RDP 2013 will be held at the Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands. *** INVITED SPEAKERS *** - Simon Peyton-Jones (Microsoft Research, UK) joint invited speaker for TLCA+RTA 2013 - Jarkko Kari (University of Turku, Finland) invited speaker for RTA 2013 - Mitsu Okada (Keio University, Japan) invited speaker for RTA 2013 *** TOPICS OF INTEREST *** 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; 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; homotopy theory; implicit computational complexity; Foundations: equational logic; universal algebra; rewriting logic; rewriting models of programs; matching and unification; narrowing; completion techniques; strategies; rewriting calculi; constraint solving; tree automata; termination; complexity; modularity; 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; higher-dimensional rewriting; Implementation: implementation techniques; parallel execution; rewrite and completion tools; certification of rewriting properties; abstract machines; explicit substitutions; automated (non)termination and confluence provers; automated complexity analysis. *** PUBLICATION *** The proceedings will be published by LIPIcs (Leibniz International Proceedings in Informatics). 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. For more information about LIPIcs please consult: <http://www.dagstuhl.de/en/publications/lipics> Also, authors of selected papers will be invited to submit an extension of their RTA 2013 paper to a special issue of Logical Methods in Computer Science (LMCS) <http://www.lmcs-online.org/index.php>. *** SUBMISSION GUIDELINES *** Submissions must be - original and not submitted for publication elsewhere, - written in English, - a research paper, or a problem set, or a system description, - in pdf prepared with pdflatex using the LIPIcs stylefile: <http://drops.dagstuhl.de/styles/lipics/lipics-authors.tgz>, - at most 10 pages for system description, at most 15 pages for the other two types of submissions - submitted electronically through the EasyChair system at: <https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=rta2013>. The page limit and the deadline for submission are strict. Additional material for instance proof details, may be given 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. *** PROGRAMME COMMITTEE CHAIR *** Femke van Raamsdonk (VU University Amsterdam, The Netherlands) *** PROGRAMME COMMITTEE *** Eduardo Bonelli National University of Quilmes, Argentina Byron Cook Microsoft Research Cambridge, UK Stephanie Delaune ENS Cachan, France Gilles Dowek Inria Paris-Rocquencourt, France Maribel Fernandez King's College London, UK Nao Hirokawa JAIST Ishikawa, Japan Delia Kesner University Paris-Diderot, France Helene Kirchner Inria Paris-Rocquencourt, France Barbara Koenig University Duisburg Essen, Germany Temur Kutsia Johannes Kepler University Linz, Austria Aart Middeldorp University of Innsbruck, Austria Vincent van Oostrom Utrecht University, The Netherlands Femke van Raamsdonk VU University Amsterdam, The Netherlands Kristoffer Rose IBM Research New York, USA Manfred Schmidt-Schauss Goethe University Frankfurt, Germany Peter Selinger Dalhousie University, Canada Paula Severi University of Leicester, UK Aaron Stump The University of Iowa, USA Tarmo Uustalu Institute of Cybernetics Tallinn, Estonia Roel de Vrijer VU University Amsterdam, The Netherlands Johannes Waldmann HTWK Leipzig, Germany Hans Zantema Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands *** CONFERENCE CHAIR *** Hans Zantema (Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands) *** STEERING COMMITTEE *** Mauricio Ayala-Rincon Brasilia University, Brasilia Frederic Blanqui INRIA Tsinghua University Beijing, China Salvador Lucas Technical University of Valencia, Spain Georg Moser (chair) University of Innsbruck, Austria Masahiko Sakai Nagoya University, Japan Sophie Tison University of Lille, France *** FURTHER INFORMATION *** Questions related to submission, reviewing, and programme should be sent to the programme committee chair Femke van Raamsdonk, email femke at few.vu.nl.
