We use the technique of [30].Transforming Prolog into the following Term Rewriting System:
Pi-finite rewrite system:
The TRS R consists of the following rules:

plus_in(s(X), Y, s(Z)) → U1(X, Y, Z, p_in(s(X), U))
p_in(s(X), X) → p_out(s(X), X)
U1(X, Y, Z, p_out(s(X), U)) → U2(X, Y, Z, U, plus_in(U, Y, Z))
plus_in(0, Y, Y) → plus_out(0, Y, Y)
U2(X, Y, Z, U, plus_out(U, Y, Z)) → plus_out(s(X), Y, s(Z))

The argument filtering Pi contains the following mapping:
plus_in(x1, x2, x3)  =  plus_in(x1)
s(x1)  =  s(x1)
U1(x1, x2, x3, x4)  =  U1(x4)
p_in(x1, x2)  =  p_in(x1)
p_out(x1, x2)  =  p_out(x2)
