PTTP and Linked Inference

This paper reports on a combination of two research efforts, the Prolog Technology Theorem Prover (PTTP), and theory resolution in the guise of linked inference. Both received a great deal of encouragement and support over the years from Woody Bledsoe, by personal discussions and by his inviting me to discuss these topics with his students and colleagues at the University of Texas and MCC. He also invited me to cochair with him an AAAI workshop on the encompassing topic of high-performance theorem proving at Stanford in 1989.
