Interactive theorem provers can model complex systems, but require much effort to prove theorems. Resolution theorem provers are automatic and powerful, but they are designed to be used for very different applications. This paper reports a series of experiments designed to determine whether resolution can support interactive proof as it is currently done. In particular, we present a sound and p...

Interactive theorem provers require too much effort from their users. We have been developing a system in which Isabelle users obtain automatic support from automatic theorem provers (ATPs) such as Vampire and SPASS. An ATP is invoked at suitable points in the interactive session, and any proof found is given to the user in a window displaying an Isar proof script. There are numerous difference...

To face the urgent need to train strategic and operational managers in dealing with complex crises, we are researching and developing an innovative decision support system to be used for crisis management and interactive crisis training. This paper provides an overview of current decision-support systems, simulation software and other technologies specifically designed to serve crisis managers....

We describe a system that allows non-programmers to specify the grammar for a novel graphic score notation of their own design, defining performance notations suitable for drawing in live situations on a surface such as a whiteboard. The score can be interpreted via the camera of a smartphone, interactively scanned over the whiteboard to control the parameters of synthesisers implemented in Ove...

We describe the Geometer’s Workbench, a graphical front end for Mathematica running on the Interactive Mural, a large high resolution display. Our system bridges the gap between casual whiteboard interaction and the more formal use of a tool like Mathematica. We anticipate that the experience gained from designing and testing such a tool can be generalized to a large class of technical and scie...

Using two weeks of daily whiteboard snapshots and interviews, we describe patterns of whiteboard use in individual offices. First, we profile four study participants highlighting the different tasks carried out on whiteboards, how physical placement and social factors bias whiteboard use and some of the features people want in next-generation whiteboards. Following these profiles, we detail our...
