BIB-VERSION:: CS-TR-v2.0 ID:: STAN//CS-TR-86-1106 ENTRY:: May 01, 1995 ORGANIZATION:: Stanford University, Department of Computer Science TITLE:: A timely resolution TYPE:: Technical Report AUTHOR:: Abadi, Martin AUTHOR:: Manna, Zohar DATE:: April 1986 PAGES:: 24 ABSTRACT:: We present a novel proof system R for First-order (Linear) Temporal Logic. This system extends our Propositional Temporal Logic proof system ([AM]). The system R is based on nonclausal resolution; proofs are natural and generally short. Special quantifier rules, unification techniques, and a resolution rule are introduced. We relate R to other proof systems for First-order Temporal Logic and discuss completeness issues. The system R should be useful as a tool for such tasks as verification of concurrent programs and reasoning about hardware devices. NOTES:: [Adminitrivia V1/Prg/19950501] END:: STAN//CS-TR-86-1106
