IST European project 29001: Computer-Assisted Reasoning based on Type Theory (TYPES)


TYPES Summer School'02:

Theory and Practice of Formal Proofs

Giens, France, September 2-13, 2002


Objective and background

During the last few years major achievements have been made in using computers for interactive proof developments to produce secure software.
This two weeks' course is for postgraduate students, researchers and industrials who want to learn about interactive proof development. The present school follows the format of the previous Types summer school: Types'99. There will be introductory and advanced lectures on lambda calculus, type theory, logical frameworks, program extraction, and other topics which give relevant theoretical background. Several talks will be devoted to the presentation of applications.
The proof assistants presented in the school represent the current state-of-the-art in interactive theorem proving. Participants will get extensive opportunities to use the systems in a workstation environment for developing their own proofs.

Location and accommodation: See the venue informations.

The summer school will take place in a holiday village in the peninsula of Giens, facing the well known most beautiful islands in the French Riviera: Porquerolles and Port-Cros (boats to there every hour, every day). The village is located in 34 hectars of pine forests, with a few tranquil inlets to explore. There will be many (sea-side or not) activities available, including scuba diving, catamarans, windsurfer rental, sea canoe hire, montain bike, jogging, tennis, etc.
