Types For Proofs And Programs

This volume contains a refereed selection of revised full papers chosen from the contributions presented during the Third Annual Workshop held under the auspices of the ESPRIT Basic Research Action 6453 Types for Proofs and Programs. The workshop took place in Torino, Italy, in June 1995. Type theory is a formalism in which theorems and proofs, specifications and programs can be represented in a uniform way. The 19 papers included in the book deal with foundations of type theory, logical frameworks, and implementations and applications; all in all they constitute a state-of-the-art survey for the area of type theory.
