Artificial Intelligence, Automated Reasoning, and Symbolic Computation Joint International Conferences, AISC 2002 and Calculemus 2002 Marseille, France, July 1-5, 2002 Proceedings

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the joint International Conferences on Artificial Intelligence and Symbolic Computation, AISC 2002, and Calculemus 2002 held in Marseille, France, in July 2002.The 24 revised full papers presented together with 2 system descriptions were carefully reviewed and selected from 52 submissions. Among the topics covered are automated theorem proving, logical reasoning, mathematical modeling, algebraic computations, computational mathematics, and applications in engineering and industrial practice.
