The tutorials day of this conference will provide a good overview of
mechanized formal methods for hardware design verification.  There will
also be an opportunity to see demonstrations of eight theorem provers:
Nuprl, LP, Veritas-90, SDVS, OTTER, Boyer-Moore, HOL88, and ICL-HOL.

                     TPCD CONFERENCE 1992:
              THEOREM PROVERS IN CIRCUIT DESIGN:
               THEORY, PRACTICE AND EXPERIENCE

June 22-24 , 1992, University of Nijmegen, The Netherlands

ADVANCE PROGRAMME & CALL FOR REGISTRATION

Supported by: - IFIP  TC10/WG 10.2  and
              - the Dutch National Facility for  Informatics (NFI)

*FOCUS AND OBJECTIVES

 Formal methods and theorem proving technology are increasingly seen
as important in the design of digital systems. The aim of this
conference is to provide a forum for discussing the role of theorem
provers in the design of digital systems. The topics of interest
include the philosophy behind such tools, their design and
development, their evolution, and their evaluation through use. Of
equal importance is the migration path of a theorem proving tool and
the associated technology into current digital engineering practice.

 The conference programme will start with a day of tutorial
presentations on a variety of theorem provers and their associated
design methodologies.  This is followed by two days of presentations
on current research in the area. The programme also includes invited
lectures by four prominent researchers in the field of logic and
machine-assisted verification.

 The intended audience includes workers in the field of hardware
verification as well as practising digital designers.
