Abstract

This volume contains a selection of papers presented at LFMTP 2020, the 15th International Workshop on Logical Frameworks and Meta-Languages: Theory and Practice (LFMTP), held the 29-30th of June, 2019, using the Zoom video conferencing tool due to COVID restrictions. Officially the workshop was held in Paris, France, and it was affiliated with IJCAR 2020, FSCD 2020 and many other satellite events. 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.
