========================================================== Call for Papers UNIF 2015 The 29th International Workshop on Unification June 28, 2015. Warsaw, Poland http://rdp15.mimuw.edu.pl/index.php?site=unif ********* part of the Federated Conference on Rewriting, Deduction, and Programming (RDP'15) ========================================================== UNIF 2015 is the 29th event in a series of international meetings devoted to unification theory and its applications. Unification is concerned with the problem of identifying terms, finding solutions for equations, or making formulas equivalent. It is a fundamental process used in a number of fields of computer science, including automated reasoning, term rewriting, logic programming, natural language processing, program analysis, types, etc. The International Workshop on Unification (UNIF) is a yearly forum for researchers in unification theory and related fields to meet old and new colleagues, to present recent (even unfinished) work, and to discuss new ideas and trends. It is also a good opportunity for young researchers and scientists working in related areas to get an overview of the current state of the art in unification theory. Topics of Interest ------------------ A non-exhaustive list of topics of interest include: - Unification algorithms, calculi and implementations - Equational unification and unification modulo theories - Unification in modal, temporal and description logics - Admissibility of inference rules - Narrowing - Matching algorithms - Constraint solving - Combination problems - Disunification - Higher-Order unification - Type checking and reconstruction - Typed unification - Complexity issues - Query answering - Implementation techniques - Applications of unification - Antiunification/Generalization Submission ---------- Following the tradition of UNIF, we call for submissions of abstracts (5 pages) in EasyChair style, to be submitted electronically as PDF files through the EasyChair submission site: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=unif2015 Abstracts will be evaluated by the Programme Committee (if necessary with support from external reviewers) regarding their significance for the workshop. Accepted abstracts will be presented at the workshop and included in the informal proceedings of the workshop, available in printed form at the workshop and in electronic form from the UNIF homepage: http://www.pps.jussieu.fr/~treinen/unif/ Based on the number and quality of submissions we will decide whether to organize a special journal issue.
