    40 {\bf Overview:}
       
    41 Dealing with binders, renaming of bound variables, capture-avoid\-ing
       
    42 substitution, etc., is very often a major problem in formal proofs about the
       
    43 lambda-calculus and programming language theory. Nominal Isabelle provides an
       
    44 infrastructure for reasoning conveniently about bound variables and
       
    45 alpha-equivalence classes in the proof assistant Isabelle. The aim of the
       
    46 tutorial is to give participants a reading knowledge of nominal
       
    47 techniques and allow them to start using Nominal Isabelle in their
       
    48 own work.  The tutorial will be hands-on and therefore participants are 
       
    49 encouraged to bring their own laptop.

    59  & Isar proof language\\ 
       
    60 
       
    61 Session II: &
       
    62  strong induction principles, contexts with holes,\\ 
       
    63  & beta-reduction\\

    65 Session III: &
       
    66  variable convention, evaluation relation, CK-machines\\

    74 {\bf Target audience:} Researchers and doctoral students who want to use
       
    75 Nominal Isabelle to formalise proofs from the lambda-calculus, from programming 
       
    76 language theory or from proof theory, such as type soundness, Church Rosser, 
       
    77 strong normalisation and so on. The tutorial is designed for people who 
       
    78 have not necessarily used Isabelle before, nor have used any other proof 
       
    79 assistant.\bigskip
