Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 1249))

Abstract

XBarnacle provides:

  1. 1.

    An extension to the capabilities of CLAM, as not all theorems may be proved automatically, even with the provision of lemmas.

  2. 2.

    A more useable version of CLAM, with potential to extend its user base.

  3. 3.

    A tool for experimenting with different methods and heuristics.
