This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 15th International Conference on Automated Deduction, CADE-15, held in Lindau, Germany, in July 1998.
The volume presents three invited contributions together with 25 revised full papers and 10 revised system descriptions; these were selected from a total of 120 submissions. The papers address all current issues in automated deduction and theorem proving based on resolution, superposition, model generation and elimination, or connection tableau calculus, in first-order, higher-order, intuitionistic, or modal logics, and describe applications to geometry, computer algebra, or reactive systems.
