CONFERENCE BACKGROUND

ITP is the premier international conference for researchers from all areas of
interactive theorem proving and its applications. It represents the natural
evolution of the TPHOLs conference series to include research related to all
other interactive theorem provers. TPHOLs meetings took place every year from
1988 until 2009. In 2010, the first ITP conference was held in Edinburgh,
Scotland, as part of the Federated Logic Conference (FLoC). Subsequent ITP
conferences were held in Nijmegen, The Netherlands, in 2011, Princeton, New
Jersey, USA, in 2012, and Rennes, France in 2013. ITP 2014 will again be a
part of FLoC, in Vienna, Austria.


PAPER SUBMISSIONS

ITP welcomes submissions describing original research on all aspects of
interactive theorem proving and its applications. In particular, the ITP
community is open to users of all interactive theorem provers. Suggested
topics include but are not limited to the following:

 -> formal aspects of hardware and software,
 -> formalizations of mathematics,
 -> improvements in theorem prover technology,
 -> user interfaces for interactive theorem provers,
 -> formalizations of computational models,
 -> use of theorem provers in education,
 -> industrial applications of interactive theorem provers, and
 -> concise and elegant worked examples of formalizations ("Proof Pearls").

Submissions must be made electronically in PDF format. Submissions should be
prepared using the Springer LNCS format, available from
http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs/lncs+authors, and submitted via
EasyChair. Submissions must describe original unpublished work not submitted
for publication elsewhere, presented in a way that is accessible to users of
other systems. The proceedings will be published as a volume in the Springer
Lecture Notes in Computer Science series and will be available to participants
at the conference.

ITP accepts both long papers (up to 16 pages) and "rough diamonds" (up to six
pages, possibly in the form of an extended abstract). Both categories of
papers will be fully refereed and included in the published proceedings.
Papers in the "rough diamonds" category are expected to present innovative and
promising ideas that have not yet had the time to mature. Regular papers are
expected to present mature research projects with appropriate supporting
evidence.

All papers should have an abstract of approximately 100 words. Note that
abstracts must be submitted a week prior to the paper submission deadline.
Papers should also include a list of relevant keywords, which must include the
name of the theorem prover featured in the paper. We strongly encourage
submissions that describe interactions with or improvements of a theorem
prover. Authors of such papers should provide verifiable evidence of an
implementation, such as appropriate source files. This material may be
uploaded via EasyChair or may be placed online, as long as a URL is included
with the submission.

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.
