Abstract

Tree automata are a fundamental tool in computer science. We report on experiments to integrate tree automata in Coq using shallow and deep reflection techniques. While shallow reflection seems more natural in this context, it turns out to give disappointing results. Deep reflection is more difficult to apply, but is more promising.
