WPTE 2014 - First 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 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 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 inversions and program synthesis.
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.
Proceedings
We plan to publish full-papers as formal proceedings in the OpenAccess Series in Informatics (OASIcs) of Schloss Dagstuhl Leibniz-Zentrum für Informatik.
Extended abstracts on work in progress will not be included in the OASIcs proceedings but they will be distributed to the workshop partipicants.
Call for Papers
The call for papers is also available in PDF-format and TXT-format.
WPTE accepts two different kinds of contributions:
Full-papers: Full-papers must represent original work and should be submitted using the EasyChair interface. We plan to publish full-papers as formal proceedings in the OpenAccess Series in Informatics (OASIcs) of Schloss Dagstuhl Leibniz-Zentrum fuer Informatik. Full-papers should not exceed 12 pages using the OASIcs LaTeX templates.
Work in progress: There will also be a slot for presenting work in progress. An extended abstract of at most 4 pages is required to be submitted using the EasyChair interface. These contributions will not be included in the OASIcs proceedings but they will be distributed to the workshop partipicants.
One author of each accepted paper or abstract is expected to present it at the workshop.
Important Dates:
Submission deadline: 25 April 2014 via https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wpte14.
Notification of acceptance: 23 May 2014
Deadline for camera-ready proceedings: 28 May 2014
