Overview of the Event

It is a challenging topic to automatically determine upper bounds on the complexity of rewrite systems. By complexity of a TRS, we mean the maximal length of derivations, where either no restrictions on the initial terms are present ("derivational complexity") or only constructor based terms are considered ("runtime complexity"). See (Hirokawa, Moser, 2008) for further reading on the notion of runtime complexity. Additionally one distinguishes between complexities induced by full rewriting as opposed to complexities induced by specific strategies, as for example innermost rewriting.
