WPTE 2020: 7th International Workshop on Rewriting Techniques for Program Transformations and Evaluation Paris, France, June 29, 2020 |
Conference website | http://maude.ucm.es/wpte20/ |
Submission link | https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wpte2020 |
Submission deadline | May 4, 2020 |
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.
IMPORTANT UPDATE - WPTE WILL BE HELD AS VIRTUAL CONFERENCE
FSCD - IJCAR and associated workshops will be held as Virtual Conferences. To have an event where participants are not only there to enjoy the talks, but also to have informal interactions with each others, a common platform to handle all virtual workshops together will be used, so that all participants will be in the same virtual space.
Important dates
- Submission of extended abstracts: May 4, 2020
- Notification of acceptance: May 25, 2020
- Final version for proceedings deadline: June 1, 2020
- Workshop: June 29, 2020
- Submission to post-proceedings: September 2020
Submission Guidelines
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. The following paper categories are welcome:
- 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.
- Correctness of program transformations, optimizations and translations.
- 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.
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. Extended abstract submission to WPTE 2020 is handled by the corresponding easychair page.
Invited speakers
- Hélène Kirchner, Inria Paris
Formal proceedings
WPTE post-proceedings of selected papers will be published in a JLAMP special issue. 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. The submission deadline for these post-proceedings will be after the workshop in September 2020. There will be a second round of reviewing for selecting papers to be published in the formal proceedings.
