The book is intended for researchers, not only for those working in term rewriting, but it is also of interest for scientists working in areas like functional or logic programming, formal methods, automated reasoning, and symbolic computation, since term rewriting is also a fundamental concept in these areas. For example, Chapter 11 will ...

This volume contains thoroughly revised versions of the contributions presented at the French Spring School of Theoretical Computer Science, held in Font Romeu, France in May 1993. This seminar was devoted to rewriting in a broad sense, as rewriting is now an important discipline, relating to many other areas such as formal languages, models of ...

This volume contains the final revised versions of the best papers presented at the First International Workshop on Higher-Order Algebra, Logic, and Term Rewriting (HOA '93), held in Amsterdam in September 1993. Higher-Order methods are increasingly applied in functional and logic programming languages, as well as in specification and verification ...
This textbook offers a unified and self-contained introduction to the field of term rewriting. It covers all the basic material (abstract reduction systems, termination, confluence, completion, and combination problems), but also some important and closely connected subjects: universal algebra, unification theory, Grobner bases and Buchberger's ...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Rewriting Techniques and Applications, RTA-97, held in Sitges, Spain, in June 1997. The 24 revised full papers presented were selected from a total of 54 submissions. Also included are abstracts of two invited talks and four system descriptions. Besides classical ...
Clavel's book proposes a general theory of reflective logics and reflective declarative programming languages that provides a conceptual foundation for judging the extent to which a computational system is reflective. Applying this general framework, Clavel makes an in depth study of reflection in rewriting logic. This book presents examples of ...
Term rewriting systems developed out of mathematical logic and are an important part of theoretical computer science. They consist of sequences of discrete transformation steps where one term is replaced with another and have applications in many areas, from functional programming to automatic theorem proving and computer algebra. This book starts ...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Rewriting Techniques and Applications, RTA 2001, held in Utrecht, The Netherlands, in May 2001. The 23 revised full papers presented together with two system descriptions were carefully reviewed and selected from 55 submissions. All current aspects of rewriting ...
This volume contains the proceedings of the Second International Conference on Rewriting Techniques and Applications, 'RTA 87', held in Bordeaux, France, May 1987.
A certain category of infinite strings of letters on a finite alphabet is presented here, chosen among the 'simplest' possible one may build, both because they are very deterministic and because they are built by simple rules (a letter is replaced by a word, a sequence is produced by iteration). These substitutive sequences have a surprisingly ...
This monograph treats comprehensively central aspects of string rewriting systems in the form of semi-Thue systems. These are so general as to enable the discussion of all the basic notions and questions that arise in arbitrary replacement systems as used in various areas of computer science. The Church-Rosser property is used in its original ...
Charting the progress of the theory, implementation and applications of rewriting models of computation, this study represents a key resource for researchers. A major feature of the book is the presentation of theoretical advances such as a new theory of transfinite term rewriting, a single pushout categorical model of graph rewriting and an ...
This is an introduction to the techniques of functional programming, the associated computational models and the implementation of functional programming languages on both sequential and parallel machines. The book presents the features of functional programming languages, using Miranda as an example language. It focuses on an alternative ...
This textbook offers a unified and self-contained introduction to the field of term rewriting. It covers all the basic material (abstract reduction systems, termination, confluence, completion, and combination problems), but also some important and closely connected subjects: universal algebra, unification theory, Grobner bases and Buchberger's ...
Symbolic rewriting techniques are methods for deriving consequences from systems of equations, and are of great use when investigating the structure of the solutions. Such techniques appear in many important areas of research within computer algebra: the Knuth-Bendix completion for groups, monoids and general term-rewriting systems; the Buchberger ...
It is well-known that context-free grammars cannot cover all aspects of natural languages, progamming languages and other related fields. Therefore a lot of mechanisms have been introduced which control the application of context-free rules. This book presents 25 different regulating mechanisms by definitions, examples and basic facts, especially ...
In recent years, extensions of rewriting techniques that go beyond the traditional untyped algebraic rewriting framework have been investigated and developed. Among these extensions, conditional and typed systems are particularly important, as are higher-order systems, graph rewriting systems, etc. The international CTRS (Conditional and Typed ...
