We are happy to announce that two groups in North America have proposed to organize TPHOLs2000. Please read their proposals before you vote, to get the best idea of what they plan.
The organizing committee of TPHOLs'99 will manage a poll of the
community to select the venue for TPHOLs'2000. A longstanding convention
is that the annual conference should be held in acontinent different to
the location of the previous meeting.This means that TPHOLs'2000 should
be held outside Europe. Also, at TPHOLs'98 some people mentioned the possibility
to regroup TPHOLs'2000 with other events among which FTP (First-order theorem
proving) and CADE (Conference on Automated Deduction). Sites interested
by such a possibility should get in touch with:
FTP: Paola Bonacina (bonacina@cs.uiowa.edu).
CADE: Frank Pfenning (fp@cs.cmu.edu).
Note that this idea is controversial in the community, so the fact that we mention it should not be taken as a recommendation.
We encourage sites willing to organize TPHOLs'2000 to send to TPHOLs99@sophia.inria.fr a two-page presentation of their bid where they summarize the main information. Examples of last year bids can be found at
http://www.inria.fr/croap/TPHOLs99/bids99html..
We will accept proposals till August 1.
We will then solicit votes from the user-communities for the major higher order logic theorem provers - Coq, Isabelle, HOL, Lego, Nuprl and PVS. We will collect votes over the 3 week period fron August 16 to September 5. The winner should be announced on September 8.
We will maintain a web page containing the lastest information
at
http://www.inria.fr/croap/TPHOLs2000.html.
