Visits of International Scientists

• Andrew Tolmach, from Portland State University, visited the team as a one-year Digiteo Chair, in collaboration with other groups in the Paris area (LRI/Univ. Paris-Sud, LIX/Polytechnique, Inria Saclay and Rocquencourt). The project is to initiate a new research effort to develop principles, techniques, and tools for large-scale proof engineering. It is focused on the Coq proof assistant and is designed to take advantage of the deep pool of expertise available in the Paris area concerning both the use and the development of Coq. Initial results include: a precise description of requirements for large proof management; sample prototype tools addressing one or more of these requirements; and a technical survey of relevant proof representation options  [106] .
