Rewriting Logic and Its Applications: 8th International Workshop, WRLA 2010, 9783642163098 (3642163092), Springer, 2010

Rewriting is a form of inference, and one that interacts in several ways with other forms of inference such as decision procedures and proof search. We discuss a range of issues at the intersection of rewriting and inference. How can other inference procedures be combined with rewriting? Can rewriting be used to describe inference procedures? What are some of the theoretical challenges and practical applications of combining rewriting and inference? How can rewriters, decision procedures, and their combination be certified? We discuss these problems in the context of our ongoing effort to use PVS as a metatheoretic framework to construct a proof kernel for justifying the claims of theorem provers, rewriters, model checkers, and satisfiability solvers.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th International Workshop on Rewriting Logic and its Applications, WRLA 2010, held as a satellite event of ETAPS 2010, Paphos, Cyprus, in March 2010. The 13 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 29 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on termination and narrowing; tools; the K framework; applications and semantics; maude model checking and debugging; and rewrite engines.
