AIMS AND SCOPE
Rewriting logic (RL) is a natural model of computation and an expressive
semantic framework for concurrency, parallelism, communication and
interaction. It can be used for specifying a wide range of systems and
languages in various application fields. It also has good properties as a
metalogical framework for representing logics. In recent years, several
languages based on RL (ASF+SDF, CafeOBJ, ELAN, Maude) have been designed
and implemented. The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers
with a common interest in RL and its applications, and to give them the
opportunity to present their recent works, discuss future research
directions, and exchange ideas.
The topics of the workshop comprise, but are not limited to,
* foundations and models of RL;
* languages based on RL, including implementation issues;
* RL as a logical framework;
* RL as a semantic framework, including applications of RL to
- object-oriented systems,
- concurrent and/or parallel systems,
- interactive, distributed, open ended and mobile systems,
- specification of languages and systems;
* extensions of RL, including
- real-time and probabilistic extensions,
- tile logic,
- rewriting approaches to behavioral specifications;
* verification techniques for RL specifications, including
- equational and coherence methods, and
- verification of properties expressed in modal and temporal logics;
* comparisons of RL with existing formalisms having analogous aims,
including
- rho-calculus,
- structural operational semantics,
- concurrency calculi,
- dynamic algebras.

SUBMISSIONS
Submissions will be evaluated by the Program Committee for inclusion
in the proceedings, which will be available at the time of the workshop
and are expected to be published in the Elsevier ENTCS series.
Papers must contain original contributions, be clearly written, and
include appropriate reference to and comparison with related work.
They must be unpublished and not submitted simultaneously for publication
elsewhere. Papers (of at most 15 pages) should be submitted electronically,
preferably as PDF files, to the workshop email address
wrla2004@sip.ucm.es
providing also a text-only abstract, and detailed contact information
of the corresponding author.
The final program of the workshop will also include system demonstrations
and two invited presentations by
Gilles Dowek Ecole Polytechnique & INRIA, Palaiseau
Mario Rodriguez-Artalejo Universidad Complutense de Madrid
Based on the quality and interest of the accepted papers, the program
committee will study the possibility of preparing a special issue of a
scientific journal in the field.
