CALL FOR PAPERS:

13th INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON
USER INTERFACES FOR THEOREM PROVERS (UITP 2018)

http://www.informatik.uni-bremen.de/uitp/uitp2018/

July 13th, 2018. Oxford, UK
A FLoC 2018 workshop.

The User Interfaces for Theorem Provers workshop series
(UITP) brings together researchers interested in designing,
developing and evaluating interfaces for interactive proof
systems, such as theorem provers, formal method tools, and
other tools manipulating and presenting mathematical
formulas.

While the reasoning capabilities of interactive proof
systems have increased dramatically over the last years, the
system interfaces have often not enjoyed the same attention
as the proof engines themselves. In many cases, interfaces
remain relatively basic and under-designed.

The User Interfaces for Theorem Provers workshop series
provides a forum for researchers interested in improving
human interaction with proof systems. We welcome
participation and contributions from the theorem proving,
formal methods and tools, and HCI communities, both to
report on experience with existing systems, and to discuss
new directions. Topics covered include, but are not limited
to:

* Application-specific interaction mechanisms or designs for prover
interfaces
* Experiments and evaluation of prover interfaces
* Languages and tools for authoring, exchanging and presenting proof
* Implementation techniques (e.g. web services, custom middleware, DSLs)
* Integration of interfaces and tools to explore and construct proof
* Representation and manipulation of mathematical knowledge or objects
* Visualization of mathematical objects and proof
* System descriptions

SUBMISSION
==========

Submitted papers should describe previously unpublished work
(completed or in progress), and be at least 4 pages and at
most 12 pages. We encourage concise and relevant
papers. Submissions should be in PDF format, and typeset
with the EPTCS LaTeX document class (which can be downloaded
from http://style.eptcs.org/). Submission is via EasyChair
(https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=uitp2018).

All papers will be peer reviewed by members of the programme
committee and selected by the organizers in accordance with
the referee reports.

At least one author/presenter of accepted papers must attend
the workshop and present the work.

IMPORTANT DATES
===============

Submission deadline:     15.04.2018
Acceptance notification: 15.05.2018
Workshop:                13.07.2018

PROCEEDINGS
===========

Authors will have the opportunity to incorporate feedback
and insights gathered during the workshop to improve their
accepted papers before publication in the post-proceedings
in the Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer
Science (EPTCS).
