We investigate termination of Generalized Term Rewriting Systems (GTRS), which extend Conditional Term Rewriting Systems by considering replacement restrictions on selected arguments of function symbols, as in Context-Sensitive Rewriting, and conditional rewriting rules whose conditional part may include not only a mix of the usual (reachability, joinability,...) conditions, but also atoms defined by a set of definite Horn clauses. GTRS can be used to prove confluence and termination of Generalized Rewrite Theories and Maude programs. We have characterized confluence of terminating GTRS as the joinability of a finite set of conditional pairs. Since termination of GTRS is underexplored to date, this paper introduces a Dependency Pair Framework which is well-suited to automatically (dis)prove termination of GTRS.
