The 8th International Workshop on Confluence (IWC 2019) aims at 
promoting further research in confluence and related properties. 
Confluence provides a general notion of determinism and has always been 
conceived as one of the central properties of rewriting. Recently there 
is a renewed interest in confluence research, resulting in new 
techniques, tool support, certification as well as new applications. The 
workshop aims at promoting further research in confluence and related 
properties.

Confluence relates to many topics of rewriting (completion, modularity, 
termination, commutation, etc.) and has been investigated in many 
formalisms of rewriting such as first-order rewriting, lambda-calculi, 
higher-order rewriting, constrained rewriting, conditional rewriting, 
etc. Recently there is a renewed interest in confluence research, 
resulting in new techniques, tool supports, certification as well as new 
applications.

TOPICS:

* confluence and related properties (unique normal forms, commutation, 
ground confluence)
* completion
* critical pair criteria
* decidability issues
* complexity issues
* system descriptions
* certification
* applications of confluence

The objective of this workshop is to bring together theoreticians and 
practitioners to promote new techniques and results, and to facilitate 
feedback on the implementation and application of such techniques and 
results in practice. IWC 2019 also aims to be a forum for presenting and 
discussing work in progress, and therefore to provide feedback to 
authors on their preliminary research.

IWC 2019 is a satellite workshop of Formal Structures for Computation 
and Deduction (FSCD'19) in Dortmund. Previous editions took place in 
Oxford (2018 and 2017), Obergurgl (2016), Berlin (2015), Vienna (2014), 
Eindhoven (2013) and Nagoya (2012).
More information about the workshop can be found in the home page of IWC.

SUBMISSIONS

We solicit short papers or extended abstracts of at most five 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 may provide additional 
feedback. The accepted papers will be made available electronically 
before the workshop. The page limit for papers is 5 pages in EasyChair 
style. Short papers or extended abstracts must be submitted 
electronically through the EasyChair system at:
