Thoughts on Requirements and Design Issues of User Interfaces for Proof Assistants

This position paper discusses various issues concerning requirements and design of proof assistant user interfaces (UIs). After a review of some of the difficulties faced by UI projects in academia, it presents a high-level description of proof assistant interaction. This is followed by an exposition of use cases and object identification. Several examples demonstrate the usefulness of these re...

Proof Assistants for Natural Language Semantics

In this paper we discuss the use of interactive theorem provers (also called proof assistants) in the study of natural language semantics. It is shown that these provide useful platforms for NL semantics and reasoning on the one hand, and allow experiments to be performed on various frameworks and new theories, on the other. In particular, we show how to use Coq, a prominent type theory based p...

Algebraic Proof Assistants in HOL

We explore several ways to formalize the algebraic laws of CSP-like languages in HOL. The intent of the paper is to show how HOL can be tailored to acting as a proof assistant. The emphasis is therefore on the consequences of various choices to be made during the formalization for writing tactics. We end up with a proof assistant that allows a user to make steps of the granularity of an algebra...

Web-based configuration assistants

Configuration assistants are tools for guiding the final user in simple configuration tasks, such as product assembling and customisation or study plans generation. For their wide availability, Web-based configuration assistants are valuable in fields such as electronic commerce and information services. We describe a general approach for building web-based configuration assistants: from a high...
