Cover design:KunkelLopka¨ GmbH, Heidelberg Printed on acid-free paper Springer is part of Springer Science+Business Media (www.springer.com) Preface The contributions to this volume are drawn from the interdisciplinary research car- ried out within the Sonderforschungsbereich (SFB 378), a special long-term funding scheme of the German National Science Foundation (DFG). Sonderforschungsbere- ich 378 was situated at Saarland University, with colleagues from artificial intelli- gence, computational linguistics, computer science, philosophy, psychology – and in its final phases – cognitive neuroscience and psycholinguistics. The funding covered a period of 12 years, which was split into four phases of 3 years each, ending in December of 2007. Every sub-period culminated in an intensive reviewing process, comprising written reports as well as on-site pre- sentations and demonstrations to the external reviewers. We are most grateful to these reviewers for their extensive support and critical feedback; they contributed their time and labor freely to the DFG,1 the independent and self-organized insti- tution of German scientists. The final evaluation of the DFG reviewers judged the overall performance and the actual work with the highest possible mark, i.e. “excellent”. All contributions were written especially for this volume and summarize 12 years of research that has resulted in several hundred individual publications. They rep- resent in our opinion the most important subset of the many individual projects and offer an overarching perspective not reflected in the individual scientific pub- lications. Specifically, contributors sought to present their results in a summary fashion covering the main findings of this long period, while also making clear the technical and scientific contribution to the overarching theme of the volume: “resource-adaptive cognitive processes”. Each paper was reviewed by an internal and external expert in the specific subject area, and finally by the two editors. We are indebted to these reviewers, who offered their time to review each of the contributions. Finally, we are also most grateful for the intense collaboration with our col- leagues over this long time span of more than a decade: Hans Engelkamp (Psychol- ogy), Ulman Lindenberger (Psychology), Kuno Lorenz (Philosophy), Axel Meck- linger (Neuroscience), Manfred Pinkal (Computational Linguistics), Gert Smolka 1 This translates literally into “German Community of Scientists” v vi Preface (Computer Science), Werner Tack (Psychology), Hans Uszkoreit (Computational Linguistics), Wolfgang Wahlster (AI), Hubert Zimmer (Psychology).

    The Combined KEAPPA - IWIL Workshops Proceedings Proceedings of the workshops Knowledge Exchange: Automated Provers and Proof Assistants and The 7th International Workshop on the Implementation of Logics held at The 15th International Conference on Logic for Programming, Artificial Intelligence and Reasoning November 23-27, 2008, Doha, Qatar Knowledge Exchange: Automated Provers and Proof Assistants (KEAPPA) Existing automated provers and proof assistants are complementary, to the point that their cooperative integration would benefit all efforts in automating reasoning. Indeed, a number of specialized tools incorporating such integration have been built. The issue is, however, wider, as we can envisage cooper- ation among various automated provers as well as among various proof assistants. This workshop brings together practitioners and researchers who have experimented with knowledge exchange among tools supporting automated reasoning. Organizers: Piotr Rudnicki, Geoff Sutcliffe The 7th International Workshop on the Implementation of Logics (IWIL) IWIL has been unusually sucessful in bringing together many talented developers, and thus in sharing information about successful implementation techniques for automated reasoning systems and similar programs. The workshop includes contributions describing implementation techniques for and imple- mentations of automated reasoning programs, theorem provers for various logics, logic programming systems, and related technologies.

  • Parallel Theorem Proving
    Parallel Theorem Proving Maria Paola Bonacina Abstract This chapter surveys the research in parallel or distributed strategies for mechanical theorem proving in first-order logic, and explores some of its connec- tions with the research in the parallelization of decision procedures for satisfiability in propositional logic (SAT). We clarify the key role played by the Clause-Diffusion methodology for distributed deduction in moving parallel reasoning from the par- allelization of inferences to the parallelization of search, which is the dominating paradigm today. Since the quest for parallel first-order proof procedures has not been pursued recently, we endeavour to relate lessons learned from investigations of parallel theorem proving and parallel SAT-solving with novel advances in theorem proving, such as SGGS (Semantically-Guided Goal-Sensitive reasoning), a method that lifts the CDCL (Conflict-Driven Clause Learning) procedure for SAT to first- order logic. 1 Introduction Research on parallel theorem proving, meaning automatic theorem proving (ATP) in first-order logic, began in the mid and late 1980’s, flourished in the 1990’s, and came pretty much to a halt in the early 2000’s [192, 50, 210, 85, 37]. Research on parallel satisfiability solving, meaning satisfiability in propositional logic (SAT), began in the early 1990’s and is still actively pursued today (cf. [163, 114, 1, 158] and the chapters on Parallel Satisfiability and Cube and Conquer). It is probably unknown to most authors active in parallel SAT-solving that Hantao Zhang began work on his parallel SAT solver PSATO [227, 228], that pionereed the divide-and- conquer approach to parallel SAT-solving, after learning about the Clause-Diffusion Maria Paola Bonacina Dipartimento di Informatica, Universita` degli Studi di Verona, Strada Le Grazie 15, I-37134 Verona, Italy, EU.

