IMPORTANT DATES: Jan 26, 2007: Deadline for electronic submission of title and abstract Jan 31, 2007: Deadline for electronic submission of papers Apr 02, 2007: Notification of acceptance of papers Apr 23, 2007: Deadline for final versions of accepted papers 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; rule-based (functional and logic) programmin= g; symbolic and algebraic computation; theorem proving; system synthesis an= d verification; analysis of cryptographic protocols; proof checking; reaso= ning about programming languages and logics; program transformation; * Foundations: matching and unification; narrowing; completion techniques; strategies; constraint solving; explicit substitutions; tree automata; termination; combination; * Frameworks: string, term, graph, and proof rewriting; lambda-calculus an= d higher-order rewriting; proof nets; constrained rewriting/deduction; categorical and infinitary rewriting; integration of decision procedures= ; * Implementation: compilation techniques; parallel execution; rewrite tool= s; termination checking; * Semantics: equational logic; rewriting logic; rewriting models of progra= ms. BEST PAPER AWARD: An award is given to the best paper or papers as decided = by the program committee.

Submission categories include regular research papers and system descriptio= ns. Problem sets and submissions describing interesting applications of rewriti= ng techniques are also welcome. The page limit for submissions is 15 pages in Springer LNCS style (10 pages for system descriptions). The submission Web page will be made available beginning of December. As usual, the proceeding= s of RTA'07 will be published in the Springer LNCS series. Please consult the RTA'07 conference Web page for further information: http://www.lsv.ens-cachan.fr/rdp07/rta.html
