Abstract

The talk will present a survey of higher order unification, covering an outline of its historical development, a summary of its applications to three fields: automated theorem proving, and more generally engineering of proof assistants, programming environments and software engineering, and finally computational linguistics. It concludes by a presentation of open problems, and a few prospective remarks on promising future directions. This presentation assumes as background the survey by Gilles Dowek in the Handbook of automated theorem proving [28].
