                      Preliminary Call for Papers
       ITP 2011: 2nd International Conference on Interactive Theorem Proving
               22-25 August 2011, Nijmegen, The Netherlands

                              -----

ITP is the premier international conference for researchers from all
areas of interactive theorem proving and its applications. The inaugural 
meeting of ITP was held on 11-14 July 2010 in Edinburgh, Scotland, as 
part of the Federated Logic Conference (FLoC, 9-21 July 2010).  The 
second edition of ITP will take place in Nijmegen, The Netherlands, 
on 22-25 August 2011. ITP is the evolution of the TPHOLs conference 
series to the broad field of interactive theorem proving. TPHOLs 
meetings took place every year from 1988 until 2009. 


The program committee welcomes submissions on all aspects of
interactive theorem proving and its applications.  Examples of typical
topics include formal aspects of hardware or software (specification,
verification, semantics, synthesis, refinement, compilation, etc.);
formalization of significant bodies of mathematics; advances in
theorem prover technology (automation, decision procedures, induction,
combinations of systems and tools, etc.); other topics including those
relating to user interfaces, education, comparisons of systems, and
mechanizable logics; and concise and elegant worked examples ("Proof
Pearls").

Submission details will be provided in a forthcoming call for paper. 
Two types of submissions are possible. Research papers may be no 
longer than 16 pages must describe original unpublished work not 
submitted for publication elsewhere. Rough diamond submissions 
are limited to six pages and may consist of an extended abstract.  
They will be refereed: they will be expected to present innovative and 
promising ideas, possibly in an early form and without supporting 
evidence. All papers must be presented in a way that users of other systems
can understand. As for the last edition, the intention is to publish the 
proceedings as a Springer's LNCS volume. 

Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their papers at the
conference and will be required to sign copyright release forms. 
All submissions must be written in English.
