Course at the International School on Rewriting ISR 2015

Rewriting Techniques for
Correctness of Program Transformations

August 12-14, Leipzig, Germany

Summary
The course gives an introduction to program transformations, their correctness and rewriting techniques to reason about the correctness. The course focuses on small-step operational semantics of functional programming languages which can be seen as higher-order rewriting with a fixed strategy. On top of the operational semantics contextual equivalence is used as the main notion of program semantics and correctness of program transformations. The course also treats non-deterministic and concurrent extensions of functional programming languages and adaptions of the contextual semantics.
