We extended the deadline until 12th July.
=========================================

                       CALL FOR PAPERS
   Second Workshop on Haskell And Rewriting Techniques (HART 2014)
           http://www.program-transformation.org/HART14/

To be held on September 5, co-located with ICFP 2014, the Haskell 
Symposium, etc., in Gothenburg.

Haskell is an advanced purely-functional programming language. Pure 
functional programming is programming with equations, often defined by 
pattern-matching. Rewriting is the science of replacing equals by equals 
and thus a very powerful method for dealing with equations, often 
constructor-based. There are strong connections between Haskell (or 
generally, pure functional) programming and rewriting. The purpose of 
the HART workshop is to foster those connections.

In addition to an invited talk by Oleg Kiselyov, we plan a half day of 
discussions, in an informal setting, on how Haskell (and related 
languages) and rewriting techniques and theories can cross-fertilize 
each other.

Topics of interest are, for example:
====================================

- equational reasoning and other rewriting techniques for program 
verification and analysis;
- lambda calculi and type systems for functional programs and 
higher-order rewrite systems;
- rewriting of type expressions in the type checker;
- rewriting of programs by refactoring tools, optimizers, code generators;
- execution of programs as a form of graph rewriting (terms with sharing);
- Template Haskell, generally introducing a rewriting-like macro 
language into the compilation process.

This list of topics is non-exclusive. If you have a contribution that 
connects Haskell and rewriting, then submit. Also, the workshop is 
deliberately open for discussion of rewriting-related aspects of 
languages like Agda, Clean, ...

When in doubt, please contact a member of the PC (see below).

Dates:
======

July 12: deadline (extended) for submissions
July 21: notification of acceptance
September 5: workshop

Submission and proceedings:
===========================

We solicit two types of submissions:

- Extended abstracts. Presenting original research, and also preliminary 
reports of work in progress. Will be included in the proceedings.

- Presentation-only papers. Describing work recently published or 
submitted. Only abstract will be included in the proceedings.

Papers should be at most 5 pages in length, and should use the 
easychair.cls style. Submission is electronically at 
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hart2014

In line with the informal style of the workshop, the reviewing of 
submissions will be light.

Proceedings will be made available electronically.
