Description:
In general, termination or the halting of computer processes is undecidable. However, termination proofs play a fundamental role in many applications and the challenges are both practical and theoretical. From a practical point of view, proving termination is a central problem in software development and formal methods for termination analysis are essential for program verification. From a theoretical point of view, termination is closely connected to mathematical logic and ordinal theory. Many results have been achieved on termination of rewriting, but it is encouraged that termination questions from other areas will be covered by the workshop, too. Therefore, the topic of the workshop is how to prove termination of any kind of computation.
