29 Jun - 1 Jul 2015
Warsaw, Poland

==================================================================
               RTA 2015 - CALL FOR PAPERS
            26th International Conference on
         REWRITING TECHNIQUES AND APPLICATIONS
         29 June - 1 July, 2015, Warsaw, Poland
       co-located with TLCA, as part of RDP 2015
            http://rdp15.mimuw.edu.pl/
==================================================================

RTA is the major forum for the presentation of research on all
aspects of rewriting.  Topics of interest include:

* Foundations: string, term, net and graph rewriting; higher-order
rewriting; binding techniques; constrained rewriting and deduction;
categorical and infinitary rewriting; stochastic rewriting;
higher-dimensional rewriting; tree automata; confluence;
termination; complexity; modularity; equational logic;
universal algebra; rewriting logic; rewriting calculi.

* Algorithmic aspects and implementation: strategies; matching;
unification; anti-unification; narrowing; completion; parallel
execution; certification of rewriting properties; abstract machines;
automated (non)termination and confluence provers; automated
complexity analysis; system descriptions.

* Applications of rewriting: programming languages (functional,
logic, object-oriented and other programming paradigms); type
systems; program analysis, transformation and optimisation;
rewriting models of programs; semantics; process calculi;
functional calculi; explicit substitution; constraint solving;
symbolic and algebraic computation; theorem proving;
proof checking; system modelling; system synthesis and
verification; XML queries and transformations; planning;
cryptographic protocols; security policies;  systems biology;
linguistics; rewriting in education.

Important Dates:
# Submission: title and abstract: 30 January 2015
               full paper: 6 February 2015
# Rebuttal period: 19-21 March 2015
# Notification:    8 April 2015
# Final version:  25 April 2015

Submission and publication:
The RTA 2015 proceedings will be published by LIPIcs (Leibniz
International Proceedings in Informatics). Papers should present
original work, and should be submitted via Easychair:
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=rta2015
Papers should be at most 15 pages (10 for system descriptions)
in the style described in:
http://drops.dagstuhl.de/styles/lipics/lipics-authors.tgz
This year we particularly welcome submissions on applications of
rewriting. Application papers are regular papers (15 pages); their
originality is judged based on the novelty of the application or the
depth of the rewriting methods applied.
System description papers present new software tools in which
rewriting plays an important role, or significantly new versions
of such tools. The paper should also include an evaluation of the
tool.
