Subject: Call for Papers - Conference on Theorem Proving in Higher Order Logics


                              CALL FOR PAPERS:

                    THE 1996 INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON

                   THEOREM PROVING IN HIGHER ORDER LOGICS

BACKGROUND

 The 1996 International Conference on Theorem Proving in Higher Order Logics
 will be the ninth conference in a series dating back to 1988.  The Conference
 will be held on 27-30 August 1996 (Tuesday to Friday) in Turku, in south-west
 Finland.  Previous conferences have been held in Cambridge (UK), Arhus, Davis,
 Leuven, Vancouver, Malta and Salt Lake City.
 
TOPICS

 The programme committee welcome submissions on all aspects of theorem proving,
 particularly those relating to higher order logics or to proof systems based
 on secure mechanizations of logic.  This includes, but is not limited to, the
 following areas:

  o advances in theorem proving technology
  o proof automation and decision procedures
  o applications of mechanized theorem proving
  o development and extension of higher order logics
  o comparisons between various approaches to theorem proving
  o exploitation of external tools within theorem provers
  o incorporation of theorem provers into larger systems
  o novel industrial applications of theorem provers

SUBMISSION

 Submissions are invited in the following categories:

  o Category A: Full research paper
  o Category B: Informal progress report

 Submissions under category A will be fully refereed, and accepted papers
 published in the conference proceedings.  Submissions accepted under
 category B will be distributed in an informal proceedings at the workshop.
 Unless otherwise requested, submissions rejected under category A will
 also be considered for inclusion under category B.  Submissions under 15
 pages are preferred.

 Email submissions may be sent to the organizing committee at orgcom@abo.fi.
 PostScript format is preferred. All submissions will be promptly acknowledged.
 Papers may also be physically sent to any member of the organizing committee
 at the following address:
