We describe a framework with which first order theorem provers can be used for checking formal proofs. The main aim of the framework is to take as much advantage as possible from t...
We propose a natural framework, called NF, which supports development of formal proofs on a computer. NF is based on a theory of Judgments and Derivations. NF is designed by observ...
Refinement types sharpen systems of simple and dependent types by offering expressive means to more precisely classify well-typed terms. We present a system of refinement types for...
We have designed and implemented a general and powerful distributed authentication framework based on higher-order logic. Authentication frameworks — including Taos, SPKI, SDSI,...
The dependency pair approach is one of the most powerful techniques for automated termination proofs of term rewrite systems. Up to now, it was regarded as one of several possible ...
