1st International Workshop about Sets and Tools (SETS 2014)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS -- SETS 2014 ******************************************************************************** 1st International Workshop about Sets and Tools (SETS 2014) June 2, 2014, Toulouse, France Affiliated to ABZ 2014 http://sets2014.cnam.fr/ ******************************************************************************** AIM Sets and constructs built upon them like relations, functions, sequences are the main modeling ingredients of formalisms such as VDM, Z, B, or Event-B. Sets also occur in the formalization of mathematics, as evidenced by the large library of the Mizar proof system for example. In addition, still in the domain of theorem proving, there is an increasing interest to automate set theory (which is known to be a difficult problem), with some concrete realizations, such as mp (the "main prover" of Atelier B) or Muscadet (an automated theorem prover for natural deduction, which gives some good performances in set theory). Sets are also the main features of some programming languages like the former SetL language or the more recent {log} language (pronounced as setlog). The workshop aims at bringing together researchers interested in set theory, especially to design tools for dealing with set theory, such as interactive or automated theorem provers, proof checkers, theories for general purpose proof tools, constraint solvers, programming languages etc. These tools may be dedicated or general purpose tools. Contributions by theoreticians working on set theories or fragments of set theories in the aim of designing concrete tools, and by practitioners using set-based tools are both welcome. We are also interested by contributions providing some comparisons between set modeling techniques and other formalisms, such as type theory (and variants) for instance. Finally, regarding the domains of application, we mainly expect contributions in the framework of formal methods, but not exhaustively, and contributions reporting formalizations of mathematics using set theory for example could be of interest for this workshop as well. TOPICS Topics of interest for this workshop include all aspects of set theory and corresponding tools. More specifically, some suggested topics are: * Proof tools for sets * Constraint solvers for sets * Set-based programming languages * Automated deduction in set theory * Set theories for SMT solvers * Encoding of sets in provers * Use of set-based tools in formal methods * Use of set-based tools in mathematics * Comparison of set-based tools * Comparison between set and type theories * Experience reports CONTRIBUTIONS AND PROCEEDINGS Submitted papers must be 6-15 pages in length, following the Springer LNCS format. These submissions may be: * Research papers providing new concepts and results * Position papers and research perspectives * Experience reports * Tool presentations Proceedings, including all the papers selected for the workshop, will be available electronically at the workshop. No copyright transfer agreement will be required from the authors. For this first edition of this workshop, we would like to put the emphasis on discussions rather than on conventional publications.
