We present a concept for an automated theorem prover that employs a search control based
on ideas from several areas of artificial intelligence (AI). The combination of case-based …

Conflicts between agents acting in a multi-agent environment arise for different reasons,
involve different concepts, and are dealt with in different ways, depending on the kind of …

The DISCOUNT system is a distributed equational theorem prover based on the teamwork
method for knowledge-based distribution. It uses an extended version of unfailing Knuth …

We consider a simple model of cooperation among agents called Coalitional Skill Games
(CSGs). This is a restricted form of coalitional games, where each agent has a set of skills …

This chapter surveys the research in parallel or distributed strategies for mechanical
theorem proving in first-order logic, and explores some of its connections with the research …

We present a knowledge-based distribution concept for sesxch problems that ot~ ex no
natural way to determine several agents to cooperate in finding a solution. Systems based …

This paper presents a taxonomy of parallel theorem-proving methods based on the control
of search (eg, master–slaves versus peer processes), the granularity of parallelism (eg, fine …

We present two learning inference control heuristics for equational deduction. Based on
data about facts that contributed to previous proofs, evaluation functions learn to select …

We present an alternative mechanism for representing concurrent theorem-proving activity
which primarily relies upon massive parallelism and efficient broadcast communication. This …

Distributed models for deduction allow for more powerful proof systems, but also lead to new
problems. In particular, the analysis of the deduction process becomes harder, as a number …
