LeoPARD - A Generic Platform for the Implementation of Higher-Order Reasoners

摘要

LeoPARD supports the implementation of knowledge representation and reasoning tools for higher-order logic (s). It combines a sophisticated data structure layer (polymorphically typed λ-calculus with nameless spine notation, explicit substitutions, and perfect term sharing) with an ambitious multi-agent blackboard architecture (supporting prover parallelism at the term, clause, and search level). Further features of LeoPARD include a parser for all TPTP dialects, a command line interpreter, and generic means for the integration of external reasoners.
