Abstract
Real-world applications of theorem proving require open and modern software environments that enable modularization, distribution, inter-operability, networking, and coordination. This system description presents the MathWeb1 approach for distributed automated theorem proving that connects a wide-range of mathematical services by a common, mathematical software bus. The MathWeb system provides the functionality to turn existing theorem proving systems and tools into mathematical services that are homogeneously integrated into a networked proof development environment. The environment thus gains the services from these particular modules, but each module in turn gains from using the features of other, plugged-in components.
