Previous editions of the TERMGRAPH workshops series (http://www.termgraph.org.uk/) took place in Barcelona (2002), in Rome (2004), in Vienna (2006), in Braga (2007) and in York (2009). Aims and scope Research in term and graph rewriting ranges from theoretical questions to practical issues. Computing with graphs handles the sharing of common subexpressions in a natural and seamless way, and improves the efficiency of computations in space and time. Sharing is ubiquitous in several research areas, for instance : the modelling of first- and higher-order term rewriting by (acyclic or cyclic) graph rewriting, the modelling of biological or chemical abstract machines, the implementation techniques of programming languages: many implementations of functional, logic, object-oriented, concurrent and mobile calculi are based on term graphs. Term graphs are also used in automated theorem proving and symbolic computation systems working on shared structures. The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers working in different domains on term and graph transformation and to foster their interaction, to provide a forum for presenting new ideas and work in progress, and to enable newcomers to learn about current activities in term graph rewriting. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Topics of Interest Topics of interest are open and include all aspects of term graphs and sharing of common subexpressions in rewriting, programming, automated reasoning and symbolic computation. This includes (but is not limited to): term rewriting, graph transformation, programming languages, models of computation, graph-based languages, semantics and implementation of programming languages, compiler construction, pattern recognition, databases, bioinformatics, and system descriptions. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Submissions and Publication Authors are invited to submit either regular papers (up to 15 pages), or position papers, system descriptions, work in progress, extended abstracts (5-7 pages), via the EasyChair system, at URL http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=termgraph2011 Submissions should be in PostScript or PDF format, using the EPTCS style files (http://style.eptcs.org/). Preliminary proceedings will be distributed at the workshop. Selected authors will be invited to submit a full version of their papers after the workshop. These submissions will pass through a second round of reviewing and accepted contributions are to be published as a special issue of the international journal Mathematical Structures in Computer Science (MSCS). -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Important Dates December 8, 2010 Abstract submission December 15, 2010 Paper submission January 16, 2011 Notification of acceptance February 4, 2011 Pre-proceedings version due -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Programme Committee Paolo Baldan, University of Padova, Italy Andrea Corradini, University of Pisa, Italy Frank Drewes, Umea University, Sweden Rachid Echahed (chair), CNRS, LIG Laboratory, France Tetsuo Ida, University of Tsukuba, Japan Wolfram Kahl, McMaster University, Canada Ian Mackie, Ecole Polytechnique, France Detlef Plump, University of York, UK -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contact Rachid Echahed, LIG Lab., Grenoble, France echahed@imag.fr --------------------------------------------------------------------------
