Overview
The rule-based prover plug-in offers a uniform mechanism to define and validate proof rules which can then be used in proofs.
The rule-based prover plug-in has two important components:
- The Theory construct: where rules are defined and validated by means of proof obligations. Defining a rule includes stating whether it should be applied automatically, interactively or both.
- Prover Extension: which is responsible for checking what rules are applicable and applying them.
The plug-in supports the definition and validation of rewrite rules. It is expected that the plug-in will also support defining inference rules.
The University of Southampton was responsible for the development of the rule-based prover.
