ITP 2015 will be in Nanjing, China

[Important Dates] [Programme] [Travel + Registration]
[Accepted Papers] [CFP] [Committees] [Conference History] [ITP 2016 Bids]

The 6th conference on Interactive Theorem Proving will be held in Nanjing, China. Nanjing is situated in the heart of China — close to Shanghai and roughly equidistant between Beijing and Hong Kong. It is a former capital during the Ming Dynasty with a rich cultural heritage. The proceedings will be published as usual in the LNCS Series. There are several groups in the ITP area that are active in China. For example for the last five years there have been popular summerschools in China about Coq with 50 or so student participants each. ITPs (and TPHOLs) have never been hosted in China, and this might be an opportunity for the ITP community to foster relations with researchers from China and Asia, and for local researchers to become part of the ITP community.

Accepted papers

There will be an Isabelle tutorial before the conference (21 - 23 August), and

a Coq tutorial after the conference (27 - 29 August).

Tentative Programme

The conference will be held in the last week of August (24th - 27th August 2015). As is the tradition, the conference consists of 4 days of research presentations and invited talks. Like in previous conferences, we will allow ample time between the formal sessions for attendees to mingle and converse. Half a day will be dedicated to an excursion to Yangzhou and the Slender West Lake. The list of accepted papers can be found here.

Travel to Nanjing

Nanjing is a major city in China. There are international airline connections directly to Nanjing Lukou Airport and via transfer at airports in Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai and many others. There are also very convenient train connections from Shanghai and Beijing, which take slightly more than 1h from Shanghai and about 4h from Beijing. Travel within Nanjing can be done cheaply via taxi and public transport. We will post detailed travel instructions nearer the time.

Remember that travelling to China requires visas, but they should be relatively easy to obtain for participants. You will need a letter of invitation which Xingyuan will send you (xingyuanzhang at 126 dot com). You need to provide him with name, title, work address, e-mail and paper title (if you present a paper).

Venue and Accommodation

The conference will take place at the Hanyuan Hotel, which is relatively inexpensive (ca. 350元/£35/$60/€40 per night including breakfast) and in easy reach from the city centre (see here at Google Maps). We have reserved rooms for participants and will soon send details about the booking procedure. There are also many additional hotels in all price categories nearby.

The conference hotel has the usual amenities (Wifi, conference rooms, etc). Hanyuan Hotel includes a restaurant and there are innumerable restaurants around the hotel and in downtown Nanjing, all usually very affordable.

Local Information

Being in China, Nanjing offers the usual conveniences of good and affordable food. It has several excellent museums and tourist attractions. In the nearby vicinity are touristic hotspots like Yangzhou, Hangzhou, Wuxi and Suzhou. If you want to explore Nanjing yourself, the best tour is to go to the Purple Mountains passing by the Linggusi pagoda, the city wall and the Ming tombs (see pictures on the left). There is a wide selection of excellent restaurants around Nanjing's Confucius Temple.

Excursion

The excursion will be to Yangzhou (1h away from Nanjing by bus). The tour will include a walk around the Slender West Lake with its pavilions, the white Lotus Flower Pagoda and the Suzhou-style gardens. One the way we would visit the Daming Temple and the old Stone Pagoda of Yangzhou. The day will finish with a dinner in the well-known Fuchun restaurant.
