WPTE 2018 - 2018 Fifth International Workshop on Rewriting Techniques for Program Transformations and Evaluation

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.
