Haskell is an advanced purely-functional programming language.
Rewriting is the science of replacing equals by equals
and thus a very powerful method for dealing with equations.
There are strong connections between Haskell programming and rewriting.
Therefore, we announce a new workshop,
International Workshop on Haskell And Rewriting Techniques (HART 2013)
http://www.imn.htwk-leipzig.de/HART2013/
to be held on June 27, in conjunction with RDP 2013, in Eindhoven.
(RDP contains RTA, the main rewriting conference.)
We plan a half day of discussions, in an informal setting,
on how Haskell and rewriting techniques and theories
can cross-fertilize each other.
Topics of interest are, for example,
equational reasoning and other rewriting techniques
for program verification and analysis;
lambda calculi and type systems for functional programs
and higher order rewriting systems;
rewriting of type expressions in the type checker;
rewriting of programs by refactoring tools, optimizers, code generators;
execution of programs as a form of graph rewriting;
template Haskell, introducing a rewriting-like macro language
into the compilation process.
This list of topics is non-exclusive. If you have a contribution that
connects Haskell and rewriting, then submit. When in doubt, contact a
member of the PC.

Dates:
May 6: deadline for submissions
May 20: notification of acceptance
June 27: workshop
Submission and Proceedings:
Two categories of submissions are invited:
Extended abstracts. Presenting original research,
and also preliminary reports of work in progress.
Will be included in the proceedings.
Presentation-only papers. Describing work recently published
or submitted. Will not be included in the proceedings.
Papers should be at most 5 pages in length,
and should use the easychair.cls style.
Submission is handled through the EasyChair HART2013 page,
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hart2013
In line with the informal style of the workshop,
the reviewing of submissions will be light.
When accepting and scheduling presentations,
preference will be given to original research.
Proceedings will be made available electronically at the workshop.
