@TECHREPORT{AICPub1468:1970, AUTHOR={Rulifson, Johns F.}, TITLE={Preliminary Specification of the QA4 Language}, ADDRESS={333 Ravenswood Ave, Menlo Park, CA 94025}, INSTITUTION={AI Center, SRI International}, MONTH={Apr}, NUMBER={50}, YEAR={1970}, KEYWORDS={QA4, Artificial Intelligence, Problem Solving, Theorem Proving, Robot Planning}, ABSTRACT={The long-term problem-solving effort of the Stanford Research Institute Artificial Intelligence project has been involved with the design and implementation of a general-purpose, formal problem-solving system. The current system, termed QA4, is based upon mechanized theorem proving in higher-order logic and emphasizes the role of semantic information and flexible control strategies. Two major applications of such a system are in the field of automatic program writing and in robot planning and problem solving. }, NOTE={SRI Project 8259.
