Logic for Programming and Automated Reasoning

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Logic for Programming and Automated Reasoning, LPAR 2000, held in Reunion Island, France in November 2000.The 26 revised full papers presented together with four invited contributions were carefully reviewed and selected from 65 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on nonmonotonic reasoning, descriptive complexity, specification and automatic proof-assistants, theorem proving, verification, logic programming and constraint logic programming, nonclassical logics and the lambda calculus, logic and databases, program analysis, mu-calculus, planning and reasoning about actions.