  • Laudatio Auf Wolfgang Bibel Zu Seinem 80. Geburtstag
    Laudatio auf Wolfgang Bibel zu seinem 80. Geburtstag Wolfgang Wahlster Darmstadt, 23.11.2018 Lieber Wolfgang und liebe Monika, sehr verehrte Kollegen, liebe Festgemeinde, Wolfgang Bibel ist zwar 15 Jahre älter als ich, dennoch kennen wir uns seit mehr als 40 Jahren. Wolfgang Bibel und ich haben einiges gemeinsam: zunächst ganz banal den Vornamen, ja sogar den Vornamen Nora für eine unserer Töchter, aber natürlich entscheidend für den heutigen Tag: ein Leben für die Wissenschaftsdisziplin der Künstlichen Intelligenz - oder wie es Wolfgang immer bevorzugte - für die Intellektik. Es gibt aber auch gravierende Unterschiede: Wolfgang wurden auf seinem beruflichen Weg extreme Hindernisse in den Weg gelegt, am schlimmsten sicherlich das Scheitern des Habilitationsverfahrens in München, während meine Laufbahn dagegen sehr gradlinig verlief und sich aus Erzählperspektive im Vergleich zu meinem Kollegen und Freund Wolfgang regelrecht langweilig anhört. Das gleiche gilt auch im Privatleben: ich bin seit 50 Jahren mit meiner Klassenkameradin Doris aus dem Gymnasium zusammen, während Wolfgang eine Scheidung und laut seinen Memoiren etliche Affären hinter sich hatte, bis er mit Monika seine neue große Liebe im Jahr 1993 heiratete. Wolfgang hat insgesamt in 35 verschiedenen Wohnungen gelebt wobei „ihn die Lebensumstände um die Welt herumgehetzt hatten“ wie er in seinen Memoiren schreibt. Dagegen bin ich als Erwachsener nur in zwei Städten (Hamburg und Saarbrücken) fünfmal umgezogen – allerdings dafür derzeit in 4 Häusern im Saarland, Berlin, Niedersachsen und Mecklenburg parallel wohnhaft. Im Gegensatz zu Wolfgang, der wie er in seinen Memoiren „Reflexionen vor Reflexen“ schreibt in der Kindheit oft krank war, u.a. mehrfach an Nierenentzündungen und Knochenbrüchen litt, war ich stets gesund und hatte im Sportunterricht bis zum Abitur auch immer die Bestnote „sehr gut“.

  • CADE Conference Booklet
    25th International Conference on Automated Deduction Berlin, Germany | August 1-7, 2015 Conference Booklet Picture credits: Header image by Luis Henrique de Moraes Boucault (used with permission) Welcome to CADE-25 at Freie Universität Berlin It is my great pleasure to welcome you at the Freie Universität Berlin to celebrate the 25th edition of the Conference on Automated Deduction (CADE-25). The CADE conference started with the CADE-0 meeting in 1968 at INRIA Rocquencourt, France and the CADE-1 meeting in 1975 at Argonne National Laboratory, USA. CADE has since been held in various countries worldwide and it has become the major forum for the presentation of research in all aspects of automated deduction. To celebrate its 25th edition, this year’s CADE conference includes a special jubilee session on the Past, Present and Future of Automated Deduction, with invited speakers Ursula Martin (Oxford, UK), Frank Pfenning (Carnegie Mellon University, USA), David Plaisted (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA), and Andrei Voronkov (University of Manchester, UK). The invited speakers of the main conference are Ulrich Furbach (University of Koblenz, Germany) and Edward Zalta (Stanford University, USA). More- over, since CADE-25 is collocated with the 9th International Web Rule Symposium (RuleML), organised by Adrian Paschke, a further joint invited presentation is given by Michael Genesereth (Stanford Univer- sity, USA). Reception and dinner speeches are contributed by Jörg Siekmann (Saarland University) and Wolfgang Bibel (TU Darmstadt), and a short welcoming address is given by Ute Finckh-Krämer (Berlin, member of German parliament). I want to thank all the contributors, speakers and participants of the main conference, respectively the eight satellite workshops, seven tutorials, and three competitions of CADE-25.
