Abstract

We connect the algebraic specification language CASL with a variety of automated first-order provers. The heart of this connection is an institution comorphism from CASL to SoftFOL (softly typed first-order logic); the latter is then translated to the provers' input syntaxes. We also describe a GUI integrating the translations and the provers into the Heterogeneous Tool Set. We report on experiences with provers, which led to fine-tuning of the translations. This framework can also be used for checking consistency of specifications.
