Eindhoven, The Netherlands

First Call for Participation

9th INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL ON REWRITING (ISR 2017)

July 3-7, 2017, Eindhoven, The Netherlands
http://www.win.tue.nl/~hzantema/isr.html

Early registration deadline: May 15, 2017

The 9th International School on Rewriting (ISR 2017) is aimed at master
and PhD students, researchers, and practitioners interested in the study
of rewriting concepts and their applications.

The school features lectures by renowned researchers in rewriting, and is
organized in two parallel tracks: the Basic Track and the Advanced Track.

The BASIC TRACK is intended for students who enter the field.
The basic track can, if desired, be round off with an examination of 3EC.
The teachers of the Basic Track are

    Aart Middeldorp (University of Innsbruck)
    Sarah Winkler (University of Innsbruck)

The ADVANCED TRACK consists of eight shorter courses, showing different
areas of rewriting research and applications. The teachers and courses of
the Advanced Track are:

   Beniamino Accatoli (INRIA)
   The Complexity of Beta-Reduction

   Carsten Fuhs (University of London)
   Proving Program Termination via Term Rewriting

   Thomas Genet (IRISA, France)
   Tree Automata for Reachability in Rewriting

   Philippe Malbos (University of Lyon), and
   Samuel Mimram (Ecole Polytechnique)
   Two-dimensional Rewriting Techniques and Applications

   Temur Kutsia (University of Linz)
   Solving Equational Problems: Matching and Unification

   Julian Nagele (University of Innsbruck), and
   Vincent van Oostrom (University of Innsbruck)
   Commutation

   Christian Sternagel (University of Innsbruck), and
   René Thiemann (University of Innsbruck)
   Formalizing Rewriting in Isabelle

   Johannes Waldmann (RWTH Leipzig)
   Weighted Automata and Rewriting

There will be the opportunity for participants to present their own research.

====================================================================
International Schools on Rewriting are promoted
by the IFIP Working Group 1.6 Term Rewriting.

Rewriting is a branch of computer science whose origins go back
to the origins of computer science itself (with Thue, Church, Post,
and many other prominent researchers). It has strong links with
mathematics, algebra, and logic, and it is the basis of well-known
programming paradigms like functional and equational programming.
In these programming paradigms and corresponding languages, the notions
of reduction, pattern matching, confluence, termination, strategy,
etc., are essential. Rewriting provides a solid framework for
understanding, using, and teaching all these notions. Rewriting
techniques are also used in many other areas of software engineering
(scripting, prototyping, automated transformation of legacy systems,
refactoring, web services, etc.) Rewriting techniques play a relevant
role in computing research, education, and industry.
