Conf. on Rewriting Techniques and Applications (RTA'03) will be part of the Federated Conf. on Rewriting, Deduction and Programming (RDP'03). IMPORTANT DATES: Jan 15 2003: Deadline electronic submission of title+short abstract Jan 22 2003: Deadline electronic submission of papers Mar 15 2003: Notification of acceptance of papers Apr 7 2003: Deadline for final versions of accepted papers Jun 9-11 '03: 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) 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. * 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'03 by: * David McAllester Toyota Technological Institute at Chicago Joint invited speaker with TLCA * Jean-Louis Giavitto Universit� d'Evry, France * Pat Lincoln SRI International 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.
