===================================================================== Call for Papers IWC 2017 6th International Workshop on Confluence
September 8th, 2017, Oxford, United Kingdom Collocated with FSCD 2017
http://cl-informatik.uibk.ac.at/events/iwc-2017/ =====================================================================
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 has 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 2017 is collocated with FSCD 2017. Previous editions of the workshop were held in Nagoya (2012), Eindhoven (2013), Vienna (2014), Berlin (2015), and Obergurgl (2016).
During the workshop, the 6th Confluence Competition (CoCo 2017) takes place.
IMPORTANT DATES: * submission Saturday, July 1st, 2017 * notification Saturday, July 22nd, 2017 * final version Saturday, August 5th, 2017 * workshop Friday, September 8th, 2017 (deadlines are AoE)
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: tba
PROGRAM COMMITTEE: * Beniamino Accattoli (INRIA) * Jörg Endrullis (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam) * Bertram Felgenhauer (University of Innsbruck) * Ken-Etsu Fujita (Gumma University) * Philippe Malbos (Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1) * Jakob Grue Simonsen (University of Copenhagen)
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:
