[TYPES/announce] First CFP WPTE 2019

[Vivek Nigam]

Dear all,

(Excuse me for multiple postings.)

Please consider submitting your extended abstract to WPTE 2019 co-located
with FSCD.
We are expecting a very interesting workshop with three excellent invited
speakers already confirmed and a very strong PC.

Further details can be found below.

========================================================================================
                      Sixth International Workshop on
    Rewriting Techniques for Program Transformations and Evaluation

                                WPTE 2019

                        affiliated with FSCD 2019

                      24 June, 2019, Dortmund, Germany

========================================================================================

Important Dates
===============

 * Submission of extended abstracts: April 15, 2019
 * Notification of acceptance: May 20, 2019
 * Final version for proceedings deadline: May 27, 2019
 * Workshop: June 24, 2019
 * Submission deadline for post proceedings:
                    September, 2019 (exact date to be announced)

Aims and Scope
==============
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 in the scope of this workshop include:

* 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 reasoning 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.

The programming languages of interest include pure, deterministic, impure,
nondeterministic, concurrent, parallel languages, and may employ
programming paradigms
such as functional, logical, typed, imperative, object-oriented, and
higher-order.

Invited Speakers
===============
  * Maribel Fernandez, King's College London
  * René Thiemann, University of Innsbruck
  * Masahiko Sakai, Nagoya University


Paper Submissions
=================
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.
However, for the formal post-proceedings (see below) full papers must be
submitted to
the post-proceedings deadline.
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/).

Formal Post-Proceedings
=======================
The WPTE post-proceedings will be published in
Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science (http://eptcs.org/).
The authors of all presented contributions will have the opportunity (but
no obligation)
to submit a full paper for the formal post-proceedings.
These full-papers 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
2019.
There will be a second round of reviewing for selecting papers to be
published
in the formal proceedings.
