SPASS

Keyword: First-order logic

Scientific Description: The classic SPASS is an automated theorem prover based on superposition that handles first-order logic with equality and several extensions for particular classes of theories. With version SPASS 3.9 we have stopped the development of the classic prover and have started the bottom-up development of SPASS 4.0 that will actually be a workbench of automated reasoning tools. Furthermore, we use SPASS 3.9 as a test bed for the development of new calculi.

SPASS 3.9 has been used as the basis for SPASS-AR, a new approximation refinement theorem proving approach.

Functional Description: SPASS is an automated theorem prover based on superposition that handles first-order logic with equality and several extensions for particular classes of theories.
