IMPORTANT DATES: Abstract: Jan 04, 2012 Paper Submission: Jan 09, 2012 Notification: Mar 02, 2012 Final version: Mar 26, 2012 RTA 2012 seeks original submissions on all aspects of rewriting. Typical areas of interest include (but are not limited to): * Applications: case studies; analysis of cryptographic protocols; rule-based (functional and logic) programming; symbolic and algebraic computation; SMT solving; theorem proving; system synthesis and verification; proof checking; reasoning about programming languages and logics; program transformation; XML queries and transformations; systems biology; * Foundations: equational logic; rewriting logic; rewriting models of programs; matching and unification; narrowing; completion techniques; strategies; rewriting calculi; constraint solving; tree automata; termination; complexity; combination; * Frameworks: string, term, and graph rewriting; lambda-calculus and higher-order rewriting; constrained rewriting/deduction; categorical and infinitary rewriting; stochastic rewriting; net rewriting; binding techniques; Petri nets; * Implementation: implementation techniques; parallel execution; rewrite and completion tools; confluence and termination checking; certification of rewriting properties; abstract machines; explicit substitutions; BEST PAPER AWARD: An award is given to the best paper or papers as decided by the program committee. STUDENT SUPPORT: Limited student support will be available and announced in future versions of this call.

LIPIcs is open access, meaning that publications will be available online and free of charge, and authors keep the copyright for their papers. LIPIcs publications are indexed in DBLP. STACS, FSTTCS and ICLP proceedings also appear in LIPIcs. See http://www.dagstuhl.de/lipics for more information about LIPIcs. Accepted papers will be considered for publication in a special issue of the journal Logical Methods in Computer Science (LMCS). SUBMISSIONS: Submissions must be original and not submitted for publication elsewhere. Submission categories include regular research papers, applications of rewriting techniques, problem sets, and system descriptions. The page limit for submissions is 10 proceedings pages for system descriptions and 15 proceedings pages for all other categories. Additional material may be provided in an appendix which is not subject to the page limit. However, submissions must be self-contained within the respective page limit; reading the appendix should not be necessary to assess the merits of a submission. Submissions are accepted in either Postscript or PDF format. LaTeX template for LIPIcs is available at: http://drops.dagstuhl.de/styles/lipics/lipics-authors.tgz LaTeX template specialized for RTA 2012 is available at: http://www.csl.sri.com/users/tiwari/lipics-authors-rta2012.tgz Authors can use either one for preparing their submission. Abstracts and papers must be submitted electronically through the EasyChair system at: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=rta2012 Questions concerning submissions may be addressed to the PC chair, Ashish Tiwari by emailing ashish_dot_tiwari_at_sri_dot_com [For admin and other information see: http://www.mta.ca/~cat-dist/ ]
