                      RTA 2002 - Call for Papers



The 13th International Conference on Rewriting Techniques and Applicati=
ons
RTA'02 will take place from July 22, 2002 to July 24, 2002 in Copenhage=
n,
Denmark, as part of the Federated Logic Conference FLoC'02.


Topics

RTA is the major forum for the presentation of research on all aspects =
of
rewriting. Typical areas include (but are not limited to):

   * Applications: case studies; rule-based programming; symbolic and
     algebraic computation; theorem proving; functional and logic
     programming; proof checking.
   * Foundations: matching and unification; completion techniques;
     strategies; constraint solving; explicit substitutions.
   * Frameworks: string, term, and graph rewriting; lambda-calculus and=

     higher-order rewriting; conditional rewriting; proof nets; constra=
ined
     rewriting and deduction; categorical and infinitary rewriting.
   * Implementation: compilation techniques; parallel execution; rewrit=
ing
     tools.
   * Semantics: equational logic; rewriting logic.


Best Paper Award

A prize of 500 EUR will be given to the best paper as judged by the pro=
gram
committee. The program committee may decline to make the award or may s=
plit
it among several papers.


Submissions

Submissions must be original and not submitted for publication elsewher=
e.
Submissions should fall into one of the following categories:

1. Regular research papers describing new results; they will be judged =
on
correctness and significance.

2. Papers describing the experience of applying rewriting techniques in=

other areas; they will be judged on relevance and comparison with other=

approaches.

3. Problem sets that provide realistic and interesting challenges in th=
e
field of rewriting.

4. System descriptions; they should contain a link to a working system =
and
will be judged on usefulness and design.

All submissions will be judged on originality. Submissions in the first=

three categories can be up to 15 proceedings pages long, system descrip=
tions
4 proceedings pages. Authors are strongly encouraged to use LaTeX2e and=
 the
Springer llncs class file, available at
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html. The title page should in=
clude
the submission category. Proofs of theorems should be provided in the p=
aper,
or, if space does not permit, should be made accessible otherwise (e.g.=
, as
an appendix to the submission or via the Web). Submission is by email: =
Send
a self-contained postscript file to

                              <rta2002@lifl.fr>


Proceedings

Accepted papers will be published in the proceedings of the symposium
(Lecture Notes in Computer Science, Springer-Verlag). Simultaneous
submission to other conferences with published proceedings is not allow=
ed.
