Assisting, Enhancing and Trainingthe Authoring of Documents with Formalized Structure and/or

Content

Information processing plays an increasingly important role in modern societies and alreadytouches the very basic organization of our daily life and our dependency on its correct opera-tion motivates the development of provably reliable software and hardware. This includes bothhuman comprehensible specification and the automatic or interactive verification.

Logical systems, originally developed to provide a foundation for mathematics, have beenused for the specification and verification of software and since the mid 1950s many systemshave been turned into formal software development methods. Since then, a myriad of formalismsand systems have been developed, both for mathematics and formal methods and even non-trivial mathematical problems can be proved by machines. Formal methods have been employedfor complex software and hardware development.

The potential of using logic based modeling and reasoning techniques to increase the relia-bility of software systems is clearly recognized in the academic research community. However,unlike computer-algebra systems which are routinely used by mathematicians and also physi-cists and engineers, these formal logic based techniques are not employed in standard industrialsoftware development. In my opinion there are two major reasons for this:• the high hurdle posed by the deep formal logical knowledge that is necessary to effectively

use these techniques and tools, and• that the formal techniques and tools are not integrated within standard software develop-

ment environments.Integrating formal modeling and reasoning tools with existing tools routinely employed in

specific software development processes is the key step in promoting the use of formal logicbased techniques. This forces the formal tools to accommodate the standard representationsand functionalities used in the software development processes and especially to provide theirresults in a form the software engineer is familiar with. This will pave the way for bringing thefunctionality only formal logic based systems can reliably provide into standard practice of therespective areas, such as, for instance, requirements specification, software specification, soft-ware documentations, as well as the maintenance of all documents and software artifacts pro-duced in software development processes. The type of documents that occur in a such a settingrange from documents which do not have a formalized content but have a formalized structure,such as requirements specifications or code documentations, to documents that have formalizedcontent, such as formal-logical specifications and proofs, ideally for instance in a mixture of con-trolled natural language, formulas and diagrams which is intuitive for humans and still entirelymachine-processable by symbolic reasoning systems.

The research questions I plan to investigate arise from the following prototypical scenario ofpreparing a mathematical document with formalized content in a textbook style and in profes-sional type-setting quality.

Mathematical Research Article Preparation Scenario: The author starts writinga new mathematical document in a format suitable for publication by using mathe-matical concepts from different mathematical domains. New mathematical conceptsor lemmas introduced in the paper in turn should result in corresponding new for-mal objects. Furthermore, when writing the document service tools can be used to

15

perform, for instance, intermediate computations in illustrating examples, queryingmathematical databases for mathematical publications introducing similar concepts,etc. Proofs of lemmas and theorems contained in the document should be amenableto formal proof checking techniques. Submission of such a document to some journalallows then for instance to check the proofs contained therein to some degree and along-term goal may be fully automated verification. Publication of such verified math-ematical documents then makes the paper and especially its formal contributionsaccessible to other authors.

The close relationship between the preparation of a mathematical article and the preparationof documents about software is illustrated by the following scenario which consists of the prepa-ration of protection profiles, which have a formalized structure but not necessarily a formalizedcontent. This scenario is required for example by the German Federal Agency for InformationTechnology Security (BSI).

Preparation of Protection Profiles: The vision underlying this scenario is to supportthe development cycle of protection profiles and security targets for formal softwaredevelopment as required by the Common Criteria [Common Criteria, 1999]. It startswith the preparation of a protection profile document in publishable format and thethree separated parts Threats, Objectives, and Requirements. The first part containsthe informal description of the security threats and relates to a formal specificationof the threats. The second part formulates the security objectives, which specifythe desired system behavior together with a correspondence demonstration that thisexcludes the behaviors leading to threatening situations as specified in the first part.Both the threats and the security objectives are related to formal specifications andthe correspondence section to a set of formal proofs. Finally, the security requirementspecification further refines the security objectives and also corresponds to a formalspecification and a proof that the security requirements indeed refine the securityobjectives.

The resulting final protection profile is a formal document which can be independentlychecked by certification authorities in order to obtain a formally certified protectionprofile. A developer of a specific piece of software (and hardware) can query for ex-isting (certified) protection profiles based on the semantic descriptions of the threatsand type of software contained in the documents. The protection profile can be re-fined to obtain a security target document for the developed software, and again canbe independently checked by, for instance, the customers.

These two scenarios are examples of a wide range of scenarios of preparing documentsthat use mathematical concepts to specify requirements, individual algorithms, combinationsof complex software components, or communication protocols between software systems, forinstance security protocols.

