WPTE 2018 (Deadline Extended)

Fifth International Workshop on Rewriting Techniques for Program 
Transformations and Evaluation

Affiliated with FLoC 2018 and FSCD 2018 in Oxford, July 8.

Please consider an abstract for presenting your work at the
workshop even if in an early stage.

About WPTE

The aim of WPTE is to bring together the researchers working on program 
transformations, evaluation, and operationally based programming 
language semantics, using rewriting methods, in order to share the 
techniques and recent developments and to exchange ideas to encourage 
further activation of research in this area.
Topics of Interest

     Correctness of program transformations, optimizations and translations.
     Program transformations for proving termination, confluence and 
other properties.
     Correctness of evaluation strategies.
     Operational semantics of programs, operationally-based program 
equivalences such as contextual equivalences and bisimulations.
     Cost-models for arguing about the optimizing power of 
transformations and the costs of evaluation.
     Program transformations for verification and theorem proving purposes.
     Translation, simulation, equivalence of programs with different 
formalisms, and evaluation strategies.
     Program transformations for applying rewriting techniques to 
programs in specific programming languages.
     Program transformations for program inversions and program synthesis.
     Program transformation and evaluation for Haskell and Rewriting.

Paper Selection and Proceedings
Contributions to WPTE'2018
For the paper submission deadline an extended abstract of at most 10 
pages is required to be submitted. The extended abstract may present 
original work or also work in progress. Based on the submissions the 
program committee will select the presentations for the workshop. All 
selected contributions will be included in the informal proceedings 
distributed to the workshop participants. One author of each accepted 
extended abstract is expected to present it at the workshop. Submissions 
must be prepared in LaTeX using the EPTCS macro package 
(http://style.eptcs.org/). Extended abstract submission to WPTE'2018 is 
handled by easychair at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wpte2018.
Formal Proceedings
As in previous years, we intend to publish WPTE post-proceedings of 
selected papers by the Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer 
Science. For this, full papers must be submitted until the 
post-proceedings deadline. The authors of all presented contributions 
will have the opportunity (but no obligation) to submit a full paper for 
the formal post-proceedings. These must represent original work and 
should not be submitted to another conference at the same time. 
Full-papers should not exceed 15 pages. The submission deadline for 
these post-proceedings will be after the workshop in September 2018. 
There will be a second round of reviewing for selecting papers to be 
published in the formal proceedings.
