Summary on Grant Application Form
The aim of this project is to undertake a study of proof planning within a logic independent context. It will involve linking the higher order proof planner Lambda-Clam with the generic theorem prover Isavelle. The study will proceed by developing suitable syntactic translations between the two logic independent fashion. Both Lambada-Clam and Isabelle will be extended: new generic tactics will be written for Isabelle that correspond to lowest level methods in the proof planner while mechanisms will be investigated to produce new, logic-independent methods in Lambda-Clam. The combination of systems will be used to test whether proof planning can be generalised by considering non-trivial examples form at least two, but preferably more, logics. The research will be performed by the principal investigator together with a requested Phd Student.
