FLIRTS
Formalism, Logic, Institution - Relating, Translating and Structuring
The notion of institution and similar meta-notions try to capture
the essence of what a logical system is.
With this, it is possible to develop concepts for the structuring of
specifications, parameterization, implementation, refinement, development,
proof calculi and even tools in a way completely independent of the
underlying logical system. There are also morphisms that allow
to relate and translate logical systems. Important applications of this
are re-use of logical structure (also called borrowing), heterogeneous
specification and combination of logics.
The FLIRTS initiative intends to offer a forum for all
people involved in research in this area.

The FLIRTS coordination now has been taken over by Till Mossakowski.
Thanks to Maura Cerioli for initiating FLIRTS and organizing the first
two meetings.
