                              UNIF 2004
               18th International Workshop on Unification
                  July 4-5, 2004, Cork,  Ireland
                      Affiliated with IJCAR'04

UNIF is the main international meeting on unification. Unification is
concerned with the problem of identifying given terms, either
syntactically or modulo a given logical theory. Syntactic unification
is the basic operation of most automated reasoning systems, and
unification modulo theories can be used, for instance, to build in
special equational theories into theorem provers.

The aim of UNIF 2004, as that of the previous meetings, is to to bring
together people interested in unification, present recent (even
unfinished) work, and discuss new ideas and trends in unification and
related fields. In particular, it is intended to offer a good
opportunity for young researches and researchers working in related
areas to get an overview of the current state of the art in
unification theory and get in contact with the experts in the field.
