Abstract
Logical frameworks have been designed as meta-languages in which deductive systems can be specified naturally and concisely. By providing direct support for common concepts of logics and programming languages, framework implementations such as Isabelle allow the rapid construction of theorem proving environments for specific logics. Logical frameworks have found significant applications in a variety of areas, including program and protocol verification and safe execution of mobile code.
