It is known that the first-order theory with a single predicate → that denotes one-step rewriting reduction on terms is undecidable already for formulae with ∃∀ prefix. Sev...
We study the problem of generating e cient, equivalent rewritings using views to compute the answer to a query. We take the closed-world assumption, in which views are materialize...
We give an inductive method for proving weak innermost termination of rule-based programs, from which we automatically infer, for each successful proof, a finite strategy for data...
Abstract. We show how to generate well-founded and stable term orderings based on polynomial interpretations over the real numbers. Monotonicity (another usual requirement in termi...
In recent years light-weighted formal methods are of growing interest in construction and analysis of complex concurrent software system. A new rule-action based term rewriting fr...
