AIMS AND SCOPE

Rewriting logic (RL) is a natural model of computation and an expressive semantic framework for concurrency, parallelism, communication and interaction. It can be used for specifying a wide range of systems and languages in various application fields. It also has good properties as a metalogical framework for representing logics. In recent years, several languages based on RL (ASF+SDF, CafeOBJ, ELAN, Maude) have been designed and implemented. The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers with a common interest in RL and its applications, and to give them the opportunity to present their recent works, discuss future research directions, and exchange ideas.

The topics of the workshop comprise, but are not limited to,

SUBMISSIONS

Submissions will be evaluated by the Program Committee for inclusion in the proceedings, which will published in Springer's LNCS series.

Papers must contain original contributions, be clearly written, and include appropriate reference to and comparison with related work. They must be unpublished and not submitted simultaneously for publication elsewhere. Papers should not exceed 15 pages, should be formatted according to the guidelines for Springer LNCS papers using version 2.14 of Springer's llncs.cls style file (see this link for information for LNCS authors; download llncs2e.zip and not llncs.zip!), and should be submitted electronically, this year using Easychair:

The final program of the workshop will also include system demonstrations and invited presentations to be determined.

Special Journal Issue: After the workshop, authors of selected papers will be invited to submit extended versions of their papers for in a special issue of The Journal of Logic and Algebraic Programming.

3rd REWRITE ENGINE COMPETITION

Like at WRLA'06 and WRLA'08, there will also be a rewrite engine competition at WRLA'10. If you are a rewrite engine developer, you are welcome to participate. A paper will be published in the proceedings, with all the tool participants as authors, where the problems and the results of the competition will be discussed. More details on the rewrite competition can be found at the following link:
http://www.lcc.uma.es/~duran/rewriting_competition/

Also, feel free to contact the WRLA'10 rewrite engine competition organizer, Francisco Duran, or the WRLA'10 organizers for questions or further clarifications.
