Summary:Abstract: "We discuss the application of term rewriting analysis to theories of communicating concurrent systems. Turning such a theory into a canonical term rewriting system yields decidability and is essential for implementation. We do this for the theory ACP with a silent step in the setting of branching bisimulation. It is necessary to consider rewriting modulo equalities. The article has the following structure: After the introduction and a list of definitions, we consider in section 3 Knuth-Bendix completion. In section 4, we consider a Peterson-Stickel complete term rewriting system which has the same term algebra as the fragment of ACP[superscript tau] it corresponds with. In section 5, we prove termination of this rewrite system."
