This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 21st International Conference on Theorem Proving in Higher Order Logics, TPHOLs 2008, held in Montreal, Canada, in August 2008. The 17 revised full papers presented together with 1 proof pearl (concise and elegant presentations of interesting examples), 5 tool presentations, and 2 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 40 submissions. The papers cover all aspects of theorem proving in higher order logics as well as related topics in theorem proving and verification such as formal semantics of specification, modeling, and programming languages, specification and verification of hardware and software, formalisation of mathematical theories, advances in theorem prover technology, as well as industrial application of theorem provers.
