Tableaux Modulo Theories Using Superdeduction
We propose a method that allows us to develop tableaux modulo theories using
the principles of superdeduction, among which the theory is used to enrich the
deduction system with new deduction rules. This method is presented in the
framework of the Zenon automated theorem prover, and is applied to the set
theory of the B method. This allows us to provide another prover to Atelier B,
which can be used to verify B proof rules in particular. We also propose some
benchmarks, in which this prover is able to automatically verify a part of the
rules coming from the database maintained by Siemens IC-MOL. Finally, we
describe another extension of Zenon with superdeduction, which is able to deal
with any first order theory, and provide a benchmark coming from the TPTP
library, which contains a large set of first order problems.Comment: arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1501.0117
12th International Workshop on Termination (WST 2012) : WST 2012, February 19–23, 2012, Obergurgl, Austria / ed. by Georg Moser
This volume contains the proceedings of the 12th International Workshop on Termination (WST 2012), to be held February 19–23, 2012 in Obergurgl, Austria. The goal of the Workshop on Termination is to be a venue for presentation and discussion of all topics in and around termination. In this way, the workshop tries to bridge the gaps between different communities interested and active in research in and around termination. The 12th International Workshop on Termination in Obergurgl continues the successful workshops held in St. Andrews (1993), La Bresse (1995), Ede (1997), Dagstuhl (1999), Utrecht (2001), Valencia (2003), Aachen (2004), Seattle (2006), Paris (2007), Leipzig (2009), and Edinburgh (2010). The 12th International Workshop on Termination did welcome contributions on all aspects of termination and complexity analysis. Contributions from the imperative, constraint, functional, and logic programming communities, and papers investigating applications of complexity or termination (for example in program transformation or theorem proving) were particularly welcome. We did receive 18 submissions which all were accepted. Each paper was assigned two reviewers. In addition to these 18 contributed talks, WST 2012, hosts three invited talks by Alexander Krauss, Martin Hofmann, and Fausto Spoto
GO faster ChEBI with Reasonable Biochemistry
Chemical Entities of Biological Interest (ChEBI) is a database and ontology that represents biochemical knowledge about small molecules. Recent changes to the ontology have created new opportunities for automated reasoning with description logic, that have not previously been fully exploited in Chemistry. These changes open up the possibility of building an improved chemical semantic web, by making more use of necessary and sufficient conditions, allowing reasoning about chemical structure, highlighting ambiguous inconsistencies and improving alignment with the Gene Ontology (GO). This paper briefly discusses some of the problems with reasoning over the current version of ChEBI, to tackle these issues, and their potential solutions
Learning-Assisted Automated Reasoning with Flyspeck
The considerable mathematical knowledge encoded by the Flyspeck project is
combined with external automated theorem provers (ATPs) and machine-learning
premise selection methods trained on the proofs, producing an AI system capable
of answering a wide range of mathematical queries automatically. The
performance of this architecture is evaluated in a bootstrapping scenario
emulating the development of Flyspeck from axioms to the last theorem, each
time using only the previous theorems and proofs. It is shown that 39% of the
14185 theorems could be proved in a push-button mode (without any high-level
advice and user interaction) in 30 seconds of real time on a fourteen-CPU
workstation. The necessary work involves: (i) an implementation of sound
translations of the HOL Light logic to ATP formalisms: untyped first-order,
polymorphic typed first-order, and typed higher-order, (ii) export of the
dependency information from HOL Light and ATP proofs for the machine learners,
and (iii) choice of suitable representations and methods for learning from
previous proofs, and their integration as advisors with HOL Light. This work is
described and discussed here, and an initial analysis of the body of proofs
that were found fully automatically is provided

Survey On Ensuring Distributed Accountability for Data Sharing in the Cloud
Cloud computing is the use of computing of sources that are delivered as a service over a network for example on internet. It enables highly scalable services to be easily utilized over the Internet on an as needed basis. Important characteristic of the cloud services is that users’ data are usually processed remotely in unknown machines that users do not operate. It can become a substantial barrier to the wide taking on cloud services. To address this problem highly decentralized responsibility framework to keep track of the actual usage of the user’s data in the cloud. In this work has automated logging and distributed auditing mechanism. The Cloud Information Accountability framework proposed in this work conducts distributed auditing of relevant access performed by any entity, carried out at any point of time at any cloud service provider. It conations two major elements: logger and log harmonizer. This methodology will also take concern of the JAR file by converting the JAR into obfuscated code which will adds an additional layer of security to the infrastructure. Rather than this here in this work, increase the security of user’s data by provable data control for integrity verificatio
Proof-Pattern Recognition and Lemma Discovery in ACL2
We present a novel technique for combining statistical machine learning for
proof-pattern recognition with symbolic methods for lemma discovery. The
resulting tool, ACL2(ml), gathers proof statistics and uses statistical
pattern-recognition to pre-processes data from libraries, and then suggests
auxiliary lemmas in new proofs by analogy with already seen examples. This
paper presents the implementation of ACL2(ml) alongside theoretical
descriptions of the proof-pattern recognition and lemma discovery methods
involved in it
