@INPROCEEDINGS{Basin93d, AUTHOR = "David Basin", TITLE = "IsaWhelk: Whelk Interpreted in Isabelle", BOOKTITLE = "11th International Conference on Logic Programming (ICLP94)", YEAR = {1994}, NOTE = {Paper is full version of conference abstract}, ABSTRACT = { The Whelk logic has been proposed as a foundation for logic program synthesis. Here, I interpret the rules of Whelk as rules of first-order logic and derive them in Isabelle. Theoretically, this provides a means to understand the meta-theory behind Whelk, and its correctness. The interpretation suggests simplifications, corrections, and extensions. Practically, it provides a way to construct logic programs from proofs of their correctness by applying the formalized proof rules using higher-order resolution. }, }
