This page represents the current state of an ongoing effort to collect information about existing automated reasoning systems. One objective is to provide concise useful information for people who have need for such a system and don't want to `roll their own'. Another objective is to provide a single place where information about existing systems can be accessed, thus providing an overview of the state of the art.
This is a home page for logical frameworks providing pointers to further material, including a bibliography, implementations, some researchers in the area, and recent announcements and papers. logical framework is a formal meta-language for deductive systems. The primary tasks supported in logical frameworks to varying degrees are * specification of deductive systems, * search for derivations within deductive systems, * meta-programming of algorithms pertaining to deductive systems, * proving meta-theorems about deductive systems. I include here systems that in other places have been called meta-logics and meta-logical frameworks; for me the choice of terminology merely indicates the relative emphasis placed on these tasks. Logical frameworks have been applied to many examples from logic and the theory of programming languages.