Preliminary Work

After my Diploma thesis on proof-planning equational proofs by using dynamic abstractions forthe inductive theorem prover INKA, my research first focused on truth maintenance in evolu-tionary formal software development. Together with Dieter Hutter and later Till MossakowskiI established development graphs as a theoretical framework to efficiently deal with the effect

16

of changes in formal specifications. The framework has been first implemented in the MAYA-system [Autexier & Hutter, 2005]—of which I’m the main developer together with Dieter Hutter—and has been adopted as the standard proof calculus for the Common Algebraic SpecificationLanguage (CASL) [Mosses, 2004] and also for the XML-standard OMDOC [Kohlhase, 2006] foropen mathematical documents. An offspring of this research is a generic semantics-based dif-ferencing, patch and merge tool XMLDIFF for XML documents. In a second line of researchI developed the CORE calculus [Autexier, 2003, Autexier, 2005] for contextual reasoning whichsupports reasoning directly at the assertion level, where proof steps are justified in terms of ap-plications of definitions, lemmas, theorems, or hypotheses (collectively called “assertions”) andwhich is an established basis to generate proof presentations in natural language. The calcu-lus comprises a uniform notion of a logical context of subformulas as well as context-specificinference rules that operationalize assertion level proof steps. Both MAYA and the CORE cal-culus served as the key components in the new version of the proof assistant ΩMEGA whichwas developed under my guidance. In this context and together with Christoph Benzmüller Iinitiated the research direction to integrate proof assistants with text-editors. A first offspring ofthat research direction is the integration of ΩMEGA with the WYSIWYG text-editor TEXMACS viaa mediator called PLATΩ. This research conjoins research developments and experience frommanagement of change (MAYA), semantics-based computation of differences between versionsof documents, specifications and proofs (XMLDIFF) and supporting proof construction directlyat the assertion-level (CORE).

Finally, more recent research was concerned with extending the ideas of change manage-ment and authoring assistance by background reasoning systems to arbitrary semi-formal, struc-tured documents as they typically occur in a software development process.

To generalize the change management ideas to informal documents, the enabling idea wasthe explicit semantics method which consists of representing in a single, typed hyper-graph si-multaneously both the syntactic parts of documents and the intensional semantics containedin the documents. Document type specific graph rewriting rules are used to extract the inten-sional semantics of documents and the extracted semantic entities are linked to their syntacticorigin. That way any change in the document results in semantic objects which origins havebeen deleted or changed as well a syntactic objects for which there does not exists correspond-ing semantic entities yet. This information is then exploited by graph rewriting rules to computethe ripple effects of the changes on the semantics entities, which in a final stage are used to an-notate the syntactic parts of documents. To determine the semantic changes, we developed animproved version of the semantic tree difference analysis algorithm (XMLDIFF) parameterizedover document type specific equivalence relations to identify corresponding subparts of docu-ment. This resulted in the prototype tool GMoC [Autexier & Müller, 2010] parameterized overdocument type specific declarative equivalence specifications used for the semantic differenceanalysis and declarative graph rewriting rule systems to extract the semantics and to analyzethe impact of changes for a whole collection of documents. So far it has been successfully in-stantiated for the DocBook document format, the formal specification languages supported bythe heterogeneous tool set Hets1, the annotated C files as used in the SAMS project2 and iscurrently instantiated for the other documents that typically occur in a V-model based softwaredevelopment process.

To extend the authoring assistance from pure formalized documents to informal documents,we developed the Document and Tool Integration Platform (DocTIP) that mediates betweenediting and visualization components, such as editors, graphical user interfaces or IDEs, and

1www.informatik.uni-bremen.de/cofi/hets2www.sams-project.org

17

background reasoning systems, such as automatic and interactive theorem provers or formalspecification environments. Like for the change management, the DocTIP system is engineeredaround the idea of maintaining a collection of documents, follows the change-oriented softwarearchitecture design pattern developed together with my former PhD student Marc Wagner [Wag-ner, 2010] and employs GMoC for the change impact analysis. In addition DocTIP mediatesbetween the different editing components and reasoning components and propagates, for in-stance, proof status of proof obligations tackled by the background reasoner as well as editoperations performed by the user.

