Call for Papers ITP 2010: Conference on Interactive Theorem Proving 11-14 July 2010, Edinburgh, Scotland http://www.floc-conference.org/ITP-cfp.html ----- ITP brings together researchers working in all areas of interactive theorem proving. It combines the communities of two venerable meetings: the TPHOLs conference and the ACL2 workshop. The inaugural meeting of ITP will be held on 11-14 July 2010 in Edinburgh, Scotland, as part of the Federated Logic Conference (FLoC, 9-21 July 2010), co-located with the other FLoC conferences (CAV, ICLP, IJCAR, LICS, RTA, SAT) and workshops. The program committee welcomes submissions on all aspects of interactive theorem proving and its applications. Examples of typical topics include formal aspects of hardware or software (specification, verification, semantics, synthesis, refinement, compilation, etc.); formalization of significant bodies of mathematics; advances in theorem prover technology (automation, decision procedures, induction, combinations of systems and tools, etc.); other topics including those relating to user interfaces, education, comparisons of systems, and mechanizable logics; and concise and elegant worked examples ("Proof Pearls"). Submission details: All papers must be submitted electronically, via EasyChair: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=itp10 Papers may be no longer than 16 pages and are to be submitted in PDF using the Springer "llncs" format. Instructions may be found at ftp://ftp.springer.de/pub/tex/latex/llncs/latex2e/instruct/authors/typeinst.pdf with Latex source file typeinst.tex in the same directory. Submissions must describe original unpublished work not submitted for publication elsewhere, presented in a way that users of other systems can understand. The proceedings will be published as a volume in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series and will be available to participants at the conference. In addition to regular submissions, described above, there will be a "rough diamonds" section. Rough diamond submissions are limited to four pages and may consist of an extended abstract. They will be refereed: they will be expected to present innovative and promising ideas, possibly in an early form and without supporting evidence. Accepted diamonds will be published in the main proceedings. They will be presented at the conference venue in a poster session. Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their papers at the conference, and will be required to sign copyright release forms. All submissions must be written in English. Important dates (midnight GMT): Abstract submission deadline: 15 January 2010 Paper submission deadline: 22 January 2010 Notification of paper decisions: 15 March 2010 Camera-ready papers due from authors: 9 April 2010 Conference dates: 11-14 July 2010 Web page: http://www.floc-conference.org/ITP-cfp.html Conference co-chairs: Matt Kaufmann, University of Texas at Austin, USA Larry Paulson, University of Cambridge, United Kingdom Program Committee: Thorsten Altenkirch, Nottingham University, United Kingdom David Aspinall, Edinburgh University, United Kingdom Jeremy Avigad, Carnegie Mellon University, USA Gilles Barthe, IMDEA, Spain Jens Brandt, University of Kaiserslautern, Germany Thierry Coquand, Chalmers University, Sweden Ruben Gamboa, University of Wyoming, USA Georges Gonthier, Microsoft Research, United Kingdom David Greve, Rockwell Collins Inc., USA Elsa Gunter, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA John Harrison, Intel Corporation, USA Joe Hurd, Galois Inc., USA Matt Kaufmann, University of Texas at Austin, USA Gerwin Klein, NICTA, Australia Xavier Leroy, INRIA, France Assia Mahboubi, INRIA, France Panagiotis Manolios, Northeastern University, USA John Matthews, Galois Inc., USA J Moore, University of Texas at Austin, USA Cesar Munoz, NASA, USA Tobias Nipkow, TU Muenchen, Germany Michael Norrish, NICTA, Australia David Pichardie, INRIA Rennes, France Brigitte Pientka, McGill University, Canada Lee Pike, Galois Inc., USA Sandip Ray, University of Texas at Austin, USA Jose Luis Ruiz-Reina, Universidad de Sevilla, Spain Larry Paulson, University of Cambridge, United Kingdom David Russinoff, Advanced Micro Devices Inc., USA Peter Sewell, University of Cambridge, United Kingdom Konrad Slind, Rockwell Collins Inc., USA Sofiene Tahar, Concordia University, Canada Christian Urban, TU Muenchen, Germany Workshop Chair: Michael Norrish, NICTA, Australia Local Arrangements: David Aspinall, Edinburgh University, United Kingdom
