Tóm tắt

This article is the seventh of a series of articles discussing various open research problems in automated reasoning. Here we focus on self-analysis and the set of support strategy. The problem proposed for research asks for one to find a means for an automated reasoning program to self-analytically determine which clauses to be in the set of support 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.