Vision and Research Program

The vision guiding my research is to enable a document-centric approach to formalizing, docu-menting and verifying mathematics and software. An author shall be able to prepare a documentwith corresponding authoring systems, such as text editors, modeling tools like Geometry Toolsor UML for software, and other IDEs. These documents shall serve as the single source for gen-erating printed versions of the documents as required, for instance, by reviewing processes ofjournals or a certification authority in the case of software, but also be accessible for reasoningsystems. For instance, all concepts, conjectures and (partial) proofs formalized in a documentshould be processable by the proof assistance system of choice. The author shall be able toaccess the formal logical parts contained in documents from third parties by a simple citationmechanism or by semantic copy and paste. In turn the author can grant other persons accessto her document either in the proprietary format of her authoring system or in a semanticallyannotated portable print format, e.g. PDF. The proof assistance system shall provide authoringsupport inside the authoring tool: the type of support ranges from simple type checking, via typereconstruction for under-specified parts, to interactive and automatic proof checking, proof con-struction support, consistency analysis, etc. Any of these supports, including proof construction,shall be in a style that is intuitive even if the author is not an expert in formal logic. This visionof actionable papers now also attracts the publishing industry, as is witnessed by the current callfor abstracts for “The Executable Paper Grand Challenge” co-iniated by Elsevier.3

My research activities are driven by this vision and shall result in increasing both the usageand the usability of formal modeling and reasoning techniques, and making specific function-alities, that only formal logic based techniques can reliably provide, available for a wider pub-lic. More specifically, the research subjects are the development of environments to efficientlysupport the authoring and maintenance of documents in software development processes, toincrease the usability of formal reasoning tools and to provide tutoring support to train studentsin using formal reasoning tools.

1 Authoring and Maintenance of Documents in Software Develop-ment Processes

This research will continue the work engaged in the DocTIP system and the precursor PLATΩ

system, that mediates between text-editors and the proof assistance systems (cf. [Marc Wagner,2006]). PLATΩ integrated the proof assistance system ΩMEGA into the text-editor TEXMACS andmaintained consistent representations in the text-editor and the proof assistance system. Fur-thermore, it context-sensitively relayed service requests from inside the text-editor to the proof

assistance system and transformed any modifications done by the proof assistance system intopatches to the document. The first line of research comprises to further improve and simplify forthe author the formulation of new concepts, conjectures and proofs in a document. The secondline of research is concerned with integrating other modalities like diagrams both to specify andverify software respectively aspects thereof. The third line of research is devoted to developformal methods for change impact analysis.

Supporting the Authoring of Documents: The first aspect here is to enlarge the variety ofsupported document formats and provide means to access the formal content given inother documents. Currently, PLATΩ supports the TEXMACS document format, but shall alsosupport LATEX, MS Word or semantically annotated PDF format.

A second aspect is to ease the writing of the formal logical content. Currently, we rely on asemantic markup attached to the different parts of the document, which must be providedmanually and contains all information that is relevant to the proof assistance system, e.g.the begin of a theory, the definition of a typed constant, the structure of formulas and thedifferent proof construction steps. Only the semantic markup is handled by PLATΩ whichignores the text itself. This provides a clean interface to the proof assistant systems, thatcan remain fixed while one can gradually include text analysis tools to automatically createthe semantic markup. On the other hand, natural language generation tools can be in-cluded to present parts of proofs found by the proof assistance system in natural languageinside the document. We have started to use parsers for formulas written in standardLATEX-style syntax in TEXMACS and especially to allow the user to define her own notationfor the introduced syntax. The user-defined syntax is used for parsing as well as for gen-eration of formulas obtained from the proof assistance system. Linking this mechanismwith linguistic text analysis and generation tools is an exciting line of research we startedto cooperate with experts from computational linguistics. The payoff is significant, as anyprogress in this context immediately results in a net simplification for the author. Further-more, it comprises the challenge that notations and formulations are not fixed once andfor all and on which the linguistic tools can be build. Rather, the author can define herown notation and formulations for different parts of a document, which creates challengingresearch questions for the text analysis and for the text generation.

Multi-modal Formalizations and Proof: Diagrams play an essential role in many mathemati-cal documents and software modeling approaches in general. For instance, flow charts,UML diagrams, message sequence charts are often used to specify software, simple func-tion diagrams are used to define and reason about properties of function compositions,similar diagrams are used in category theory, Venn and Spider diagrams are ubiquitousin any document about sets, and any geometry document would be unthinkable withoutdiagrams. Research about diagrammatic reasoning has developed into an own subfieldwith different international conferences and workshops.

