In this paper we give a short introduction in first-order theorem proving and the use of the
theorem prover Vampire. We discuss the superposition calculus and explain the key …

Handbook of Knowledge Representation describes the essential foundations of Knowledge
Representation, which lies at the core of Artificial Intelligence (AI). The book provides an up …

Automated reasoning has matured into one of the most advanced areas of computer
science. During the half-century since the pioneering publications of the 1950s, significant …

Fast changing, increasingly complex, and diverse computing platforms pose central
problems in scientific computing: How to achieve, with reasonable effort, portable optimal …

An information retrieval technique, latent semantic indexing, is used to automatically identify
traceability links from system documentation to program source code. The results of two …

Unification is a fundamental process upon which many methods for automated deduction
are based. Unification theory abstracts from the specific applications of this process: it …

In this article we describe VAMPIRE: a high‐performance theorem prover for first‐order
logic. As our description is mostly targeted to the developers of such systems and specialists …

In the analysis of security protocols, methods and tools for reasoning about protocol
behaviors have been quite effective. We aim to expand the scope of those methods and …

In this paper, we address the question of how to automatically map computational kernels to
highly efficient code for a wide range of computing platforms and establish the correctness of …

Publisher Summary Mathematical logicians had developed the art of formalizing declarative
knowledge long before the advent of the computer age. But they were interested primarily in …
