Zusammenfassung:Automated theorem proving lies at the heart of all tools for formal analysis of software and system descriptions. In formal verification systems such as PVS [10], the deductive capability is explicit and visible to the user, whereas in tools such as test case generators it is hidden and often ad-hoc. Many tools for formal analysis would benefit—both in performance and ease of construction—if they could draw on a powerful embedded service to perform common deductive tasks.