The main benefit of diagrams in documents is their interrelation with the surrounding text.The problem is the right partitioning of a document into parts that are best explained bydiagrams and those that are best explained in natural language that references parts of thediagrams. In other words, we need a common semantics for both, diagrams and naturallanguage. This determines the quality of such documents—at the same time this partition-ing and referencing is also the major challenge both to analyze documents as well as togenerate these documents. New forms of media different from printed documents, suchas web-browsers or enhanced document viewers allow for new kinds of modalities, suchas animated function plots.

19

The key to link diagrams with descriptive natural language text is to have a symbolic dia-gram description language that adequately describes the visual arrangement of the dia-grams. There are promising initial symbolic diagram description languages, for instancefor Spider diagrams [Stapleton et al, 2006] and also for Euclidean geometry, where thevisualization tools have been bidirectionally linked with e.g. the proof assistance systemCoq [Narboux, 2007].

Based on these results we would like to investigate how diagrams can be supported asinput means to formalize software, how they can be supported as input means to verifysoftware that complement the natural language text. Conversely, we are interested howdiagrams can be generated together with natural language text both for descriptions ofsoftware as well as presentation of proof arguments establishing required properties. Inthe long term, we want to research how to extend this research to animated graphical visu-alizations. In this research I plan to cooperate with experts from computational linguistics,diagrammatic reasoning and classical software engineering.

Semantics-based maintenance and change impact analysis: This will continue the line ofresearch engaged in with the GMoC tool and the DocTIP environment. The explicit seman-tics method provides the right methodology and the usage of declarative graph rewritingrules a solid basis to operationalize the change impact analysis. The logical next step hereis to develop a formal method to design impact analysis rule systems themselves in orderto prove properties about the impact analysis: examples are qualitative properties like thatcertain changes never have an impact on some aspects of the documents or soundness ofthe impact analysis by proving it against a requirements specification for the impact anal-ysis itself. The goal here is to find a link between specifications of the impact analysis insome formal-logical language with tool support to prove properties about these specifica-tions and find means to prove the refinement relation between the specification and theactual graph rewriting rules. Finally, automated termination analysis of graph rewriting rulesystems is a further crucial aspect to deal with in the future and for which little results exist.

2 Usability of formal Reasoning Tools

Using a computer-supported proof assistance systems still requires knowledge about formallogic and especially about logical calculi. This is obvious for interactive theorem proving sys-tems, but also holds for fully automated theorem provers or model checkers. They presupposeknowledge about their internal operation to concisely filter and prepare their input to enableeffective use. Model checkers require more often than not a user-defined abstraction of thegiven formalization and the concise filtering consists of selecting just enough knowledge fromthe vast set of axioms, definitions and theorems – collectively called assertions – available inlarge structured specifications in order to avoid an explosion of the search space. Automationof the preparation and filtering of knowledge is a key feature to increase the usability of highlyefficient automated reasoning tools and is largely unexplored. Investigating these questions isone line of research and where I will build on initial research done with Alan Bundy and RoyMcCasland during a research visit to the University of Edinburgh.

These research questions similarly apply for interactive theorem proving environments. Inter-activity implies that one is actually interested in inspecting and presenting the proofs. Thereforethe means to conduct proofs must be intuitive for a non-expert user in order to make the toolseffectively usable. Proofs represented at the level of assertions [Huang, 1996] come closest tothe style in which humans write proofs and are a necessary prerequisite to integrate a proof as-

20

sistance system into authoring environments. Automating proof construction directly at the levelof assertions is a key technology necessary to allow for a synergistic cooperation of computer-based proof procedures and a human user who is an expert in his domain, but not in formal logic.The CORE-calculus [Autexier, 2005] developed in my PhD thesis laid the foundation to enablethe proof construction directly at the level of assertions, which paved the way for investigatingthe automation for proofs at the assertion level. Together with my student Dominik Dietrich I ex-tended it to provide a basis for proof planning and agent-oriented theorem proving. This allowsthe application of inference rules obtained from formulas to subformulas including the applicationof formulas in some part of a formula to other parts of a formula, like for instance, reducing thegoal formula (x = 0⇒ x+ y = y)⇒ 1+ (0+2) = 3 to (x = 0⇒ x+ y = y)⇒ (0 = 0∧ 1+2 = 3)(where ⇒ denotes classical implication). Related work was done by Benjamin Wack in [Wack,2005], who proposed supernatural deduction as an extension of natural deduction by new in-ference rules that are derived from the available assertions. It has recently been extended byPaul Brauner and Clément Houtmann for the sequent calculus, which is called superdeduc-tion [Brauner et al, 2007]. These approaches do not allow the application of the derived rulesinside sub-formulas, but have the advantage to provide proof terms—a feature missing in myapproach. Further related work is done in proof theory, where the properties of deep inferenceproof calculi 4 are studied, which allow for the deep application of calculus rules on subformulas.These studies showed that proofs based on deep reasoning rules allow for much shorter cut-free proofs than classical calculi. However, there is no study how to integrate the use of derivedinferences rules, which would close the link to the CORE calculus.

