Ebook: Towards Mechanized Mathematical Assistants: 14th Symposium, Calculemus 2007, 6th International Conference, MKM 2007, Hagenberg, Austria, June 27-30, 2007. Proceedings

This volume contains the collected contributions of two conferences, Calcu- mus2007andMKM2007.Calculemus2007wasthe14thinaseriesofconferences dedicated to the integration of computer algebra systems (CAS) and automated deduction systems (ADS). MKM 2007 was the sixth International Conference on Mathematical Knowledge Management, an emerging interdisciplinary ?eld of research in the intersection of mathematics, computer science, library s- ence, and scienti?c publishing. Both conferences aimed to provide mechanized mathematical assistants. Although the two conferences have separate communities and separate foci, there is a signi?cant overlap in the interests in building mechanized mathem- ical assistants. For this reason it was decided to collocate the two events in 2007 for the ?rst time, at RISC in Hagenberg, Austria. The number and quality of the submissions show that this was a good decision. While the proceedings are shared, the submission process was separate. The responsibility for acc- tance/rejection rests completely with the two separate Program Committees. By this collocation we made a contribution against the fragmentation of communities which work on di?erent aspects of di?erent independent branches, traditional branches (e.g., computer algebra and theorem proving), as well as newly emerging ones (on user interfaces, knowledge management, theory exp- ration, etc.). This will also facilitate the development of integrated mechanized mathematical assistants that will be routinely used by mathematicians, c- puter scientists, and engineers in their every-day business.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Mathematical Knowledge Management, MKM 2007, and the 14th Symposium on the Integration of Symbolic Computation and Mechanized Reasoning, Calculemus 2006, held in Hagenberg, Austria in June 2007 as events of the RISC Summer 2007, organized by the Research Institute for Symbolic Computation.

The 10 revised full papers from 23 submissions for Calculemus 2007 and 19 revised full papers, plus abstracts of 2 invited talks, selected from 52 submissions to MKM 2007 were carefully reviewed and selected for a joint presentation in the book. The papers cover different aspects of traditional branches in CS such as computer algebra and theorem proving, as well as newly emerging ones such as user interfaces, knowledge management, and theory exploration. Thus facilitating the development of integrated mechanized mathematical assistants.
