Abstract

This article is the eighth of a series of articles discussing various open research problems in automated reasoning. Here we focus on self-analysis and the weighting strategy. The problem proposed for research asks one to find a means for an automated reasoning program to self-analytically determine which weights or priorities to give to clauses at various points during the program's attempt to complete a given assignment. For evaluating a proposed solution to this research problem, we include suggestions concerning possible test problems.
