Formal synthesis of a unification algorithm by the deductive-tableau method

Abstract: We present the formal derivation of a unification algorithm using the deductive-tableau method for program synthesis. The methodology is briefly described, with emphasis on the deduction rules used in the derivation. Starting from an input-output specification expressed in first-order logic, a unification algorithm is synthesized by proving the validity of the specification. The termination of the synthesized program is also proved.

An Application of the Event Calculus for Representing the History of a Software Project
