The Isabelle Collections Framework

This development provides an efficient, extensible, machine checked collections framework for use in Isabelle/HOL. The library adopts the concepts of interface, implementation and generic algorithm from object-oriented programming and implements them in Isabelle/HOL. The framework features the use of data refinement techniques to refine an abstract specification (using high-level concepts like sets) to a more concrete implementation (using collection datastructures, like red-black-trees). The code-generator of Isabelle/HOL can be used to generate efficient code in all supported target languages, i.e. Haskell, SML, and OCaml
