Abstract
The CADE ATP System Competition (CASC) is an annual evaluation of fully automatic, first-order Automated Theorem Proving (ATP) systems. In addition to the primary aim of evaluating the relative capabilities of ATP systems, CASC aims to stimulate ATP research in general, to stimulate ATP research towards autonomous systems, to motivate implementation and fixing of systems, to provide an inspiring environment for personal interaction between ATP researchers, and to expose ATP systems both within and outside the ATP community. Fulfillment of these objectives provides stimulus and insight for the development of more powerful ATP systems, leading to increased and more effective usage.
