Call for Participation ISR 2012 6th International School on Rewriting http://www.dsic.upv.es/~isr2012 July 16th - 20th Universitat Politecnica de Valencia Valencia, Spain Rewriting is a branch of computer science whose origins go back to the origins of computer science itself (with Thue, Church, Post, and many other prominent researchers). It has strong links with mathematics, algebra, and logic, and it is the basis of well-known programming paradigms like functional and equational programming, which are taught at the universitary level in many countries. In these programming paradigms and corresponding languages, the notions of reduction, pattern matching, confluence, termination, strategy, etc., are essential. Rewriting provides a solid framework for understanding, using, and teaching all these notions. Rewriting techniques are also used in many other areas of software engineering (scripting, prototyping, automated transformation of legacy systems, refactoring, web services, etc.) and are implemented in popular systems like Mathematica, Autocad, and others. Rewriting techniques play a relevant role in computing research, education, and industry. The International School on Rewriting is promoted by the IFIP Working Group 1.6 Term Rewriting. The school is aimed at master and PhD students, researchers, and practitioners interested in the study of rewriting concepts and their applications. Two tracks are offered, including the lectures and the courses: - Track A: for newcomers in the field, or just for people who want to obtain a new, updated exposure. * Jose Meseguer. Introduction to Term Rewriting * Albert Rubio. Termination of Rewriting: Foundations and Automation * Santiago Escobar. A Rewriting-Based Specification and Programming Language: Maude * Beatriz Alarcon & Raul Gutierrez. Exercises on Term Rewriting - Track B: for those who want to get deeper in the most recent developments and applications of rewriting. * Maria Alpuente: Narrowing Techniques and Applications * Temur Kutsia: Matching, unification, and generalizations * Pierre Lescanne: Lambda Calculus: extensions and applications * Narciso Marti-Oliet: Rewriting Logic and Applications * Georg Moser: Automated Complexity Analysis of Term Rewriting Systems * Albert Oliveras: SAT and SMT techniques in Proof and Verification * Sophie Tison: Tree Automata, Turing Machines and Term Rewriting * Xavier Urbain: Certification of Rewriting Properties * Andrei Voronkov: Automated Reasoning and Theorem Proving Registration fees: 250 euro (early registration, before June 15, 2012) 350 euro (late registration, after June 15, 2012) Visit our web site for more information about registration and accommodation. The registration will be open in few weeks.