This results in the following specific research program:

Combining CORE, superdeduction and deep inference: The question to investigate here ishow to extend the superdeduction calculus to allow (1) the application of derived rules onsubformulas and (2) the application of parts of formulas to other parts of the same for-mula as supported by the CORE-calculus. The mechanisms developed for defining deepinference calculi will be a valuable source of inspiration to study these research questions.These research questions are highly exciting and especially how to define proof terms forsuch a calculus is completely open. Defining such proof terms would allow to design proofchecking procedure that certify proofs performed at the assertion level. Furthermore, itcan be used as a semantics for the proof language of OMDOC, where we could follow ourapproach taken in [Autexier & Sacerdoti-Coen, 2006] that is based on the λµµ-calculus.Based on that connection, any theoretical result about proof representations can immedi-ately be used to enhance the OMDOC standard, which in turn will ease the interfacing ofthe whole authoring and maintenance framework to other proof assistance systems.

Automating proof search at the assertion level: We want to investigate how to automate proofsearch at the assertion-level. This consists of two lines of research: Along the first line ofresearch we want to generate CORE-style assertion-level proofs from proofs found bystandard automated theorem provers like Setheo, Vampire, E, or Spass—at least for purefirst-order logic problems. For real classical higher-order logic, for which the CORE cal-culus has been defined, we will build on the automated higher-order logic theorem proverLEO-II [Benzmüller et al, 2007], which is currently developed by Christoph Benzmüller. Thefirst experiments with LEO-II show that proof automation can actually benefit from the highexpressivity and conciseness of higher-order logic. Like for the first-order logic automatedtheorem provers, the challenge for generating assertion-level proofs is to bridge the gapfrom the machine-oriented, low-level proof calculi of these automated theorem provers.

21

The pay-off of this whole first line research is that it would grant access to highly efficientautomated theorem provers for the non-expert user via an intuitive proof representationformat.

A second line of research consists of designing automatic proof procedures that workdirectly on the assertion level. First results in that direction obtained together with myPhD student Dominik Dietrich [Dietrich, 2011] as well as work by McLaughlin and FrankPenning [McLaughlin & Pfenning, 2009] show that this a hot topic with a lot of potential toimprove the automation of proof search. I plan to investigate on the one hand how generalproof procedures can be defined for reasoning on the assertion-level, like for instancesimplification, difference reduction techniques, or generalized ordered resolution. On theother hand I plan to investigate domain-specific proof techniques, like generalizing Ripplingused to guide induction proofs.

The interesting question underlying this research questions is how to obtain “good” proofs.Indeed, not all assertion-level proofs will be considered as good proofs by the human andthere is a lot of freedom to research this question in the long-term, ranging from trying toformalize what a “good” proof actually is to trying to learn what kind of proofs a specificuser wants to have, which serves the vision that a proof assistance system adapts to auser.

Automating Proof Search in Large Structured Theories: The main application domains of computer-based theorem proving are mathematical assistance systems, mathematical teaching as-sistants, and hardware and software verification in computer science. The formalizations ofmathematical knowledge and software systems are typically organized in large structuredtheories and the conjectures of their properties need to be proved relative to some specifictheory. In these domains human guidance of the proof procedures is indispensable, evenfor theorems that are simple by human standards.

Aside from providing guidance information about how to explore the search space, the hu-man user has to select a relevant subset of the available axioms and lemmas which areprovided to the theorem-proving system and the performance of automatic proof proce-dures depends on the concise filtering of the available information. In case proof attemptsfail, the user needs to either readjust the selected knowledge from the theories or he hasto come up with a missing lemma which is not yet part of the knowledge contained in thetheories. In these domains, a proof attempt consists not only of trying to prove a conjecturefrom a set of axioms, i.e. the classical theorem proving in-the-small, but takes place in alarge, structured context of different theories. There has been intensive research and tooldevelopment for automated theorem proving, for representing and maintaining structuredtheories and for theory exploration to synthesize interesting properties of a new domain,but there has been little research about how to efficiently combine them to solve a givenproblem. Furthermore, there how proof procedures can actually take advantage of the factthat a theorem proving task takes place in the context of theory with rich structures.

