Abella

Participant : Andrew Gacek.

The earliest versions of the Abella theorem prover was written while Gacek was a PhD student at the University of Minnesota. Now that he is a post doc within Parsifal, he has continued to enhance that prover: in particular, he has added some additional static checking for theories (simple type checking), provided modularity for specifications and for theories, and has documented several more example theories. The system is available via the web and several people and groups are known to be using the prover on a regular basis.
