Abstract.
The key to a successful proof often lies within the analysis of failed proof attempts. Motivated by this observation we have developed and evaluated an interface to an inductive theorem prover which supports a collaborative style of failure analysis. Our work builds upon an automatic proof patching mechanism and extends the capabilities of an existing theorem proving interface. Our approach is multi-disciplinary, we draw upon work from both the automated theorem proving and human computer interaction communities.