We plan to investigate in-the-large reasoning procedures that automate the combinationof these three components as well as how they can take advantage of the structure of thebackground theory in order to prove a given conjecture. Relevant research questions arehow to filter relevant knowledge from the structure of the theories and the kind of knowledgecontained therein; how to analyze failed proof attempts in order to determine our needs foradditional knowledge; how to decide when additional theory exploration is necessary andhow to combine theory exploration with structured theories; how the structure of theoriescan be exploited to decompose or reformulate a proof task into new tasks which have

22

better automatic proof support.

3 Training Students in using Formal Reasoning Tools

To know how to do proofs is a skill that is essential for every mathematician, scientist and soft-ware engineer who should employ formal methods. Hence, learning how to do proofs is a majorpart in the education of students of these professions. Computer-supported learning is an in-creasingly important form of study since it allows for independent learning and individualizedinstruction. Existing approaches to proof tutoring use automated theorem proving and domain-specific reasoning rules augmented with domain- and problem-specific information about typicalerrors and feedback. This information is typically pre-authored and hampers the porting of theproof tutoring system to different domains and problems.

The pedagogical strategy for proof tutoring we consider is as follows: rather than teachingstudents mathematical proof by forcing them to do a proof in a typical formal calculus, we want toallow the student to freely build any valid proof of the theorem at hand, and each proposed proofstep is analyzed in the context of the partial student proof developed so far. On the tutoring side,this gives the freedom to adapt the tutoring to the student’s skills: less experienced students willbe taught more rigid proof styles that come close to the proof style enforced by classical formalcalculi, while this is not imposed for more experienced students, which will have less syntacticor structural restrictions.

For this reason, automating proof tutoring requires dynamic techniques that allow to assessthe student’s proof steps on a case-by-case basis and generate the appropriate feedback. Thefeedback can take the form of confirming correct steps, drawing the students attention to errors,and offering domain specific hints when the student gets stuck. In case the tutor system is askedto give a hint, the hint is generated in the context of the current proof, and it has to be exactlytailored to the student’s skills and the situation in which the hint was requested.

Assertion-level reasoning as supported by CORE and implemented in the mathematical proofassistance system ΩMEGA provides an adequate environment to research proof search andanalysis strategies. It allows to take the students proving skills into account and thus to developa learner model tailored to the needs of proof tutoring.

The research objectives are to further develop domain-independent criteria (i) to dynamicallyevaluate the correctness, granularity and relevance of user uttered proof steps, (ii) to providedomain-independent and domain-specific didactic strategies exploiting the dynamic proof stepanalysis capabilities of the ΩMEGA system, and (iii) to generate useful hints for the student. Proofstep analysis will be based on the student’s abilities, the teaching goal, the current conjectureand the history of the proof under development. The evaluation criteria shall serve as a basisto develop generic methods to analyze partial proofs and proof steps in a tutorial context and tosupport the generation of suitable feedback and hints to the student.

A particular challenge is the conjunction of domain-independent and domain-specific didacticstrategies as well as the generation of feedback in case of incorrect user proof steps. Takingonly syntactic criteria of inference rule applications in a proof into account will generally not besufficient for the generation of useful hints. This has also been confirmed by [VanLehn et al,2005] who state:

“[. . . ], because ANDES1 used a syntactic knowledge-free technique for analyzingerrors, it gave syntactic, knowledge-free hints on how to fix them. Such hints probablydid more harm than good.”

More specifically, we will investigate the following challenging questions: Can our dynamic

23

domain reasoning approach provide support for the detection of near misses and their distinctionfrom fundamentally wrong proof steps and elementary misconceptions? Can we model didacticstrategies and support appropriate system feedback for some or all of these cases? In particular,can we detect good counter-examples to incorrect proof steps and can we realize appropriatemeans to present and explain them to the user?

The above work will build upon methods and tools developed in the DIALOG project of theCollaborative Research Centre “Resource-adaptive, cognitive processes (SFB-378)” at Saar-land University until 2008 and further pursued in the recently the doctoral thesis of MarvinSchiller [Schiller, 2010], who was also a member of the ΩMEGA research group in Saarbrücken.I plan to cooperate with him as well as experts from the e-learning community on that researchtopic.
