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.
From 2004 till 2007, the competition organizer was Claude Marche, Paris. Since 2008 the competition was run by Rene Thiemann, Innsbruck. For 2014, we intend to move to the Star Exec platform (at U Iowa).
Upcoming Competitions
The Termination Competition 2014 will be part of FLoC Olympic Games.
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 rewrite systems (since 2008)
- termination of java bytecode programs (since 2009)
- termination of higher order rewriting (since 2010)
Extensions under consideration for 2014
Longer term plans
Discussion is open and primarily happens on the termtools mailing list. Decisions will be made by votes among the Termination Competition Steering Committee.
Termination Problems Data Base
The Termination Problems Data Base collects all the problems used in the competitions.
We welcome problem submissions from non-participants.
