Background

This site lists relevant information for the 6th Confluence Competition (CoCo 2017). The competition will run live during the 6th International Workshop on Confluence (IWC 2017), to be collocated with the 2nd International Conference on Formal Structures for Computation and Deduction (FSCD 2017) in Oxford, United Kingdom. We invite everyone developing confluence (and related) tools to join CoCo 2017, to share problems and challenges.

Categories

The following categories will be run:

• confluence of first-order term rewrite systems (TRS)
• confluence of conditional term rewrite systems (CTRS)
• certification (CPF)
• confluence of higher-order term rewrite systems (HRS)
• ground confluence of many-sorted term rewrite systems (GCR) new!
• unique normal form properties of first-order term rewrite systems (UN) new!

For the details (input, problem, etc.) of each category, check the category page. The CPF and UN categories are combined categories, and all of their component categories will be run.
