Lessons for Interactive Theorem Proving Researchers from a Survey of Coq Users

Authors: Ana de Almeida Borges, Annalí Casanueva Artís, Jean-Rémy Falleri, Emilio Jesús Gallego Arias, Érik Martin-Dorel, Karl Palmskog, Alexander Serebrenik, and Théo Zimmermann

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 268, 14th International Conference on Interactive Theorem Proving (ITP 2023)


Abstract
The Coq Community Survey 2022 was an online public survey of users of the Coq proof assistant conducted during February 2022. Broadly, the survey asked about use of Coq features, user interfaces, libraries, plugins, and tools, views on renaming Coq and Coq improvements, and also demographic data such as education and experience with Coq and other proof assistants and programming languages. The survey received 466 submitted responses, making it the largest survey of users of an interactive theorem prover (ITP) so far. We present the design of the survey, a summary of key results, and analysis of answers relevant to ITP technology development and usage. In particular, we analyze user characteristics associated with adoption of tools and libraries and make comparisons to adjacent software communities. Notably, we find that experience has significant impact on Coq user behavior, including on usage of tools, libraries, and integrated development environments.

BOTse: Bots in Software Engineering (Dagstuhl Seminar 19471)

Authors: Margaret-Anne Storey, Alexander Serebrenik, Carolyn Penstein Rosé, Thomas Zimmermann, and James D. Herbsleb

Published in: Dagstuhl Reports, Volume 9, Issue 11 (2020)


Abstract
This report documents the program and the outcomes of the Dagstuhl Seminar 19471 "BOTse: Bots in Software Engineering". This Dagstuhl seminar brought researchers and practitioners together from multiple research communities with disparate views of what bots are and what they can do for software engineering. The goals were to understand how bots are used today, how they could be used in innovative ways in the future, how the use of bots can be compared and synthesized, and to identify and share risks and challenges that may emerge from using bots in practice. The report briefly summarizes the goals and format of the seminar and provides selected insights and results collected during the seminar.

Termination of Programs using Term Rewriting and SAT Solving

Authors: Jürgen Giesl, Peter Schneider-Kamp, René Thiemann, Stephan Swiderski, Manh Thang Nguyen, Daniel De Schreye, and Alexander Serebrenik

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 7401, Deduction and Decision Procedures (2007)


Abstract
There are many powerful techniques for automated termination analysis of term rewrite systems (TRSs). However, up to now they have hardly been used for real programming languages. In this talk, we describe recent results which permit the application of existing techniques from term rewriting in order to prove termination of programs. We discuss two possible approaches: 1. One could translate programs into TRSs and then use existing tools to verify termination of the resulting TRSs. 2. One could adapt TRS-techniques to the respective programming languages in order to analyze programs directly. We present such approaches for the functional language Haskell and the logic language Prolog. Our results have been implemented in the termination provers AProVE and Polytool. In order to handle termination problems resulting from real programs, these provers had to be coupled with modern SAT solvers, since the automation of the TRS-termination techniques had to improve significantly. Our resulting termination analyzers are currently the most powerful ones for Haskell and Prolog.
