Automated Reasoning with Analytic Tableaux and Related Methods

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the International Conference on Analytic Tableaux and Related Methods, TABLEAUX'97, held in Pont-a-Mousson, France, in May 1997. The volume presents 22 revised full papers selected from a total of 49 submissions. Also included are two invited papers and two system descriptions. The volume covers the whole spectrum of tableaux-based theorem proving and its applications including theoretical foundations, methodological issues, implementation techniques, and system development. Besides classical logics, among the logics dealt with are modal, intuitionistic, many-valued, and temporal logic.
