Maximal completion is a simple yet powerful approach to Knuth-Bendix
completion based on maxSMT. The talk first describes how this method
extends to ordered completion and gives rise to a competitive equa-
tional theorem prover. In the next step the approach is integrated
into an instantiation-based theorem proving loop. Maximal completion
itself as well as instantiation-based theorem proving can be seen as
conflict-driven procedures. The talk focuses on the underlying deduction 
systems as implemented in the equational theorem prover maedmax, but 
also discusses certification of tool results as well as machine learning 
as a means to improve heuristics.
