[ The Types Forum (announcements only),
http://lists.seas.upenn.edu/mailman/listinfo/types-announce ]
An ETAPS 2018 satellite event
Thessaloniki, Greece
April 14-15 2018
Submission deadline: January 5, 2018
AIMS AND SCOPE
Rewriting is a natural model of computation and an expressive semantic
framework for concurrency, parallelism,
communication, and interaction. It can be used for specifying a wide
range of systems and languages in various application
domains. It also has good properties as a metalogical framework for
representing logics. Several successful languages based
on rewriting (ASF+SDF, CafeOBJ, ELAN,Maude) have been designed and
implemented.The aim of WRLA is to bring together
researchers with a common interest in rewriting and its applications,
and to give them the opportunity to present their recent
work, discuss future research directions, and exchange ideas.
The topics of the workshop include, but are not limited to:
A. Foundations
foundations and models of rewriting and rewriting logic, including
termination, confluence, coherence and complexity
unification, generalization, narrowing, and partial evaluation
constrained rewriting and symbolic algebra
graph rewriting
tree automata
rewriting strategies
rewriting-based calculi and explicit substitution
B. Rewriting as a Logical and Semantic Framework
uses of rewriting and rewriting logic as a logical framework,
including deduction modulo
uses of rewriting as a semantic framework for programming language
semantics
rewriting semantics of concurrency models, distributed systems, and
network protocols
rewriting semantics of real-time, hybrid, and probabilistic systems
uses of rewriting for compilation and language transformation
C. Rewriting Languages
rewriting-based declarative languages
type systems for rewriting
implementation techniques
tools supporting rewriting langages
D. Verification Techniques
verification of confluence, termination, coherence, sufficient
completeness, and related properties
temporal, modal and reachability logics for verifying dynamic
properties of rewrite theories
explicit-state and symbolic model checking techniques for
verification of rewrite theories
rewriting-based theorem proving, including (co)inductive theorem
proving
rewriting-based constraint solving and satisfiability
rewriting-semantics-based verification and analysis of programs
E. Applications
applications in logic, mathematics, physics, and biology
rewriting models of biology, chemistry, and membrane systems
security specification and verification
applications to distributed, network, mobile, and cloud computing
specification and verification of real-time, hybrid, probabilistic,
and cyber-physical systems
specification and verification of critical systems
applications to model-based software engineering
applications to engineering and planning.
INVITED SPEAKERS
(to be defined)
SUBMISSION
The final program of the workshop will include regular papers, tool
papers, and work-in-progress presentations. The program
will also contain invited talks, invited papers, and tutorials to be
determined by the program committee.
Regular papers must contain original contributions, be clearly written,
include appropriate references, and comparison with
related work. They must be unpublished and not submitted simultaneously
for publication elsewhere.
Tool papers have to present a new tool, a new tool component, or novel
extensions to an existing tool. They should provide a
short description of the theoretical foundations with relevant
citations, emphasize the design and implementation, and give a
clear account of the tool’s functionality. The described tools must be
publicly available via the web.
Work-in-progress papers present early-stage work or other types of
innovative or thought-provoking work related to the topics
of the workshop. The difference between work-in-progress and regular
papers is that work-in-progress submissions represent
work that has not reached yet a level of completion that would warrant
the full refereed selection process. We encourage
researchers and practitioners to submit work-in-progress papers as this
provides a unique opportunity for sharing valuable
ideas, eliciting useful feedback on ongoing work, and fostering
discussions and collaborations among colleagues.
All submissions should be formatted according to the guidelines for
Springer LNCS papers, and should be submitted
electronically using EasyChair. Papers should be submitted
electronically as a PDF file via the Easychair system at
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wrla2018
Regular and work-in-progress papers should not exceed 15 pages including
references. Tool papers can have a maximum of 6
pages including references and may have an appendix of up to 4
additional pages with usage details and tool demonstration.
PUBLICATION
All submissions will be evaluated by the program committee. Regular
papers, tool papers, and work-in-progress papers that
are accepted will be presented at the workshop and included in the
pre-proceedings, which will be available during the
workshop. Following the tradition of the last editions, the regular
papers, tool papers, and invited presentations will be
published as a volume in Springer’s Lecture Notes in Computer Science
(LNCS) series to be distributed after the workshop.
A special issue of the Journal of Logical and Algebraic Methods in
Programming (JLAMP) will be devoted to extended versions
of selected papers from WRLA 2018.
