題目 Conditional Complexity
要旨 In this talk we propose a notion of complexity for oriented conditional term rewrite systems. This notion is realistic in the sense that it measures not only successful computations but also partial computations that result in a failed rule application. A transformation to unconditional context-sensitive rewrite systems is presented which reflects this complexity notion, as well as a first technique to derive runtime and derivational complexity bounds for the latter. The talk is based on joint research with Cynthia Kop and Thomas Sternagel.

題目 Z Syntax-Free Developments
要旨 We introduce the Z-property for abstract rewriting systems, and show that it can be used to prove confluence of several well-known term rewrite systems (terminating or not, and overlapping or not), in particular:

- the applicative TRS for associativity: (xy)z -> x(yz);
- the applicative TRS for self-distributivity: (xy)z -> xz(yz);
- lambda-calculus with beta-reduction: (\x.M)N -> M[x:=N].

Turning to meta-theoretical properties, we first show that the Z-propery allows to recover the traditionally syntactically defined notion of (super)development/multistep in a syntax-free way. To that end, we show the equivalence between the Z-property and Takahashi's angle-property. Next, we showing that the Z-property not only entails confluence, but also the existence of a hyper-cofinal strategy. We conclude by presenting further (non-)examples of rewrite systems having the Z-property, and some open questions.

題目 Modelling of bonding with processes ad events
要旨 We introduce two forms of modelling of systems that consist of objects that are combined together by the means of bonds. In reaction systems for bonding we define how bonds are created and dissolved via reduction-style semantics. The usefulness of reaction systems is illustrated with examples taken from software engineering and biochemistry. We also introduce reversible event structures and define the notion of configuration. We then discuss how to give semantics of reaction systems for bonding in terms of reversible event structures.

題目 Labelings for Decreasing Diagrams
要旨 This talk is concerned with automating the decreasing diagrams technique of van Oostrom for establishing confluence of term rewrite systems. We build on recent work (van Oostrom 2008), (Aoto 2010), and (Hirokawa and Middeldorp 2010) and study abstract criteria that allow to lexicographically combine labelings to show local diagrams decreasing. This approach has two immediate benefits. First, it allows to use labelings for linear rewrite systems also for left-linear ones, provided some mild conditions are satisfied. Second, it admits an incremental method for proving confluence which subsumes recent developments in automating decreasing diagrams. The techniques proposed in the paper have been implemented and experimental results demonstrate how, e.g., the rule labeling benefits from our contributions.

題目 シャローな項書換え系の最内停止性の決定可能性について
要旨 変数の出現が深さ1以下に制限された項書換え系のクラスでは、最も 内側から計算を進める最内計算の停止性問題が決定可能であることを示す。こ の手法は依存対法に基づいているため、依存対プロセッサと呼ばれる停止性判 定ツールの構成手法と親和性が高く有効である。

題目 Multi-Completion with Termination Tools
要旨 Knuth-Bendix completion is a well-known method for transforming equational theories into convergent rewrite systems. Traditional implementations of completion use a fixed reduction order to determine the orientation of rules. This restricts power and requires expertise of the user. In this talk we describe a new tool for performing completion with automatic termination tools. It is based on two ingredients: (1) the inference system for completion with multiple reduction orderings introduced by Kurihara and Kondo (1999) and (2) the inference system for completion with external termination provers proposed by Wehrman, Stump and Westbrook (2006) and implemented in the Slothrop system. Our tool can be used with any termination tool that satisfies certain minimal requirements. Preliminary experimental results show the potential of our tool.

題目 Predictive Labeling
要旨 Semantic labeling is a transformation technique for proving the termination of rewrite systems. The semantic part is given by a quasi-model of the rewrite rules. In this talk we present a variant of semantic labeling in which the quasi-model condition is only demanded for the usable rules induced by the labeling. Our variant is less powerful in theory but maybe more useful in practice. (This is a slight update of RTA 2006 talk).

題目 Integrating Decision Procedures in the Calculus of Constructions
要旨 It is commonly agreed that the success of future proof assistants will rely on their ability to incorporate computations within deductions in order to mimic the mathematician when replacing the proof of a proposition P by the proof of an equivalent proposition P' obtained from P thanks to possibly complex calculations.

In this work, we investigate a new version of the calculus of constructions which incorporates arbitrary decision procedures into deductions via the conversion rule of the calculus. Besides the novelty of the problem itself in the context of the calculus of constructions, a major technical innovation of this work lies in the fact that the computation mechanism varies along proof-checking: goals are sent to the decision procedure together with the set of user hypotheses available from the current context. Our main result shows that this extension of the calculus of constructions does not compromise its main properties: confluency, strong normalization and decidability of proof-checking are all preserved.

We also show in detail how a goal to be proved in the calculus of constructions is actually transformed into a goal in a decidable first-order theory. Based on this transformation, we are currently developping a new version of Coq implementing this calculus, taking linear arithmetic and the theory of lists as targets combined via Shostak's algorithm.

題目 Infinitary Term Rewriting Systems
要旨 Modelling lazy and stream based programming languages requires the modelling of their infinite behaviour. Since Term Rewriting Systems (TRSs) were developed to model finite behaviour, modelling the infinite behaviour can be quite awkward. To alleviate this problem, infinitary Term Rewriting Systems (iTRSs) were invented.

In this talk I introduce the basic notions underlying the definition of iTRSs, i.e., infinite terms and infinite reductions. Time permitted, I thereafter show how to extend confluence, termination, normalisation, and modularity to iTRSs. For each of these notions I give examples of the failure of the most important results as they exist in the context of the usual TRSs and I hint at ways of partially recovering the results.
