Summary: PREG Axiomatizer is a tool used for proving strong bisimilarity between ground terms consisting of operations in the GSOS format extended with predicates. It automatically derives sound and ground-complete axiomatizations using a technique proposed by the authors of this paper. These axiomatizations are provided as input to the Maude system, which, in turn, is used as a reduction engine for provided ground terms. These terms are bisimilar if and only if their normal forms obtained in this fashion are equal. The motivation of this tool is the optimized handling of equivalence checking between complex ground terms within automated provers and checkers.
