This book is a translation of Professor Wu’s seminal Chinese book of 1984 on Automated Geometric Theorem Proving. The translation was done by his former student Dongming Wang jointly with Xiaofan Jin so that authenticity is guaranteed. Meanwhile, automated geometric theorem proving based on Wu’s method of characteristic sets has become one of the fundamental, practically successful, methods in this area that has drastically enhanced the scope of what is computationally tractable in automated theorem proving. This book is a source book for students and researchers who want to study both the intuitive first ideas behind the method and the formal details together with many examples.

This volume constitutes the proceedings of the 11th annual Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science (STACS '94), held in Caen, France, February 24-26, 1994. Besides three prominent invited papers, the proceedings contains 60 accepted contributions chosen by the international program committee during a highly competitive reviewing process from a total of 234 submissions for 38 countries. The volume competently represents most areas of theoretical computer science with a certain emphasis on (parallel) algorithms and complexity.

This advanced text for undergraduate and graduate students introduces mathematical logic with an emphasis on proof theory and procedures for algorithmic construction of formal proofs. The self-contained treatment is also useful for computer scientists and mathematically inclined readers interested in the formalization of proofs and basics of automatic theorem proving. Topics include propositional logic and its resolution, first-order logic, Gentzen's cut elimination theorem and applications, and Gentzen's sharpened Hauptsatz and Herbrand's theorem. Additional subjects include resolution in first-order logic; SLD-resolution, logic programming, and the foundations of PROLOG; and many-sorted first-order logic. Numerous problems appear throughout the book, and two Appendixes provide practical background information.

This books presents the refereed proceedings of the Fifth International Workshop on Analytic Tableaux and Related Methods, TABLEAUX '96, held in Terrasini near Palermo, Italy, in May 1996. The 18 full revised papers included together with two invited papers present state-of-the-art results in this dynamic area of research. Besides more traditional aspects of tableaux reasoning, the collection also contains several papers dealing with other approaches to automated reasoning. The spectrum of logics dealt with covers several nonclassical logics, including modal, intuitionistic, many-valued, temporal and linear logic.

Logic (both Classical and Non-Classical) is being increasingly related with other fields in almost every scientific discipline and human activity. In this volume we have emphasized its role in the following fields of science: Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, Informatics in general, Technology, and correlated themes. The papers are written by some of the most prominent scientists of today.
