-
- TYPES FOR PROOFS AND PROGRAMS
-
- BAASTAD, SWEDEN, JUNE 7 - 18, 1993
-
-
- During the last few years major achievements have been made in using
- computers for interactive proof developments. Several proof assistants
- (such as Coq, Lego, and Alf) have been developed based on the idea of
- a logical framework in which it is possible to define a variety of
- logics. Many quite substantial proofs from mathematics, logic, and
- computing have also been implemented in them.
-
- This two week course is for postgraduate students and researchers who
- want to learn about interactive proof development. There will be
- introductory and advanced lectures on lambda calculus, type theory,
- logical frameworks, program extraction, and other topics which give
- relevant background. No prior knowledge of these topics is expected.
-
- The systems will be demonstrated, and students will get extensive
- opportunities to use them in a workstation environment for developing
- their own proofs.
