Conference History
The TPHOLs Conference Series
TPHOLs 2008 is the twenty-first in a series of international conferences on
the applications of higher order logic theorem proving.
The first three (two at Cambridge and one at Århus) were
informal users' meetings for the HOL system and were the only ones
without published papers. Between 1991 and 1995 (Davis, Leuven,
Vancouver, Malta, Utah) the conference entertained an increasingly
wide field of interest.
The evolution resulted in the program committee for the meeting in
Turku (1996) deeming that the scope of the conference included all
reasoning tools for higher order logics and adopted the name TPHOLs,
being an acronym for Theorem Proving in Higher Order Logics. (The
final letter being considered necessary to break the direct connection
between the conference and the HOL system.) This decision was strongly
endorsed at the business sessions at Turku and Murray Hill (1997).
An extensive collection of links to various aspects of previous
conferences in the series may be found below.
Associated Communities
An inspection of the proceedings of recent conferences show that the
conference accommodates the user communities of a number of theorem proving
systems that support higher order logics. The interested reader is referred to

Traditions
A longstanding convention is that the annual conference should be
held in a continent different to the location of the previous
meeting.
Another tradition is that the organizers for each meeting handle all
aspects of the conference for the whole year in consultation with the
previous few organizers. This includes selection of the programme
committee, editing the proceedings, fund-raising, programme and local
arrangements.
Another responsibility of the organizers in year n is to call
for bids and conduct a poll for the selection of the venue for the
conference in year n+1.
