Annual International Termination Competition
During the 90's a number of new, powerful termination methods was developed. Thus, at the the beginning of the millennium many research groups started to develop tools for fully-automated termination analysis.
After a tool demonstration at the 2003 Workshop on Termination in Valencia, the community decided to install an annual termination competition to spur the development of tools and new termination techniques.
Upcoming events:
- Termination Competition 2009 (December) Results, Announcement, Web site.
- Termination Competition 2010 (July)
Competition Categories
Currently, the competition features the following categories:
- termination of string and term rewriting
- termination of logic programs
- certified termination of string and term rewriting (since 2007)
- termination of functional programs (since 2007)
- complexity of term rewriting (since 2008)
- termination of java bytecode programs (since 2009)
Planned extensions:
- termination of higher order rewriting (under consideration)
- integer term rewriting (under consideration)
Termination Problems Data Base
The Termination Problems Data Base collects all the problems used in the competitions.
History of Termination Competitions
So far, the following competitions have taken place:
- Termination Competition 2004
- Termination Competition 2005
- Termination Competition 2006
- Termination Competition 2007
- Termination Competition 2008 ([Report])
Discussion is open and primarily happens on the termtools mailing list. Decisions will be made by votes among the Termination Competition Steering Committee.
