[We apologize if you have received multiple copies of this message] [Please disseminate] ======================================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS Third International Workshop on Rewriting Techniques for Program Transformations and Evaluation WPTE 2016 affiliated with FSCD 2016 23 June, 2016, Porto, Portugal http://project.inria.fr/wpte2016/ ======================================================================================== Aims and Scope ============== The aim of WPTE is to bring together the researchers working on program transformations, evaluation, and operationally-based programming language semantics, using rewriting methods, in order to share the techniques and recent developments and to exchange ideas to encourage further activation of research in this area. The previous WPTE were held in Vienna 2014, and Warsaw in 2015. Topics of interest in the scope of this workshop include: * Correctness of program transformations, optimizations and translations. * Program transformations for proving termination, confluence and other properties. * Correctness of evaluation strategies. * Operational semantics of programs, operationally-based program equivalences such as contextual equivalences and bisimulations. * Cost-models for reasoning about the optimizing power of transformations and the costs of evaluation. * Program transformations for verification and theorem proving purposes. * Translation, simulation, equivalence of programs with different formalisms, and evaluation strategies. * Program transformations for applying rewriting techniques to programs in specific programming languages. * Program transformations for program inversions and program synthesis. * Program transformation and evaluation for Haskell and Rewriting. The programming languages of interest include pure, deterministic, impure, nondeterministic, concurrent, parallel languages, and may employ programming paradigms such as functional, logical, typed, imperative, object-oriented, and higher-order. Proceedings =========== The WPTE post-proceedings will be published in in Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science (http://eptcs.org/). Extended abstracts of work in progress are not included in the EPTCS proceedings but they will be included in the USB memory which is distributed to the FSCD participants. Paper Submissions ================= WPTE accepts two different kinds of contributions: * Full-papers: ------------ Full-papers must represent original work and should not be submitted to another conference at the same time. Full-papers should not exceed 15 pages. Accepted papers will be included in the formal proceedings after revision. * Work in progress: ----------------- There will also be a slot for presenting work in progress. An extended abstract of at most 10 pages is required to be submitted. These contributions will not be included in the formal proceedings for full-papers but they will be distributed to the workshop participants. One author of each accepted paper or abstract is expected to present it at the workshop. Submissions must be prepared in LaTeX using the EPTCS macro package (http://style.eptcs.org/). Important Dates =============== * Submission deadline: April 22nd, 2016 * Notification of acceptance: May 13th, 2016 * Deadline for camera-ready proceedings: May 27th, 2016 * Workshop: June 23rd, 2016 Weblinks ======== * EasyChair Submission Website https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wpte2016 * Homepage of WPTE 2016 http://project.inria.fr/wpte2016 * FSCD 2016 http://fscd2016.dcc.fc.up.pt/ Program Committee ================= Takahito Aoto (Niigata University) Yuki Chiba (JAIST) Horatiu Cirstea (LORIA, Université de Lorraine, France) - chair Fer-Jan de Vries (University of Leicester) Santiago Escobar (Universitat Politècnica de València) - chair Maribel Fernández (King's College London) Johan Jeuring (Open Universiteit Nederland and Universiteit Utrecht) Delia Kesner (Université Paris-Diderot) Sergueï Lenglet (Université de Lorraine) Elena Machkasova (University of Minnesota, Morris) William Mansky (University of Pennsylvania) Georg Moser (University of Innsbruck) Joachim Niehren (INRIA Lille) Naoki Nishida (Nagoya University) Kristoffer H Rose (Two Sigma Investments, LLC) David Sabel (Goethe-University Frankfurt am Main) Masahiko Sakai (Nagoya University) Manfred Schmidt-Schauß (Goethe-University Frankfurt am Main) Janis Voigtländer (University of Bonn) Johannes Waldmann (HTWK Leipzig)
