International Workshop on Confluence

This site provides information on the International Workshop on Confluence (IWC).

Confluence provides a general notion of determinism and has been conceived as one of the central properties of rewriting. Confluence relates to many topics of rewriting (completion, modularity, termination, commutation, etc.) and had been investigated in many formalisms of rewriting such as first-order rewriting, lambda-calculi, higher-order rewriting, constrained rewriting, conditional rewriting, etc. Recently there is a renewed interest in confluence research, resulting in new techniques, tool supports, certification as well as new applications. The workshop aims at promoting further research in confluence and related properties.
