  International Conference on Theorem Proving in Higher Order Logics

             Kaiserslautern, Germany, September 10-13, 2007
              http://rsg.informatik.uni-kl.de/TPHOLs-2007

TPHOLs 2007 is the twentieth international conference on theorem proving
in higher order logics. Topics presented at TPHOLs conferences typically
cover all aspects of theorem proving in higher order logics, all kinds of
applications of interactive theorem provers of higher order logics like
specification and verification of hardware and software systems or
reasoning about the semantics of different kinds of languages.

The conference programme consists of 26 regular presentations and several
work-in-progress presentations. We are proud to further present three
invited talks given by Constance L. Heitmeyer (Naval Research Laboratory,
Washington, DC, USA), Xavier Leroy (INRIA, Paris-Rocquencourt, France),
and Peter Liggesmeyer (Fraunhofer IESE, Kaiserslautern, Germany). 
Moreover, the first workshop on formal verification of adaptive systems
(VerAS) is co-lated with TPHOLs and is held on September 14, 2007.

The conference takes place at the Fraunhofer Centre Kaiserslautern,
home of the Fraunhofer IESE and ITWM.

Registration for the conference should be done as described on the TPHOLs
web pages http://rsg.informatik.uni-kl.de/TPHOLs-2007/registration.html
until July 27th, 2007 (early registration).
