Contribution

The volume presents recent research on logical frameworks, including new techniques for variable binding, inductive reasoning, and enhancing expressiveness in formal systems.

Findings

Improved methods for variable binding in logical frameworks

Enhanced inductive and co-inductive reasoning techniques

Increased expressiveness and clarity in formal reasoning processes

Abstract

This volume contains a selection of papers presented at LFMTP 2019, the 14th International Workshop on Logical Frameworks and Meta-Languages: Theory and Practice (LFMTP), held on June 22, 2019, in Vancouver, Canada. The workshop was affiliated with the Thirty-Fourth Annual ACM/IEEE Symposium on Logic in Computer Science (LICS). Logical frameworks and meta-languages form a common substrate for representing, implementing and reasoning about a wide variety of deductive systems of interest in logic and computer science. Their design, implementation and their use in reasoning tasks, ranging from the correctness of software to the properties of formal systems, have been the focus of considerable research over the last two decades. This workshop will bring together designers, implementors and practitioners to discuss various aspects impinging on the structure and utility of logical frameworks, including the treatment of variable binding, inductive and co-inductive reasoning techniques and the expressiveness and lucidity of the reasoning process.
