                    20th Int. Workshop on Unification

                A satellite workshop of RTA'6 and FLoC'06
                  The Seattle Sheraton Hotel and Towers
                           Seattle, WA, USA

UNIF is the main international meeting on unification. Unification is
concerned with the problem of identifying given terms, either
syntactically or modulo a given logical theory. Syntactic unification
is the basic operation of most automated reasoning systems, and
unification modulo theories can be used, for instance, to build in
special equational theories into theorem provers.

The aim of UNIF 2006, as that of the previous meetings, is to to bring
together people interested in unification, present recent (even
unfinished) work, and discuss new ideas and trends in unification and
related fields. This includes scientific presentations, but also
descriptions of applications and softwares using unification as a
strong component.

In 2006, UNIF has been organized as part of the 2006 Federated Logic
Conference (FLoC 2006).

This workshop is the twentieth in the series: UNIF'87 (Val D'Ajol,
France), UNIF'88 (Val D'Ajol, France), UNIF'89 (Lambrecht, Germany),
UNIF'90 (Leeds, England), UNIF'91 (Barbizon, France), UNIF'92
(Dagstuhl, Germany), UNIF'93 (Boston, USA), UNIF'94 (Val D'Ajol,
France), UNIF'95 (Sitges, Spain), UNIF'96 (Herrsching, Germany),
UNIF'97 (Orl%/1€Œiso8859-15éans, France), UNIF'98 (Rome, Italy),
UNIF'99 (Frankfurt, Germany), UNIF'00 (Pittsburgh, USA), UNIF'01
(Siena, Italy), UNIF'02 (Copenhagen, Denmark). UNIF'03 (Valencia,
Spain). UNIF'04 (Cork, Ireland). UNIF'05 (Nara, Japan).
