TR08-02 (2008) – A Rewrite Stack Machine for ROC!

G. Caltais, E.-I. Goriac, D. Lucanu, G. Grigoras

ROC! is a deterministic rewrite strategy language which includes the rewriterules as basic operators, and the deterministic choice and the repetitionas high-level strategy operators. In this paper we present a method which,for a given term rewriting system (TRS) R, constructs a new TRS R’ such thatR’-rewriting is equivalent (sound and complete) with R-rewriting constrained byROC!. Since R’ uses a stack, it is called a rewrite stack machine.
