Proceedings of the Sixteenth Workshop on Logical Frameworks and Meta-Languages: Theory and Practice
This is an incremental workshop for researchers in logic and computer science, discussing ongoing challenges without presenting new breakthroughs.
The workshop addressed the design, implementation, and application of logical frameworks and meta-languages for representing and reasoning about deductive systems in logic and computer science, focusing on topics like variable binding and inductive reasoning, but did not report specific results or numbers.
Logical frameworks and meta-languages form a common substrate for representing, implementing and reasoning about a wide variety of deductive systems of interest in logic and computer science. Their design, implementation and their use in reasoning tasks, ranging from the correctness of software to the properties of formal systems, have been the focus of considerable research over the last two decades. This workshop brings together designers, implementors and practitioners to discuss various aspects impinging on the structure and utility of logical frameworks, including the treatment of variable binding, inductive and co-inductive reasoning techniques and the expressiveness and lucidity of the reasoning process.
