 \begin{abstract} 
 Nominal Isabelle is a definitional extension of the Isabelle/HOL theorem
 prover. It provides a proving infrastructure for convenient reasoning about
-programming language calculi. In this paper we present an extension of Nominal
-Isabelle in order to deal with general binding structures. Such binding structures
-are ubiquitous in programming language research and only very poorly supported
-with single binders, as for example found in the lambda-calculus. For our
-extension we introduce novel definitions of alpha-equivalence and establish
-automatically the reasoning infrastructure for alpha-equated terms. This
-includes a strong induction principle which has the variable convention
-already built in.
