==============================================================================

This scientific meeting is the fifth in a series of annual workshops focusing  
arround the topic of higher order logic theorem proving, its usage in the HOL 
system and its applications. Previous workshops have taken place in Cambridge 
UK, Aarhus Denmark and Davis California.

The HOL system is a higher order logic theorem proving system implemented at
Cambridge University.  It has found many applications, from the verification 
of hardware designs at all levels to the verification of programs and 
communication protocols. Besides HOL, also contributions and experiences with 
other implementations of higher order logic are welcomed.

TOPICS. 
=======

Papers are invited related to all topics concerning higher order logic theorem 
proving and its applications in HOL and/or other higher order logic based 
theorem provers. This includes, but is not limitted to the following subjects:

* Formal Hardware Design and Verification. 
* Formal Software Design and Verification. 
* System Level Verification.
* Transformational Design.
* Hardware / Software co-Design.
* Basic Proof Techniques and Developments.
* Industrial applications of higher order logic proving.
* Trade off Theorem Proving / OBDD's.
* Efficient implementations of higher order logic.
* Embedding other formalisms in higher order logic.
* Interfacing with hardware description languages.
* User interface aspects of interactive proof.
* Practical experiences.

Authors should send seven copies of either an extended abstract or a full 
paper describing the proposed presentation to the workshop chair. 
Electronic mail submissions in PostScript format will also be accepted.
Accepted papers will be published in Proceedings by North-Holland.

For proposals of tutorials, demonstrations and panel sessions please send an 
abstract description to the workshop chair.
