Conf. on Rewriting Techniques and Applications (RTA'04) will be part of the Federated Conference on Rewriting, Deduction and Programming (RDP'04). IMPORTANT DATES: Jan 15 2004: Deadline electronic submission of title+short abstract Jan 22 2004: Deadline electronic submission of papers Mar 14 2004: Notification of acceptance of papers Apr 4 2004: Deadline for final versions of accepted papers Jun 3-5 2004: Conference. RTA is the major forum for the presentation of research on all aspects of rewriting. Typical areas of interest include (but are not limited to): * APPLICATIONS: case studies; rule-based (functional and logic) programming; symbolic and algebraic computation; theorem proving; system synthesis and verification; proof checking. * FOUNDATIONS: matching and unification; narrowing; completion techniques; strategies; constraint solving; explicit substitutions; tree automata. * FRAMEWORKS: string, term, and graph rewriting; lambda-calculus and higher-order rewriting; proof nets; constrained rewriting/deduction; categorical and infinitary rewriting. * IMPLEMENTATION: compilation techniques; parallel execution; rewriting tools. * SEMANTICS: equational logic; rewriting logic. INVITED TALKS will be given at RTA'04 by: * Neil Jones (Copenhagen) * Aart Middeldorp (Innsbruck) * Robin Milner (Cambridge) BEST PAPER AWARDS: A 1000 Euro award wil be given to the best paper or papers as decided by the PC. The award may also totally or partially go to the best paper with a student as main author, according to the submission letter.
