CALL FOR PAPERS

Logical Frameworks and Meta-Languages: Theory and Practice  (Post-Proceedings)

LFMTP 2020 https://lfmtp.org/workshops/2020/

Abstract submission deadline:  2 October 2020 

Paper submission deadline:     9 October 2020

ABOUT LFMTP

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.

The LFMTP 2020 workshop adopts a post-proceedings publication model. The

workshop itself took place on 29-30 June 2020 online, jointly with IJCAR and

FSCD. Now that the workshop has concluded, we solicit submissions of full papers

for the post-proceedings of LFMTP 2020, which will go through the normal

peer-review process. Submission is open to all; attendance at the workshop is

not prerequisite. 

Submissions related to the following topics are welcome: * Encoding and

reasoning about the meta-theory of programming languages, process calculi and

related formally specified systems.

* Formalisation of model-theoretic and proof-theoretic semantics of logics.

* 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 and their 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.

* Design and implementation of systems and tools related to meta-languages and

logical frameworks

IMPORTANT DATES

All deadlines are established as the end of day (23:59) AoE.

* Abstract submission deadline:  2 October 2020 

* Paper submission deadline:     9 October 2020 

* Notification to authors:      20 November 2020
