                 Call for Papers
                    UNIF 2015
  The 29th International Workshop on Unification
          June 28, 2015. Warsaw, Poland
   http://rdp15.mimuw.edu.pl/index.php?site=unif
                   *********
     part of the Federated Conference on
  Rewriting, Deduction, and Programming (RDP'15)
==========================================================

UNIF 2015 is the 29th event in a series of international
meetings devoted to unification theory and its applications.
Unification is concerned with the problem of identifying
terms, finding solutions for equations, or making formulas
equivalent. It is a fundamental process used in a number of
fields of computer science, including automated reasoning,
term rewriting, logic programming, natural language
processing, program analysis, types, etc.

The International Workshop on Unification (UNIF) is a yearly
forum for researchers in unification theory and related
fields to meet old and new colleagues, to present recent
(even unfinished) work, and to discuss new ideas and trends.
It is also a good opportunity for young researchers and
scientists working in related areas to get an overview of the
current state of the art in unification theory.

Topics of Interest
------------------
A non-exhaustive list of topics of interest include:

- Unification algorithms, calculi and implementations
- Equational unification and unification modulo theories
- Unification in modal, temporal and description logics
- Admissibility of inference rules
- Narrowing
- Matching algorithms
- Constraint solving
- Combination problems
- Disunification
- Higher-Order unification
- Type checking and reconstruction
- Typed unification
- Complexity issues
- Query answering
- Implementation techniques
- Applications of unification
- Antiunification/Generalization

Submission
----------
Following the tradition of UNIF, we call for submissions of
abstracts (5 pages) in EasyChair style, to be submitted
electronically as PDF files through the EasyChair submission
site:

 https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=unif2015

Abstracts will be evaluated by the Programme Committee
(if necessary with support from external reviewers)
regarding their significance for the workshop. Accepted
abstracts will be presented at the workshop and included in
the informal proceedings of the workshop, available in printed
form at the workshop and in electronic form from the UNIF
homepage:

 http://www.pps.jussieu.fr/~treinen/unif/

Based on the number and quality of submissions we will decide
whether to organize a special journal issue.
