Zusammenfassung

The aim of this work is to present an ongoing project to formalize,in the framework of diagrammatic logic (due to Dominique Duvaland Christian Lair) some data structures appearing in Sergeraert’s symbolic computation systems Kenzo and EAT. More precisely, we intend to translate into the diagrammatic setting a previous work based on standard algebraic specification techniques. In particular, we give hints onthe reason why an important construction (called imp construction) inthe specification of the systems can be understood as a freely generating functor between suitable categories of diagrammatic realizations. Even if very partial, these positive results seem to indicate that this new kind of specification is promising in the field of symbolic computation
