TPHOLs is a series of international conferences that started in 1988.
It brings together researchers working in all areas of interactive
theorem proving.  The conference will be held on 17 - 20 August
2009 in Munich. As in previous years, the formal proceedings of
TPHOLs will appear as a volume of LNCS.

Important Dates

Submission for the emerging
trends section:  11 May 2009

Conference:  17 - 20 August 2009


Topics
--

The program committee welcomes submissions on all aspects of theorem
proving in higher order logics, on related topics in theorem proving
and verification, and on relevant applications. The topics include, but
are not limited to, the following:

 Specification and verification of hardware: microprocessors, memory
 systems, buses, pipelines, etc; formal semantics of hardware design
 languages; synthesis; formal design flows.

 Specification and verification of software: program verification,
 refinement, and synthesis for functional, declarative and imperative
 languages; formal semantics of programming languages; compiler and
 operating system verification; proof carrying code.

 Industrial application of theorem provers.

 Formalization of mathematical theories.

 Advances in theorem prover technology: proof automation and decision
 procedures, induction, combination of deductive and algorithmic
 approaches, incorporation of theorem provers into larger systems,
 combination of theorem provers with other provers and tools.

 Other topics, including: user interfaces for theorem provers; development
 and extension of higher order logics.

 Proof Pearls: concise and elegant presentations of interesting examples.

Relevant research involving interactive first-order systems, such as ACL2
and Mizar, is also welcome. All authors are reminded that their work
should  be presented in a way that users of other systems can understand.

Papers should be no more than 16 pages in length and are to be submitted
in PDF format. Submissions must describe original unpublished work not
submitted for publication elsewhere. They must conform to the LNCS style
preferably using LaTeX2e. The proceedings are to be published as a volume
in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series and will be available to
participants at the conference.

Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their paper at the
conference.

As has been custom in previous years there will be an emerging trends
section. Submissions under this section will not be formally refereed, but
their content and relevance will be reviewed. Those submissions accepted
will be published in a technical report of the TU München, which will also
be available at the conference. Authors of accepted papers in this section
are expected to present a brief outline of their work at the conference
and to prepare a poster for display at the conference venue.

[TYPES/announce] FM 2009: Call for Tutorial Proposals

2009-02-04 Thread Arend Rensink
[ The Types Forum (announcements only), 
 http://lists.seas.upenn.edu/mailman/listinfo/types-announce ]

Call for Tutorial Proposals

  Formal Methods 2009, Eindhoven, The Netherlands
  symposium 4-6 November, tutorials 2 & 3 November

FM2009 is the sixteenth international symposium of the Formal Methods 
Europe association. Ten years after the world congress in Toulouse in 
1999, FM2009 will be organized as a world congress again, a global 
platform for researchers and practitioners from a diversity of 
countries, backgrounds and schools to exchange ideas and share 
experiences. Several conferences are colocating with FM2009 within 
FMweek.

As is tradition, the symposium will go together with an Industry Day, 
a Doctoral Symposium, a Tool Exhibition, an event on Teaching Formal 
Methods, as well as a wide range of workshops (see 
www.win.tue.nl/fm2009 for the latest information). In order to 
complete the programme, the organizing committee of FM2009 cordially 
invites proposals for one day tutorials in the wide area of formal 
methods.

Tutorials should aim to provide conference participants with the 
opportunity to learn new techniques and gain insights in the use of 
formal methods. In particular, we welcome proposals addressing:

- novel applications of existing tools and techniques
- advanced topics in formal methods research
- uses of formal methods in emerging fields 

Tutorials will take place on 2 and 3 November, preceding the symposium. 

FM2009 tutorial proposals should include:

- tutorial title and brief description of its scope and goal
- names and affiliations of the tutors
- format of the tutorial

Proposals in pdf can be sent to the tutorial chair Jan Friso Groote at 
j.f.gro...@tue.nl. Deadline for submission is 6 March 2009. 

Proposals will be evaluated by the FM2009 organizing committee. 
Notification will be sent by 18 March 2009. Tutorials that have 
lecture notes, can be assisted in printing and distribution by the 
FM2009 organizing committee. Tutors of accepted proposals will receive 
a discount on their registration fee for FM2009. Tutorial participants 
are invited to register for FM2009 or one the colocated events within 
FMweek, but are not required to do so. See the websites 
www.win.tue.nl/fm2009 and www.win.tue.nl/fmweek for more information 
on the symposium, colocated events and venue. Further inquiries can be 
made to the tutorial chair.

Submission of proposals: 6 March 2009
Notification of acceptance: 18 March 2009
Tutorial dates: 2 and 3 November 2009
