Opis

This book constitutes the strictly refereed proceedings of the 14th International Conference on Automated Deduction, CADE-14, held in Townsville, North Queensland, Australia, in July 1997.
The volume presents 25 revised full papers selected from a total of 87 submissions; also included are 17 system descriptions and two invited contributions. The papers cover a wide range of current issues in the area including resolution, term rewriting, unification theory, induction, high-order logics, nonstandard logics, AI methods, and applications to software verification, geometry, and social science.
