Automated Reasoning, 2012 6th International Joint Conference, IJCAR 2012, Manchester, UK, June 26-29, 2012, Proceedings Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence Series

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th International Joint Conference on Automated Reasoning, IJCAR 2012, held in Manchester, UK, in June 2012. IJCAR 2012 is a merger of leading events in automated reasoning, namely CADE (International Conference on Automated Deduction), FroCoS (International Symposium on Frontiers of Combining Systems), FTP (International Workshop on First-Order Theorem Proving), and TABLEAUX (International Conference on Automated Reasoning with Analytic Tableaux and Related Methods). The 32 revised full research papers and 9 system descriptions presented together with 3 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 116 submissions. The papers address all aspects of automated reasoning, including foundations, implementations, and applications.
