===================================================================== Call for papers 6th International Workshop on Higher-Order Rewriting HOR 2012 June 2, 2012, Nagoya, Japan Colocated with RTA'12 http://www.cs.gunma-u.ac.jp/events/hor/ ====================================================================== HOR is a forum to present work concerning all aspects of higher-order rewriting. The aim is to provide an informal and friendly setting to discuss recent work and work in progress concerning higher-order rewriting. The following is a non-exhaustive list of topics for the workshop: * Applications: proof checking, type checking, theorem proving, functional programming, declarative programming, program transformation, using some notions of higher-order rewriting. * Foundations: pattern matching, unification, strategies, termination, syntactic properties, type theory, for higher-order rewriting. * Frameworks: graph rewriting, net rewriting, comparisons of different formats. * Implementation: explicit substitution, rewriting tools, compilation techniques. * Semantics: semantics of higher-order rewriting, higher-order abstract syntax, categorical rewriting. Important dates --------------- Paper submission: ** EXTENDED: March 26, 2012 ** Notification: April 20, 2012 Final version: May 10, 2012 Workshop: June 2, 2012 Invited speakers ---------------- * Zhenjiang Hu (National Institute of Informatics, Japan) Can Graph Transformation be Bidirectionalized? -- Bidirectional Semantics of Structural Recursion on Graphs -- * Another speaker to be annouced Submissions ----------- Two categories of papers are solicited: - Category A: Extended abstracts of new results, describing work in progress, or problems in higher-order rewriting. - Category B: Short versions of recently published or submitted elsewhere articles on higher-order rewriting. Papers in this category are for presentation only, and not considered as candidates for the post-workshop proceedings. Papers in both categories should be between 2 and 5 pages, and should note the category (either A or B). Papers are formatted according to EPTCS style, and submitted electronically via the EasyChair submission website. Papers will be judged on relevance, originality, correctness and usefulness. Please address your questions to the PC chair: hamana at cs.gunma-u.ac.jp. Proceedings ----------- The proceedings of HOR 2012 will be made available on the HOR 2012 web page, and a printed version will be distributed at the workshop. Post-workshop proceedings of extended abstracts of selected contributions is planned to be published as a volume of EPTCS.
