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.

Dates
Abstract
submission deadline: Sunday April 8th
Submission deadline: Sunday April 15th
Notification to authors: Tuesday May 15th
Final version due: Friday May 25th
Workshop date: Saturday July 7th
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
Accepted
regular papers will be included in the proceedings of LMFTP
2018, whose mode of publication will be determined shortly.
