Second Call for Papers
TERMGRAPH 2002
International Workshop on Term Graph Rewriting
Barcelona, Spain
7 October 2002
A satellite event of ICGT 2002
The First International Conference on Graph Transformation
(http://www.lsi.upc.es/icgt2002/)
=======================================================================
Background and Aims
-------------------
Term graph rewriting is concerned with the representation of
functional expressions as graphs and the evaluation of these
expressions by rule-based graph transformation. Using graphs
rather than strings or trees allows to share common subexpressions,
which improves the efficiency of computations in space and time.
Sharing is ubiquitous in implementations of functional and logic
programming languages, systems for automated reasoning, and
symbolic computation systems.
Research in term graph rewriting ranges from theoretical questions to
practical implementation issues. It includes such different lines as
the modelling of (finite or infinitary) first-order term rewriting by
(acyclic or cyclic) graph rewriting, rewrite rules on so-called
sharing graphs for Levy-optimal reduction in the lambda calculus,
rewrite calculi on cyclic higher-order term graphs for the semantics
and analysis of functional programs, graph reduction implementations
of functional programming languages, and automated reasoning and
symbolic computation systems working on shared structures.
The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers working
in these different domains and to foster their interaction, to
provide a forum for presenting new ideas and work in progress, and
to enable newcomers to learn about current activities in term graph
rewriting. TERMGRAPH 2002 will be a one-day satellite event of the
International Conference on Graph Transformation (ICGT 2002), which
will take place October 8-11, 2002, in Barcelona.
Topics of Interest
------------------
Topics of interest include all aspects of term graphs and sharing of
common subexpressions in rewriting, programming, automated reasoning
and symbolic computation. This includes (but is not limited to):
* Theory of first-order and higher-order term graph rewriting
* Graph rewriting in lambda calculus (sharing graphs, optimality)
* Applications in functional, logic and functional-logic programming
* Applications in automated reasoning and symbolic computation
* Implementation issues
* System descriptions
Submissions
-----------
Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract of 5 to 10 pages by
e-mail to the program chair (det@cs.york.ac.uk). Submissions should be
in PostScript format. It is strongly recommended to use LaTeX and ENTCS
style files (http://math.tulane.edu/~entcs/).
Publication
-----------
Accepted contributions will appear in an issue of Elsevier's Electronic
Notes in Theoretical Computer Science. Preliminary proceedings will be
available at the workshop.
