Reseña del editor

This book is a collection of selected papers written by researchers qf our "RISC" institute (Research Institute for Symbolic Computation) along with the ESPRIT MEDLAR Project (Mechanizing Deduction in the Logics of Practical Reason­ ing). Naturally, the MEDLAR Project was and is the focal point for our institute whose main objective is the combination of foundational research in the area of symbolic computation and possible applications thereof for high-tech industrial projects. I am grateful to the director of the MEDLAR project, Jim Cunningham, for his enthusiasm, profound expertise, and continuous effort to manage a fruitful cooperation between various European working groups in the area of the project and for giving us the opportunity to be part of this challenging endeavor. I also acknowledge and feel indebted to Jochen Pfalzgraf for managing the RISC part of the MEDLAR project and to both him and Dongming Wang for editing this volume and organizing the refereeing process.

Reseña del editor

This book presents a collection of articles on the general framework of mechanizing deduction in the logics of practical reasoning. Topics treated are novel approaches in the field of constructive algebraic methods (theory and algorithms) to handle geometric reasoning problems, especially in robotics and automated geometry theorem proving; constructive algebraic geometry of curves and surfaces showing some new interesting aspects; implementational issues concerning the use of computer algebra systems to deal with such algebraic methods. Besides work on nonmonotonic logic and a proposed approach for a unified treatment of critical pair completion procedures, a new semantical modeling approach based on the concept of fibered structures is discussed; an application to cooperating robots is demonstrated.
