binding, especially the representation of, and
reasoning about,
datatypes defined from binding signatures.
*
Logical treatments of inductive and co-inductive
definitions and
associated reasoning techniques, including inductive
types of higher
dimension in homotopy type theory
*
Graphical languages for building proofs, applications in
geometry,
equational reasoning and category theory.
*
New theory contributions: canonical and substructural
frameworks,
contextual frameworks, proof-theoretic foundations
supporting
binders, functional programming over logical
frameworks,
homotopy and cubical type theory.
*
Applications of logical frameworks: proof-carrying
architectures, proof
exchange and transformation, program refactoring, etc.
*
Techniques for programming with binders in functional
programming
languages such as Haskell, OCaml or Agda, and logic
programming
languages such as lambda Prolog or Alpha-Prolog.

Important
Dates
Sunday, April 22th: Abstract submission deadline
Sunday, April 29th: Submission deadline
Saturday, May 19th: Notification to authors
Monday, May 28th: Final version due
Saturday, July 7th: Workshop
Submission
In
addition to regular papers, we accept the submission of
"work in progress"
reports, in a broad sense. Those do not need to report
fully polished
research results, but should be of interest for the
community at large.
Submitted papers should be in PDF, formatted using the
EPTCS style
guidelines. The length is restricted to 15 pages for
regular papers and
8 pages for "Work in Progress" papers. Submission is
via EasyChair:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=lfmtp18.
Proceedings
A selection of the presented papers will be published online in the Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science (EPTCS).
