Abstract:We investigate analogy-driven proof plan construction as a control strategy in proof planning. The decisions taken in planning a source theorem are replayed for planning a similar target theorem. Our analogy procedure, ABALONE implemented on top of the proof planner CLAM, is capable of a controlled replay of the source planning process. In addition to the pure replay of source planning decisions, ABALONE can provide control, e.g. by overriding the default control and suggesting both induction schemes and lemnas needed in the planning process.
