UITP'08
The 8th International Workshop on
User Interfaces for Theorem Provers
[http://www.ags.uni-sb.de/~omega/workshops/UITP08/]
(TPHOLS'08 Satellite Workshop)
Friday, 22nd August 2008, Montréal, Québec, Canada
The User Interfaces for Theorem Provers workshop series brings
together researchers interested in designing, developing and
evaluating interfaces for interactive proof systems, such as theorem
provers, formal method tools, and other tools manipulating and
presenting mathematical formulas.
While the reasoning capabilities of interactive proof systems have
increased dramatically over the last years, the system interfaces have
often not enjoyed the same attention as the proof engines
themselves. In many cases, interfaces remain relatively basic and
under-designed.
The User Interfaces for Theorem Provers workshop series provides a
forum for researchers interested in improving human interaction with
proof systems. We welcome participation and contributions from the
theorem proving, formal methods and tools, and HCI communities, both
to report on experience with existing systems, and to discuss new
directions. Topics covered include, but are not limited to:
Application-specific interaction mechanisms or designs for prover
interfaces
Experiments and evaluation of prover interfaces
Implementation techniques (e.g. web services, custom middleware,
DSLs)
Integration of interfaces and tools to explore and construct proof
Representation and manipulation of mathematical knowledge or
objects
Visualisation of mathematical objects and proof
UITP 2008 is a one-day workshop to be held on Friday, August 22nd 2008
in Montreal, Canada, as a TPHOLS'08 workshop
[http://users.encs.concordia.ca/~tphols08/TPHOLs2008/]
FORMAT OF THE WORKSHOP
The proposed format of the workshop is one day of presentations of
accepted regular papers and system demonstrations of accepted system
descriptions. In addition the program might include an invited talk.
SUBMISSION
Submissions are encouraged in one of the following two categories:
Regular paper: Submissions in this category should describe
previously unpublished work (completed or in progress), including
descriptions of research, tools, and applications. Papers should
be formated following the ENTCS [http://www.entcs.org/prelim.html]
guidelines and up to 15 pages long (please find the additional
UITP'08-specific macro file at
[http://www.entcs.org/files/uitp08/prentcsmacro.sty].
System description: Submissions in this category are intended to
describe existing systems. Papers should be formated following the
ENTCS [http://www.entcs.org/prelim.html] guidelines and up to 5
pages long (please find here the additional UITP'08-specific ENTCS
macro file [http://www.entcs.org/files/uitp08/prentcsmacro.sty]).
Submission of papers is via the EasyChair conference system
[http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=uitp08]. All submissions
will be peer reviewed and final versions of accepted submissions will
be published in an ENTCS [http://www.elsevier.com/locate/entcs]
volume. In addition, printed workshop proceedings will be distributed
at the workshop. Final versions of accepted papers have to be
prepared with LaTeX.
