The SIXTH CONFERENCE ON AUTOMATED DEDUCTION, held on June 7-9,
1982, at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, New York
University, included the presentation of 23 papers selected by the
program committee, a keynote address by Lawrence Wos, and an invited
talk by John McCarthy (the latter not included in this volume). The
conference is the primary international forum for reporting research in
all aspects of automated deduction. As such the conference addresses
such issues as the design and implementation of (semi) automated
theorem proving systems, experimentation with theorem provers, the
capability and efficiency of various representations and control
structures for automated deduction, and domains of application for
automated deduction. Authors presenting papers at this conference come
from Canada, France, Israel, Poland, the United Kingdom, the United
States and West Germany.
