=====================================================================

Confluence provides a general notion of determinism and is widely viewed
as one of the central properties of rewriting. Confluence relates to many
topics of rewriting (completion, modularity, termination, commutation, etc.)
and had 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 support,
certification as well as new applications.  The International Workshop on
Confluence (IWC) aims at promoting further research in confluence and 
related properties. IWC 2016 is part of the Computational Logic in the Alps
event to be held in Obergurgl, Austria, during the week Sep 4-10, 2016.
Previous editions of the workshop were held in Nagoya (2012), Eindhoven 
(2013), Vienna (2014), and Berlin (2015).
During the workshop, the 5th Confluence Competition (CoCo 2016) takes place.
