[Agda] Call for papers: Workshop on Termination (WST 2009)

[voigt at tcs.inf.tu-dresden.de]

Hello,

Termination is of obvious interest in dependently typed programming. So I
think the below event may appeal to many on this list.

Best regards,
Janis Voigtlaender.

Tenth International Workshop on Termination (WST 2009)

Leipzig, Germany, June 3-5, 2009

http://www.imn.htwk-leipzig.de/wst09/

Termination is a fundamental topic in computer science. Classical
undecidability results show that termination is difficult. On the other
hand, programs are usually required to terminate. So methods are needed
that prove termination and non-termination automatically for a wide range
of programs. Termination proofs are essential not only for program
verification, but also as components of program transformation systems.
The topic is challenging both in theory (mathematical logic, proof theory)
and practice (software development, formal methods), and many interesting
ramifications are yet to be explored.

The 10th International Workshop on Termination will delve into all aspects
of termination of processes. It will continue the sequence of successful
workshops held in St. Andrews (1993), La Bresse (1995), Ede (1997),
Dagstuhl (1999), Utrecht (2001), Valencia (2003), Aachen (2004), Seattle
(2006), and Paris (2007). It will attain the same friendly atmosphere as
those past workshops. The intent is to bring together, in an informal
setting, researchers interested in all aspects of termination, whether
this interest be practical or theoretical, primary or derived. The
workshop shall help exchange ideas from term rewriting and from the
various programming language communities.

Contributions from the imperative, constraint, functional, and logic
programming communities, and papers investigating new applications of
termination are particularly welcome.
