Deduction modulo consists in presenting a theory through rewrite rules to support automatic and interactive proof search. It induces proof search methods based on narrowing, such a...
Abstract. One of the maincharacteristics of logical reasoning in knowledge based systems is its high computational complexity. Anytime deduction and anytime compilation are two att...
We report on an experiment in combining Isabelle with automatic first-order arithmetic provers to increase automation on the verification of distributed protocols. As a case study...
Although object-oriented languages can improve programming practices, their characteristics may introduce new problems for software engineers. One important problem is the presenc...
We describe a flexible approach to automated reasoning, where non-theorems can be automatically altered to produce proved results which are related to the original. This is achieve...
