- The title "Automated Reasoning" by Ewing, Overbeek, Lusk, Boyle (did I
- forget anyone?) just came out in an expanded second edition. It includes
- a diskette containing the Otter 2.2 theorem proving system. The text is
- something of a tutorial, but you can easily skip to the more "formal"
- chapters if you prefer. There is also a reference chapter on Otter and
- a chapter on Prolog as a theorem proving system.
- The disk contains source, documentation and executables for DOS. Other
- versions are available for Unix. I believe that the publisher is
- Prentice-Hall. All the authors are at Argonne National Labs here in the
- beautiful Chicago area. You can contact otter@mcs.anl.gov for further
- information on Otter. If you can't locate the book, get ahold of me and
- I'll provide a fuller citation. The tome's at home.
