Reseña del editor

This volume constitutes the proceedings of the 2nd International Joint C- ference on Automated Reasoning (IJCAR 2004) held July 4–8, 2004 in Cork, Ireland. IJCAR 2004 continued the tradition established at the ?rst IJCAR in Siena,Italyin2001,whichbroughttogetherdi?erentresearchcommunitieswo- ing in automated reasoning. The current IJCAR is the fusion of the following conferences: CADE: The International Conference on Automated Deduction, CALCULEMUS: Symposium on the Integration of Symbolic Computation and Mechanized Reasoning, FroCoS: Workshop on Frontiers of Combining Systems, FTP: The International Workshop on First-Order Theorem Proving, and TABLEAUX: The International Conference on Automated Reasoning with Analytic Tableaux and Related Methods. There were 74 research papers submitted to IJCAR as well as 12 system descriptions. After extensive reviewing, 26 research papers and 6 system - scriptions were accepted for presentation at the conference and publication in this volume. In addition, this volume also contains papers from the three invited speakers and a description of the CADE ATP system competition. We would like to acknowledge the enormous amount of work put in by the members of the program committee, the various organizing and steering c- mittees, the IJCAR o?cials, the invited speakers, and the additional referees named on the following pages. We would also like to thank Achim Brucker and Barbara Geiser for their help in producing this volume.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Second International Joint Conference on Automated Reasoning, IJCAR 2004, held in Cork, Ireland, in July 2004. IJCAR 2004 comprises CADE, CALCULEMUS, FroCoS, FTP, and TABLEAUX.

The 26 revised full research papers and 6 revised system demonstrations presented together with 3 invited papers and a summary of a systems competition were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 86 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on rewriting, saturation-based theorem proving, combination techniques, verification and systems, reasoning with finite structure, tableaux and non-classical logics, applications and systems, computer mathematics, interactive theorem proving, combinatorial reasoning, and higher-order reasoning.
