Computer Science Logic

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 13th International Workshop on Computer Science Logic, CSL 2000, held in Fischbachau, Germany as the 8th Annual Conference of the EACSL in August 2000. The 28 revised full papers presented together with eight invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected by the program committee. Among the topics covered are automated deduction, theorem proving, categorical logic, term rewriting, finite model theory, higher order logic, lambda and combinatory calculi, computational complexity, logic programing, constraints, linear logic, modal logic, temporal logic, model checking, formal specification, formal verification, program transformation, etc.
