Higher Order Logic Theorem Proving and Its Applications -

. .

Résumé :
This volume presents the proceedings of the 7th International Workshop on Higher Order Logic Theorem Proving and Its Applications held in Valetta, Malta in September 1994. Besides 3 invited papers, the proceedings contains 27 refereed papers selected from 42 submissions. In total the book presents many new results by leading researchers working on the design and applications of theorem provers for higher order logic. In particular, this book gives a thorough state-of-the-art report on applications of the HOL system, one of the most widely used theorem provers for higher order logic.
