Reasoning with incomplete information constitutes a major challenge for any intelligent system. In fact, we expect such systems not to become paralyzed by missing information but rather to arrive at plausible results by bridging the gaps in the information available. A versatile way of reasoning in the absence of information is to reason by default. This book aims at providing formal and practical means for automating reasoning with incomplete information by starting from the approach taken by the framework of default logic. For this endeavor, a bridge is spanned between formal semantics, over systems for default reasoning, to efficient implementation.

The contributors are among the world's leading researchers inautomated reasoning. Their essays cover the theory, software system design, and use of these systems to solve real problems. The primary objective of automated reasoning (which includes automated deduction and automated theorem proving) is to develop computer programs that use logical reasoning for the solution of a wide variety of problems, including open questions. The essays in Automated Reasoning and Its Applications were written in honor of Larry Wos, one of the founders of the field. Wos played a central role in forming the culture of automated reasoning at Argonne National Laboratory. He and his colleagues consistently seek to build systems that search huge spaces for solutions to difficult problems and proofs of significant theorems. They have had numerous notable successes. The contributors are among the world's leading researchers in automated reasoning. Their essays cover the theory, software system design, and use of these systems to solve real problems.

This book presents outstanding contributions in an exciting, new and multidisciplinary research area: the application of formal, automated reasoning techniques to analyse complex models in systems biology and systems medicine. Automated reasoning is a field of computer science devoted to the development of algorithms that yield trustworthy answers, providing a basis of sound logical reasoning. For example, in the semiconductor industry formal verification is instrumental to ensuring that chip designs are free of defects (or “bugs”). Over the past 15 years, systems biology and systems medicine have been introduced in an attempt to understand the enormous complexity of life from a computational point of view. This has generated a wealth of new knowledge in the form of computational models, whose staggering complexity makes manual analysis methods infeasible. Sound, trusted, and automated means of analysing the models are thus required in order to be able to trust their conclusions. Above all, this is crucial to engineering safe biomedical devices and to reducing our reliance on wet-lab experiments and clinical trials, which will in turn produce lower economic and societal costs. Some examples of the questions addressed here include: Can we automatically adjust medications for patients with multiple chronic conditions? Can we verify that an artificial pancreas system delivers insulin in a way that ensures Type 1 diabetic patients never suffer from hyperglycaemia or hypoglycaemia? And lastly, can we predict what kind of mutations a cancer cell is likely to undergo? This book brings together leading researchers from a number of highly interdisciplinary areas, including: · Parameter inference from time series · Model selection · Network structure identification · Machine learning · Systems medicine · Hypothesis generation from experimental data · Systems biology, systems medicine, and digital pathology · Verification of biomedical devices “This book presents a comprehensive spectrum of model-focused analysis techniques for biological systems ...an essential resource for tracking the developments of a fast moving field that promises to revolutionize biology and medicine by the automated analysis of models and data.”Prof Luca Cardelli FRS, University of Oxford

These essays have been written to honor W. W. Bledsoe, a scientist who has contributed to such diverse fields as mathematics, systems analysis, pattern recognition, biology, artificial intelligence, and automated reasoning. The first essay provides a sketch of his life, emphasizing his scientific contributions. The diversity of the fields to which Bledsoe has contributed is reflected in the range of the other essays, which are original scientific contributions by some of his many friends and colleagues. Bledsoe is a founding father of the field of automated reasoning, and a majority of the essays are on that topic. These essays are collected together here not only to acknowledge Bledsoe's manifold and substantial scientific contributions but also to express our appreciation for the great care and energy that he has devoted to nurturing many of the scientists working in those scientific fields he has helped found. Robert S. Boyer Austin February, 1991 ix Acknow ledgements Thanks to Larry Wos, editor of the Journal of Automated Reasoning, and Derek Middleton and Martin Scrivener, Kluwer Academic editors, for sup porting the idea of initiating this collection of essays. Thanks to A. Michael Ballantyne and Michael Spivak, for help with lffi.TWC, especially in identifying many formatting problems and providing fixes.

