CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
ISR 2014
7th International School on Rewriting

http://isr2014.inf.utfsm.cl

August 25-29, 2014
Universidad Técnica Federíco Santa María
Valparaíso, Chile

Co-located with the 21st Workshop on Logic, Language, Information and 
Computation (WoLLIC 2014)
http://web.ing.puc.cl/~wollic

Rewriting is a branch of computer science whose origins go back to the 
origins of computer science itself (with Thue, Church, Post, and many 
other prominent researchers). It has strong links with mathematics, 
algebra, and logic, and it is the basis of well-known programming 
paradigms like functional and equational programming, which are taught 
at the universitary level in many countries. In these programming 
paradigms and corresponding languages, the notions of reduction, pattern 
matching, confluence, termination, strategy, etc., are essential. 
Rewriting provides a solid framework for understanding, using, and 
teaching all these notions. Rewriting techniques are also used in many 
other areas of software engineering (scripting, prototyping, automated 
transformation of legacy systems, refactoring, web services, etc.) and 
are implemented in popular systems like Mathematica, Autocad, and 
others. Rewriting techniques play a relevant role in computing research, 
education, and industry.

The International School on Rewriting is promoted by the IFIP Working 
Group 1.6 Term Rewriting. The school is aimed at master and PhD 
students, researchers, and practitioners interested in the study of 
rewriting concepts and their applications.

Two tracks are offered, including the lectures and the courses:

- Track A: for newcomers in the field, or just for people who want to 
obtain a new, updated exposure.

- Track B: for those who want to get deeper in the most recent 
developments and applications of rewriting.
