Termination certificate verification

Termination is an important property to verify, especially in critical applications. Automated termination provers use more and more complex theoretical results and external tools (e.g. sophisticated SAT solvers) that make their results not fully trustable and very difficult to check. To overcome this problem, a language for termination certificates, called CPF, has been developed since several years now. Deducteam develops a formally certified tool, Rainbow, based on the Coq library CoLoR, that is able to automatically verify the correctness of such termination certificates.
