In particular: - Mathematical algorithms - Tactics and proof search - Proofs - Mathematical notation Of particular interest are the dimensions of: - Expressiveness - Efficiency - Correctness - Understandability and Usability - Modularity and Extensibility - Design and implementation Mechanised mathematics systems, whether stand-alone or embedded in larger systems, include but are not limited to: - Dependent typed programming languages - Proof assistants - Computer algebra systems - Proof planning systems - Theorem proving systems - Theory formation systems These issues have a very colourful history. Why are all the languages of mainstream computer algebra systems untyped? (Not for lack of trying: Axiom and Magma both enjoy type systems, although they have not (yet) become mainstream.) Why are the (strongly typed) proof assistants so much harder to use than a typical computer algebra systems? What forms of polymorphism exist in mathematics? What forms of dependent types may be used in mathematical modelling? How can MMS regain the upper hand on issues of "genericity" and "modularity"? What are the biggest barriers when using more mainstream languages for computer algebra systems, proof assistants or theorems provers? Many programming language innovations appeared in either computer algebra or proof systems first, before migrating into more mainstream programming languages. This workshop is an opportunity to present the latest innovations in the design of MMS that may be relevant to future programming languages, or conversely novel programming language principles that improve upon the implementation and deployment of MMS. Submission Details ------------------ Accepted papers will appear in the ACM Digital Library. Papers should be submitted via the PLMMS 2010 easychair website: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=plmms2010 Submissions must describe original unpublished work which is not been submitted for publication elsewhere. At least one author of each accepted paper is expected to attend PLMMS 2010 and present her or his paper. Papers should be no more than 8 pages in length and are to be submitted in PDF format. They must conform to the ACM SIGPLAN style guidelines using 9-point font size (see http://www.acm.org/sigs/sigplan/authorInformation.htm - this also provides latex templates). Each submission must also adhere to SIGPLAN's republication policy (http://www.sigplan.org/republicationpolicy.htm). Papers will be reviewed by at least three reviewers and the authors will have an opportunity for rebuttal by the response deadline.
