Application for a Dagstuhl Seminar Deduction and Arithmetic

This application proposes a seminar bringing together researchers working in deduction and fields related to arithmetic constraint solving. Current research in deduction can be categorized in three main strands: SMT solvers, automated firstorder provers, and interactive provers. Although dealing with arithmetic is currently in focus of all three for some years, they are still in need of much better support of arithmetic. It can be safely assumed that arithmetic will be a major focus in all three main approaches to automated deduction during the coming 5-10 years. In this situation it is extremely important that the various sub-communities communicate with each other to avoid duplicate effort and to exploit synergies.
