UNIF 2020: Unification, virtual, 29 Jun 2020 [now online]

====================================================

                Second Call for Papers
                      UNIF 2020
     The 34th International Workshop on Unification
               http://unif2020.org/

====================================================

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the workshop will be held online along with 
online versions of IJCAR and FSCD.

UNIF 2020 is the 34th event in a series of international meetings devoted 
to unification theory and its applications. Unification is concerned with 
the problem of making two terms equal, finding solutions for equations or 
making formulas equivalent. It is a fundamental process used in a number 
of fields of computer science, including automated reasoning, term 
rewriting, logic programming, natural language processing, program 
analysis, types, etc. Traditionally, the scope of the UNIF workshops has 
covered the topic of unification in a broad sense. Topics of interest to 
this forum include, but are not limited to:

   - Unification algorithms, calculi and implementations
   - Equational unification and unification modulo theories
   - Admissibility of Inference Rules
   - Unification in modal, fuzzy, temporal and description logics
   - Anti-unification/generalization
   - Semi-unification
   - Narrowing
   - Formalization of unification
   - Matching Problems
   - Applications
   - Unification in Special Theories
   - Higher-Order Unification
   - Combination problems
   - Constraint Solving
   - Disunification
   - Complexity Issues
   - Type Checking and reconstruction

The International Workshop on Unification (UNIF) is a yearly forum for 
researchers in unification theory and related fields to meet old and new 
colleagues, to present recent (even unfinished) work, and to discuss new 
ideas and trends. It is also a good opportunity for young researchers and 
scientists working in related areas to get an overview of the state of the 
art in unification theory.

The 34th International Workshop on Unification is part of "Paris Nord 
Summer of LoVe 2020", a joint event on LOgic and VErification at 
Université Paris 13, made of Petri Nets 2020, IJCAR 2020, FSCD 2020, and 
over 20 satellite events. UNIF 2020 will be a satellite workshop of The 
International Joint Conference on Automated Reasoning (IJCAR 2020).

------------------------------------------
** Submission Instructions
-------------------------------------------

Following the tradition of UNIF, we call for submissions of abstracts (5 
pages) in EasyChair style, to be submitted electronically as PDF through 
the EasyChair submission site:


     https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=unif2020

Abstracts will be evaluated by the Programme Committee (if necessary with 
support from external reviewers) regarding their significance for the 
workshop. We will allow work presented/submitted in/to another conference.

Accepted abstracts will be presented at the workshop and included in the 
informal proceedings of the workshop, available in electronic form as a 
technical report in the RISC-Linz Report Series from the Research 
Institute for Symbolic Computation, Johannes Kepler University.

Based on the number and quality of submissions we will decide whether to 
organize a special journal issue.
