NEWS: DEADLINE EXTENSION ===================================================================== Call for Papers IWC 2016 5th International Workshop on Confluence Week of Sep 8-9, 2016, Obergurgl, Austria, Part of Computational Logic in the Alps CLA 2016 http://www.csl.sri.com/~tiwari/iwc2016/ ===================================================================== Confluence provides a general notion of determinism and is widely viewed as one of the central properties of rewriting. Confluence relates to many topics of rewriting (completion, modularity, termination, commutation, etc.) and had been investigated in many formalisms of rewriting such as first-order rewriting, lambda-calculi, higher-order rewriting, constrained rewriting, conditional rewriting, etc. Recently there is a renewed interest in confluence research, resulting in new techniques, tool support, certification as well as new applications. The International Workshop on Confluence (IWC) aims at promoting further research in confluence and related properties. IWC 2016 is part of the Computational Logic in the Alps event to be held in Obergurgl, Austria, during the week Sep 4-10, 2016. Previous editions of the workshop were held in Nagoya (2012), Eindhoven (2013), Vienna (2014), and Berlin (2015). During the workshop, the 5th Confluence Competition (CoCo 2016) takes place. IMPORTANT DATES: * submission EXTENDED TO June 30, 2016 * notification July 12, 2016 * final version Aug 03, 2016 * workshop Sep 8-9, 2016 TOPICS: Specific topics of interest include: * confluence and related properties (unique normal forms, commutation, ground confluence) * completion * critical pair criteria * decidability issues * complexity issues * system descriptions * certification * applications of confluence INVITED SPEAKERS: * Florent Jacquemard (INRIA) * Paul-Andre Mellies (CNRS & Paris Diderot University) PROGRAM COMMITTEE: * Beniamino Accattoli (INRIA) * Bertram Felgenhauer (University of Innsbruck) * Yves Guiraud (INRIA & Paris Diderot University) * Nao Hirokawa (JAIST) * Koji Nakazawa (Nagoya) * Ashish Tiwari (Menlo Park) SUBMISSION: We solicit short papers or extended abstracts of at most five pages. There will be no formal reviewing. In particular, we welcome short versions of recently published articles and papers submitted elsewhere. The program committee checks relevance and may provide additional feedback. The accepted papers will be made available electronically before the workshop. The page limit for papers is 5 pages in EasyChair style. Short papers or extended abstracts must be submitted electronically through the EasyChair system at: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iwc2016
