Thema:

Categorical Rewriting

 

 

Zusammenfassung:

Term rewriting systems (TRSs) are widely used throughout computer science as they provide an abstract model of computation while retaining a relatively simple and concrete syntax. I have been involved in an effort to develop a categorical semantics for term rewriting at an intermediate level of abstraction between the syntax and the more traditional relational model. I will give an overview of the successes and failures of this research program and conclude by describing some promising recent advances we have made.
