IMPORTANT DATES: Abstract: February 4, 2008 Paper Submission: February 11, 2008 Notification: April 4, 2008 Final version: April 25, 2008 RTA is the major forum for the presentation of research on all aspects of rewriting. Typical areas of interest include (but are not limited to): * Applications: case studies; analysis of cryptographic protocols; rule-based (functional and logic) programming; symbolic and algebraic computation; theorem proving; system synthesis and verification; proof checking; reasoning about programming languages and logics; program transformation; * Foundations: matching and unification; narrowing; completion techniques; strategies; rewriting calculi, constraint solving; tree automata; termination; combination; * Frameworks: string, term, and graph rewriting; lambda-calculus and higher-order rewriting; constrained rewriting/deduction; categorical and infinitary rewriting; integration of decision procedures; * Implementation: implementation techniques; parallel execution; rewrite tools; termination checking; * Semantics: equational logic; rewriting logic; rewriting models of programs. BEST PAPER AWARD: An award is given to the best paper or papers as decided by the program committee. STUDENT SUPPORT: Limited student support will be available and announced in future versions of this call.
