This work was extended by a number of researchers, José Meseguer among them, who presented General Logics, an abstract framework that complements the model theoretical view of institutions by defining the categorical structures that provide a proof theory for any given logic. In this paper we intend to complete this picture by providing the notion of Satisfiability Calculus, which might be thought of as the semantical counterpart of the notion of proof calculus, that provides the formal foundations for those proof systems that use model construction techniques to prove or disprove a given formula, thus “implementing” the satisfiability relation of an institution. %G English %Z TC 1 %Z WG 1.3 %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01485970/document %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01485970/file/978-3-642-37635-1_12_Chapter.pdf %L hal-01485970 %U https://inria.hal.science/hal-01485970 %~ IFIP-LNCS %~ IFIP %~ IFIP-TC %~ IFIP-TC1 %~ IFIP-WG1-3 %~ IFIP-LNCS-7841 %~ IFIP-WADT
