Abella

Participants : Andrew Gacek, Dale Miller.

The earliest versions of the Abella theorem prover was written while Gacek was a PhD student at the University of Minnesota. Two years ago, Gacek was a post doc in the Parsifal team and more features were added to this prover. During 2011, Chaudhuri and three interns (Andrew Cave from McGill and Salil Joshi and Chris Martens from CMU) developed some news designs and new prototypes of needed features for Abella. These features will provide this prover with better ways to manipulate specification-logic contexts in the reasoning-logic and a means for outputting proper proof object (different from the scripts that are used to find a proof).
