Automated Reasoning Systems (290 words) |
 | Automated reasoning is still in its infancy, but offers tremendous promise for problem solving. |
 | Automated reasoning assists with the deductive aspects of scientific problem solving. |
 | Our goal in automated reasoning is to develop techniques and to build practical programs to help mathematicians, logicians, scientists, engineers, and others with some of the deductive aspects of their work. |
| Automated reasoning - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (217 words) |
 | Automated reasoning is an area of computer science dedicated to understanding different aspects of reasoning in a way that allows the creation of software which allows computers to reason completely or nearly completely automatically. |
 | The most developed subarea of automated reasoning is probably automated theorem proving (viewed as guaranteed correct reasoning under fixed assumptions), but extensive work has also been done in reasoning by analogy, induction and abduction. |
 | Tools and techniques include the classical logics and calculi from automated theorem proving, but also fuzzy logic, Bayesian inference, reasoning with maximal entropy and a large number of less formal ad-hoc techniques. |
