CPP 2023: Certified Programs and Proofs
CALL FOR PAPERS- Certified Programs and Proofs (CPP) is an international conference on practical and theoretical topics in all areas that consider formal verification and certification as an essential paradigm for their work. CPP spans areas of computer science, mathematics, logic, and education.
CPP 2023 (https://popl23.sigplan.org/home/CPP-2023) will be held on 16-17 January 2023 and will be co-located with POPL 2023 in Boston, Massachusetts, United States. CPP 2023 is sponsored by ACM SIGPLAN, in cooperation with ACM SIGLOG.
CPP 2023 will welcome contributions from all members of the community. The CPP 2023 organizers will strive to enable both in-person and remote participation, in cooperation with the POPL 2023 organizers. - IMPORTANT DATES (Strict, AoE)
