Background
The PxTP workshop brings together researchers working on various aspects
of communication, integration, and cooperation between reasoning systems
and formalisms.
The progress in computer-aided reasoning, both automated and interactive,
during the past decades, made it possible to build deduction tools that
are increasingly more applicable to a wider range of problems and are
able to tackle larger problems progressively faster. In recent years,
cooperation of such tools in larger verification environments has
demonstrated the potential to reduce the amount of manual intervention.
Examples include the Sledgehammer tool providing an interface between
Isabelle and (untrusted) automated provers, and also collaboration of
the HOL Light and Isabelle systems in the formal proof of the Kepler
conjecture.
Cooperation between reasoning systems relies on availability of
theoretical formalisms and practical tools to exchange problems,
proofs, and models. The PxTP workshop strives to encourage such
cooperation by inviting contributions on suitable integration,
translation and communication methods, standards, protocols,
and programming interfaces. The workshop welcomes the interested
developers of automated and interactive theorem proving tools,
developers of combined systems, developers and users of translation
tools and interfaces, and producers of standards and protocols.
We are interested both in success stories and in descriptions
of the current bottlenecks and proposals for improvement.
Topics
Topics of interest for this workshop include all aspects of
cooperation between reasoning tools, whether automatic or
interactive. More specifically, some suggested topics are:
* applications that integrate reasoning tools (ideally
with certification of the result);
* translations between logics, proof systems, models;
* distribution of proof obligations among heterogeneous
reasoning tools;
* algorithms and tools for checking and importing (replaying,
reconstructing) proofs;
* proposed formats for expressing problems and solutions for
different classes of logic solvers (SAT, SMT, QBF, first-order
logic, higher-order logic, typed logic, rewriting, etc.);
* meta-languages, logical frameworks, communication methods,
standards, protocols, and APIs connected to problems, proofs,
and models;
* comparison, refactoring, and optimization of proofs;
* practical experiences, case studies, feasibility studies;
* applications relying on importing proofs from automatic theorem
provers, such as certified static analysis, proof-carrying code,
or certified compilation;
* data structures and algorithms for improved proof production in
solvers (e.g., efficient proof representations).
Submissions
Researchers interested in participating are invited to submit either
an extended abstract (up to 8 pages) or a regular paper (up to 15
pages). Submissions will be refereed by the program committee, which
will select a balanced program of high-quality contributions. Short
submissions that could stimulate fruitful discussion at the workshop
are particularly welcome. We expect that one author of every accepted
paper will present their work at the workshop.
Submitted papers should describe previously unpublished work, and must
be prepared using the LaTeX EPTCS class (http://style.eptcs.org/).
Papers will be submitted via EasyChair, at the PxTP'2015 workshop page
(http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=pxtp2015). Accepted full
papers will appear in an EPTCS volume.
