Workshop: HTWK Leipzig, Germany, September 3-4, 2025. Submission deadline: June 25.
Co-located with 14th Intl. Workshop on Confluence (IWC), September 2-3.
The Workshop on Termination (WST) traditionally brings together, in an informal setting, researchers interested in all aspects of termination, whether this interest be practical or theoretical, primary or derived. The workshop also provides a ground for cross-fertilization of ideas from the different communities interested in termination (e.g., working on computational mechanisms, programming languages, software engineering, constraint solving, etc.). The friendly atmosphere enables fruitful exchanges leading to joint research and subsequent publications.
Previous workshops were held at St. Andrews (1993), La Bresse (1995), Ede (1997), Dagstuhl (1999), Utrecht (2001), Valencia (2003), Aachen (2004), Seattle (2006), Paris (2007), Leipzig (2009), Edinburgh (2010), Obergurgl (2012), Bertinoro (2013), Vienna (2014), Obergurgl (2016), Oxford (2018), virtually (2021), Haifa (2022), Obergurgl (2023).
The 20th International Workshop on Termination welcomes contributions on all aspects of termination. In particular, papers investigating applications of termination (for example in complexity analysis, program analysis and transformation, theorem proving, program correctness, modeling computational systems, etc.) are very welcome.
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
Since 2003, the effect of WST to stimulate new research on termination has been enhanced by the Termination Competition and its continuously developing Problem Databases containing thousands of programs as challenges for termination analysis in different categories.
In 2025, the Termination Competition will run during WST.
Authors of participating tools and benchmarks are invited to submit a short paper and give a presentation at the workshop.
Submissions are short papers/extended abstracts which should not exceed 5 pages. There will be no formal reviewing. In particular, we welcome short versions of recently published articles and papers submitted elsewhere. The program committee checks relevance and provides additional feedback for each submission. The accepted papers will be made available electronically before the workshop.
Please use LaTeX and the LIPIcs style file to prepare your submission.
Papers should be submitted electronically via the submission page.
