<p><span style="font-family: Courier\ New, Courier, monospace;">Logical
frameworks and meta-languages form a common substrate for<br>
representing, implementing and reasoning about a wide
variety of<br>
deductive systems of interest in logic and computer science.
Their<br>
design, implementation and their use in reasoning tasks,
ranging from<br>
the correctness of software to the properties of formal<br>
systems, have been the focus of considerable research over
the last two<br>
decades. This workshop will bring together designers,
implementors and<br>
practitioners to discuss various aspects impinging on the
structure and<br>
utility of logical frameworks, including the treatment of
variable<br>
binding, inductive and co-inductive reasoning techniques and
the<br>
expressiveness and lucidity of the reasoning process.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Courier\ New, Courier, monospace;">LFMTP
2018 will provide researchers a forum to present
state-of-the-art<br>
techniques and discuss progress in areas such as the
following:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Courier\ New, Courier, monospace;">*
Encoding and reasoning about the meta-theory of programming
languages,<br>
logical systems and related formally specified systems.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Courier\ New, Courier, monospace;">*
Theoretical and practical issues concerning the treatment of
variable<br>
binding, especially the representation of, and reasoning
about,<br>
datatypes defined from binding signatures.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Courier\ New, Courier, monospace;">*
Logical treatments of inductive and co-inductive definitions
and<br>
associated reasoning techniques, including inductive types
of higher<br>
dimension in homotopy type theory</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Courier\ New, Courier, monospace;">*
Graphical languages for building proofs, applications in
geometry,<br>
equational reasoning and category theory.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Courier\ New, Courier, monospace;">*
New theory contributions: canonical and substructural
frameworks,<br>
contextual frameworks, proof-theoretic foundations
supporting<br>
binders, functional programming over logical frameworks,<br>
homotopy and cubical type theory.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Courier\ New, Courier, monospace;">*
Applications of logical frameworks: proof-carrying
architectures, proof<br>
exchange and transformation, program refactoring, etc.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Courier\ New, Courier, monospace;">*
Techniques for programming with binders in functional
programming<br>
languages such as Haskell, OCaml or Agda, and logic
programming<br>
languages such as lambda Prolog or Alpha-Prolog.</span></p>

submission deadline: Sunday April 8th<br>
Submission deadline: Sunday April 15th<br>
Notification to authors: Tuesday May 15th<br>
Final version due: Friday May 25th<br>

<p><br>
<span style="font-family: Courier\ New, Courier, monospace;">Submission</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Courier\ New, Courier, monospace;">In
addition to regular papers, we accept the submission of
"work in progress"<br>
reports, in a broad sense. Those do not need to report
fully polished<br>
research results, but should be of interest for the
community at large.<br>
Submitted papers should be in PDF, formatted using the EPTCS
style<br>
guidelines. The length is restricted to 15 pages for regular
papers and<br>
8 pages for "Work in Progress" papers. Submission is via
EasyChair:<br>
<a href="https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=lfmtp18">https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=lfmtp18</a>.</span></p>
<p><br>
<span style="font-family: Courier\ New, Courier, monospace;">Proceedings</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Courier\ New, Courier, monospace;">Accepted
regular papers will be included in the proceedings of LMFTP<br>
2018, whose mode of publication will be determined shortly.</span></p>
