1. Reasoning with Bounded Cognitive Resources
Abstract : Reasoning is an essential element of intelligence. Automated reasoning in formal and symbolic systems is a major topic in computer science and artificial intelligence (AI). Programs for computer-assisted and automated theorem proving are being constructed and used by mathematicians and logicians. READ MORE

2. Extending the Automated Reasoning Toolbox
Abstract : Due to the semi-decidable nature of first-order logic, it can be desirable to address a wider range of problems than the standard ones of satisfiability and derivability. We extend the automated reasoning toolbox by introducing three new tools for analysing problems in first-order logic. Infinox aims to show finite unsatisfiability, i.e. READ MORE

4. Case-Based Structural Design - Using Weakly Structured Product and Process Information
Abstract : Empirical knowledge plays a significant role in the human reasoning process. Previous experiences help in understanding new situations and in finding solutions to new problems. Experience is used when performing different tasks, both those of routine character and those that require specific skill. This is also the case for structural designers. READ MORE

5. A framework for reasoning about Erlang code
Abstract : We present a framework for formal reasoning about the behaviour of software written in Erlang, a functional programming language with prominent support for process based concurrency, message passing communication and distribution. The framework contains the following key ingredients: a specification language based on the mu-calculus and first-order predicate logic, a hierarchical small-step structural operational semantics of Erlang, a judgement format allowing parameterised behavioural assertions, and a Gentzen style proof system for proving validity of such assertions.
