Automated Reasoning with Analytic Tableaux and Related Methods: 16th International Conference, TABLEAUX 2007, Aix en Provence, France, July 3-6, 2007. Proceedings

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Automated Reasoning with Analytic Tableaux and Related Methods, TABLEAUX 2007, held in Aix en Provence, France in July 2007.

The 14 revised research papers presented together with two system descriptions as well as three invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 43 submissions. The papers cover many topics in the wide range of logics, from intuitionistic and substructural logics to modal logics (including temporal and dynamic logics), from many-valued logics to nonmonotonic logics, and from classical first-order logic to description logics. Some contributions are focused on decision procedures, others on efficient reasoning, as well as on implementation of theorem provers. A few papers explore applications such as model-checking, verification, or knowledge engineering. In addition, other contributions make use of tableaux as a tool for theoretical investigation of logics.
