     WST 2021 - Call for Papers

     17th International Workshop on Termination

  http://costa.fdi.ucm.es/wst2021

    July 16, 2021, Pittsburgh, PA, United States

      Co-located with CADE-28

======================================================================

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.

IMPORTANT DATES:

  * submission deadline:  April 18, 2021

  * notification:         May 23, 2021

  * final version due:    June 13, 2021

  * workshop:             July 16, 2021

TOPICS:

The 17th 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):

  * abstraction methods in termination analysis

  * certification of termination and complexity proofs

  * challenging termination problems

  * comparison and classification of termination methods

  * complexity analysis in any domain

  * implementation of termination 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

  * termination analysis in any domain (lambda calculus, declarative

    programming, rewriting, transition systems, etc.)

  * well-founded relations and well-quasi-orders

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:

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=wst2021

Please, use LaTeX and the LIPIcs style file

     http://drops.dagstuhl.de/styles/lipics/lipics-authors.tgz

to prepare your submission.
