Abstract

This article is a tribute to the scientific legacy of automated reasoning pioneer and JAR founder Lawrence T. (Larry) Wos. Larry’s main technical contributions were the set-of-support strategy for resolution theorem proving, and the demodulation and paramodulation inference rules for building equality into resolution. Starting from the original definitions of these concepts in Larry’s papers, this survey traces their evolution, unearthing the often forgotten trails that connect Larry’s original definitions to those that became standard in the field.
