Theorem Proving in Higher Order Logics

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Theorem Proving in Higher Order Logics, TPHOLs 2000, held in Portland, Oregon, USA in August 2000. The 29 revised full papers presented together with three invited contributions were carefully reviewed and selected from 55 submissions. All current aspects of HOL theorem proving, formal verification of hardware and software systems, and formal verification are covered. Among the HOL theorem provers evaluated are COQ, HOL, Isabelle, HOL/SPIN, PVS, and Isabelle/HOL.
