Logical frameworks and meta-languages form a common substrate forrepresenting, implementing and reasoning about a wide variety ofdeductive systems of interest in logic and computer science. Theirdesign, implementation and their use in reasoning tasks, ranging fromthe correctness of software to the properties of formalsystems, have been the focus of considerable research over the last twodecades.

This workshop will bring together designers, implementors andpractitioners to discuss various aspects impinging on the structure andutility of logical frameworks, including the treatment of variablebinding, inductive and co-inductive reasoning techniques and theexpressiveness and lucidity of the reasoning process.

Submission Guidelines

In addition to regular papers, we welcome/encourage the submission of "work in progress" reports, in a broad sense. Those do not need to report fully polished research results, but should be of interest for the community at large. Submitted papers should be in PDF, formatted using the EPTCS styleguidelines. The length is restricted to 15 pages for regular papers and8 pages for "Work in Progress" papers.  

Submission is via EasyChair:https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=lfmtp2021

List of Topics

LFMTP 2021 will provide researchers a forum to present state-of-the-arttechniques and discuss progress in areas such as the following:

• Encoding and reasoning about the meta-theory of programming languages,  logical systems and related formally specified systems.
• Theoretical and practical issues concerning the treatment of variable  binding, especially the representation of, and reasoning about,  datatypes defined from binding signatures. 
• Logical treatments of inductive and co-inductive definitions and  associated reasoning techniques, including inductive types of higher  dimension in homotopy type theory.
• Graphical languages for building proofs, applications in geometry,  equational reasoning and category theory.
• New theory contributions: canonical and substructural frameworks,  contextual frameworks, proof-theoretic foundations supporting  binders, functional programming over logical frameworks,  homotopy and cubical type theory.
• Applications of logical frameworks: proof-carrying architectures, proof  exchange and transformation, program refactoring, etc.
• Techniques for programming with binders in functional programming  languages such as Haskell, OCaml or Agda, and logic programming  languages such as lambda Prolog or Alpha-Prolog.
