Abstract
GLUE is a system to combine heterogeneous and distributed sources of information with a deductive kernel. For this purpose access methods for external sources of information, like databases, can be specified. Pieces of a program are generated from such a specification which can be used also in other programs. This technique has been developed with an application to theorem provers in mind. We will show how GLUE can be used either stand-alone or together with a theorem prover like PROTEIN to solve real world problems. Some examples of problems utilizing such a combination are presented.
This work has been funded within the project “Deduktive Techniken für Informations-Management-Systeme” by the Ministry for Economy, Traffic, Agriculture, and Vinoculture of the state Rhineland-Palatinate of the Federal Republic of Germany.
