@TECHREPORT{AICPub725:1978, AUTHOR={Manna, Zohar and Waldinger, Richard}, TITLE={A Deductive Approach To Program Synthesis}, ADDRESS={333 Ravenswood Ave., Menlo Park, CA 94025}, INSTITUTION={AI Center, SRI International}, MONTH={Dec}, NUMBER={177}, YEAR={1978}, KEYWORDS={Program Synthesis, Deduction!Program synthesis}, ABSTRACT={Program synthesis is the systematic derivation of a program from a given specification. A deductive approach to program synthesis is presented for the construction of recursive programs. This approach regards program synthesis as a theorem-proving task and relies on a theorem-proving method that combines the features of transformation rules, unification, and mathematical induction within a single framework.} }
