Uniform Derivation of Decision Procedures by Superposition
We show how a well-known superposition-based inference system for first-order equational logic can be used almost directly as a decision procedure for various theories including l...

New Directions in Instantiation-Based Theorem Proving
We consider instantiation-based theorem proving whereby instances of clauses are generated by certain inferences, and where inconsistency is detected by propositional tests. We gi...

Evaluating QBFs via Symbolic Skolemization
Abstract. We describe a novel decision procedure for Quantified Boolean Formulas (QBFs) which aims to unleash the hidden potential of quantified reasoning in applications. The Sk...

Combining Decision Procedures for Sorted Theories
The Nelson-Oppen combination method combines decision procedures for theories satisfying certain conditions into a decision procedure for their union. While the method is known to ...

A Decidable Fragment of Separation Logic
We present a fragment of separation logic oriented to linked lists, and study decision procedures for validity of entailments. The restrictions in the fragment are motivated by the...

Combining Intruder Theories
Abstract. Most of the decision procedures for symbolic analysis of protocols are limited to a fixed set of algebraic operators associated with a fixed intruder theory. Examples o...

Fuzzy Description Logic Reasoning Using a Fixpoint Algorithm
We present FixIt(ALC), a novel procedure for deciding knowledge base (KB) satisfiability in the Fuzzy Description Logic (FDL) ALC. FixIt(ALC) does not search for tree-structured m...
