TPTP, TSTP, CASC, etc

This paper gives an overview of activities and products that stem from the Thousands of Problems for Theorem Provers (TPTP) problem library for Automated Theorem Proving (ATP) systems. These include the TPTP itself, the Thousands of Solutions from Theorem Provers (TSTP) solution library, the CADE ATP System Competition (CASC), tools such as my semantic Derivation Verifier (GDV) and the Interactive Derivation Viewer (IDV), meta-ATP systems such as the Smart Selective Competition Parallelism (SSCPA) system and the Semantic Relevance Axiom Selection System (SRASS), and applications in various domains.