Most appealing - and sometimes even stirring - is a well-constructed case showing that, without doubt, some given assertion holds. Typically, such a case is based on logical and flawless reasoning, on a sequence of steps that follow inevitably from the hypotheses used to deduce each. In other words, a proof is given establishing that the assertion under consideration indeed holds. Such proofs are clearly crucial to logic and to mathematics. Not so obvious, but true, proofs are crucial to circuit design, program writing, and, more generally, to various activities in which reasoning plays a vital role. Indeed, most desirable is the case in which no doubt exists regarding the absence of flaws in the design of a chip, in the structure of a computer program, in the argument on which an important decision is based. Such careful reasoning is even the key factor in games that include chess and poker. This book features one example after another of flawless logical reasoning the context is that of finding proofs absent from the literature. The means for finding the missing proofs is reliance on a single computer program, William McCune's automated reasoning program OTTER. One motivating force for writing this book is to interest others in automated reasoning, logic and mathematics. As the text strongly indicates, we delight in using OTTER equally in two quite distinct activities: finding a proof where none is offered by the literature, and finding a proof far more appealing than any the literature provides. We believe that the challenge offered by the type of problem featured in this book can be as engrossing as solving puzzles and playing various games that appeal to the mind. Indeed,sometimes, inexpressible is the excitement engendered when seeking a proof with fewer steps than was found by one of the great minds of the twentieth century. A second motivating force resets with our obvious enjoyment of the type of research featured in this book. Like the fancier of fine wines, we continually seek new open questions to attack, whether (at one end of the spectrum) they concern the settling of a conjecture or (at the other end) the focus is on proof betterment. We encourage readers to send us additional open questions and challenging problems. Another factor that motivated us was our wish to collect in a single volume a surprisingly large number of proofs, most of which were previously absent from the literature. In some cases, no proof was offered of any type; in some cases, the proof that was offered was far from axiomatic. None of the proofs rely on induction, or on metal argument, or on higher-order logic. In one sense, the book can serve as an encyclopedia of proofs -- many new and many improved - a work that sometimes extends, sometimes replaces, and sometimes supplements the research of more than a century. These proofs offer the implicit challenge of finding others that are further improvements. In a rather different sense, the book may serve as the key to eventually answering one open question after another, whether the context is logic, mathematics, design, synthesis, or some other area relying on sound reasoning. In that regards, we include in details numerous diverse methodologies are themselves intriguing. For an example, one methodology asks for two independent paths that lead to success and, rather than emphasizing what is common to both (theirintersection), instead heavily focuses on what is not shared (their symmetric difference). Although the emphasis here is on their use in the context of logic and mathematics, we conjecture that the methodologies we offer will prove most useful in a far wider context. We also suspect that, especially for those who enjoy solving puzzles and unraveling the mysteries of sciences, the nature of the methodologies will provide substantial stimulation. This volume introduce some readers to the excitement of discovering new results, increase the intrigue of those already familiar with such excitement, and (for the expert) add to the arsenal of weapons for attacking deep questions and hard problems.

"Kind of Cl'Ude ~ but it UJorks~ boy~ it UJOrksl" Alan Ner. ueH to Herb Simon~ C1rl'istmas 1955 In 1954 a computer program produced what appears to be the first computer generated mathematical proof: Written by M. Davis at the Institute of Advanced Studies, USA, it proved a number theoretic theorem in Presburger Arithmetic. Christmas 1955 heralded a computer program which generated the first proofs of some propositions of Principia Mathematica, developed by A. Newell, J. Shaw, and H. Simon at RAND Corporation, USA. In Sweden, H. Prawitz, D. Prawitz, and N. Voghera produced the first general program for the full first order predicate calculus to prove mathematical theorems; their computer proofs were obtained around 1957 and 1958, about the same time that H. Gelernter finished a computer program to prove simple high school geometry theorems. Since the field of computational logic (or automated theorem proving) is emerging from the ivory tower of academic research into real world applications, asserting also a definite place in many university curricula, we feel the time has come to examine and evaluate its history. The article by Martin Davis in the first of this series of volumes traces the most influential ideas back to the 'prehistory' of early logical thought showing how these ideas influenced the underlying concepts of most early automatic theorem proving programs.
