		Automated theorem proving (currently the most important subfield of automated reasoning) is the proving of mathematical theorems by a computer program.
		The quality of implemented system has benefited by the existence of a large library of standard benchmark examples (the TPTP), as well as by the CADE ATP System Competition (CASC), a yearly competition of first-order systems for many important classes of first-order problems.
		E is a high-performance prover built on a purely equational calculus, developed primarily in the automated reasoning group of Technical University of Munich.

	Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System (IAFIS) is a national fingerprint and criminal history system maintained by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
		The IAFIS maintains the largest biometric database in the world, containing the fingerprints and corresponding criminal history information for more than 47 million subjects in the Criminal Master File.
		Fingerprints are voluntarily submitted to the FBI by local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies.

	GAO-04-260, Law Enforcement: Information on Timeliness of Criminal Fingerprint Submissions to the FBI
		Copies of fingerprints taken as a result of an arrest at the local or state level are submitted to the state's central repository and, in turn, to the FBI for entry into IAFIS.
		Over One-Fourth of Criminal Fingerprints Were Entered into IAFIS the Same Day as the Date of Arrest for the Period We Analyzed: For a large number of criminal fingerprints, local and state law enforcement agencies have demonstrated the ability to make submissions to IAFIS the same day as the date of the arrest.
		The need for positive, fingerprint-based identifications- -providing linkages to complete criminal history records--is not likely to diminish in the foreseeable future, given that significant numbers of arrestees have multistate criminal histories, the incidence of identity theft or identity fraud is growing, and homeland security concerns and noncriminal justice demands are increasing.

	Federal Bureau of Investigation - CJIS Division - Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System
		Fingerprints are acquired as a result of an arrest at the city, county, state or federal level.
		The fingerprints are processed locally and then electronically forwarded to a state or other federal agency system for processing.
		Fingerprints are acquired related to a background check for employment, licensing, and other non-criminal justice purposes where authorized by federal and state law and in compliance with appropriate regulations.

		The AFIS system may use the rolled impressions or a combination of the rolled and flat impressions of all fingers to compare against the unsolved crime latent database.
		Modern systems offer grey scale images and, depending on the system, these images may be captured using up to 256 grey levels which gives the examiner more detailed data to compare and identify.
		Once fingerprints have been searched against the AZAFIS database they are automatically electronically submitted to the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System (IAFIS) to be searched against the national fingerprint database.

	Rafael Resendez-Ramirez Case - 9
		An FBI official involved with these integration issues told the OIG that the FBI was frustrated in its efforts to get from the INS all its requirements for its automated identification system.
		It stated that the INS system had to have databases of sufficient capacity (450,000 for the lookout database, 1.5 million for the recidivist database) and had to be able to handle a high volume of checks (up to 8,000 a day) with a two-minute response time for checking both databases.
		Third, the further each agency progressed toward the respective goals of their own automated fingerprint identification systems, the harder it was to back up to accommodate the needs of integration.

		Factors we considered in selecting the states to study were the scope of the states' laws authorizing background checks, whether the states had any automated fingerprint identification services, the number of youth under age 18 in the states, and geographical coverage.
		But, whatever the scope, there must be a state law requiring fingerprinting of the employee or volunteer and allowing\5 the FBI to conduct criminal history background checks of persons in or applying for the specified categories of jobs or positions.
		Pursuant to the 1972 act, the FBI is authorized to exchange identification records with officials of state and local governments for purposes of licensing and employment if authorized by a state statute that has been approved by the U.S. Attorney General.
