WST 2023: 19th International Workshop on Termination - Call for Papers

Co-located with IWC 2023

The Workshop on Termination (WST) traditionally brings together, in an informal setting, researchers interested in all aspects of termination, whether this interest be practical or theoretical, primary or derived. The workshop also provides a ground for cross-fertilization of ideas from the different communities interested in termination (e.g., working on computational mechanisms, programming languages, software engineering, constraint solving, etc.). The friendly atmosphere enables fruitful exchanges leading to joint research and subsequent publications.

Topics

The 19th International Workshop on Termination welcomes contributions on all aspects of termination. In particular, papers investigating applications of termination (for example in complexity analysis, program  analysis and transformation, theorem proving, program correctness, modeling computational systems, etc.) are very welcome.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

• termination and complexity analysis in any domain (declarative programming, lambda calculus, procedural programming, rewriting, transition systems, etc.)
• probabilistic termination, termination probability and expected complexity analysis
• abstraction methods in termination analysis
• certification of termination and complexity proofs
• challenging termination problems
• comparison and classification of termination methods
• implementation of termination analysis methods
• non-termination analysis and loop detection
• normalization and infinitary normalization
• operational termination of logic-based systems
• ordinal notation and subrecursive hierarchies
• SAT, SMT, and constraint solving for (non-)termination analysis
• scalability and modularity of termination methods
• well-founded relations and well-quasi-orders

Keynote Speaker

Benjamin Kaminski, Saarland U.

Submission Guidlines

Submissions are short papers/extended abstracts which should not exceed 5 pages. There will be no formal reviewing. In particular, we welcome short versions of recently published articles and papers submitted elsewhere. The program committee checks relevance and provides additional feedback for each submission. The accepted papers will be made available electronically before the workshop.

Papers should be submitted electronically via the submission page:

      https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wst23

Please, use LaTeX and the LIPIcs style file

     https://www.dagstuhl.de/en/publishing/series/details/LIPIcs

to prepare your submission.

Venue

The workshop will be held at the University Center Obergurgl, Austria, and co-located with IWC 2023.
