We would like to ask you to send around the following announcement:
TYPES WORKING GROUP
WORKSHOP ON
SUBTYPING, INHERITANCE AND MODULAR DEVELOPMENT OF PROOFS
Durham (U.K.), August 29-31 1997
Call for Contribution and Participation
The workshop is to be held at University of Durham, U.K. The
aim of the workshop is to exchange ideas and research results in the
area of formal proof systems and proof engineering. Researchers who
are interested in related topics (for example, isomorphism of types
and other theoretico-categorical aspects of formal systems, involved
in proof engineering), including those who are not
formally involved with the TYPES Working Group, are welcome to participate and
make contributions to the workshop (about Esprit WG, see
"http://www.cs.chalmers.se/ComputingScience/Research/Logic/TypesWG/")
The topics (the list is not exaustive) of the workshop include:
-- proof inheritance, proof reuse, and modularisation of
proof development
-- subtyping mechanisms in type theory
-- module mechanisms for type theory and proof development
-- subtyping and coercions in proof assistants
-- proof theory and model theory of subtyping
-- other applications of subtyping and inheritance mechanisms
Venue

Grey College at the University of Durham. There are standard
computer connections from the college and demonstration facilities,
including computer projection.
