Aims and scope
Research in term and graph rewriting ranges from theoretical questions to practical issues. Computing with graphs handles the sharing of common subexpressions in a natural and seamless way, and improves the efficiency of computations in space and time. Sharing is ubiquitous in several research areas, for instance : the modelling of first- and higher-order term rewriting by (acyclic or cyclic) graph rewriting, the modelling of biological or chemical abstract machines, the implementation techniques of programming languages: many implementations of functional, logic, object-oriented, concurrent and mobile calculi are based on term graphs. Term graphs are also used in automated theorem proving and symbolic computation systems working on shared structures.
The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers working in different domains on term and graph transformation and to foster their interaction, to provide a forum for presenting new ideas and work in progress, and to enable newcomers to learn about current activities in term graph rewriting.
TERMGRAPH 2013 is a one-day satellite event of ETAPS 2013 http://www.etaps.org/, which will take place in Rome, Italy, from March 16 to March 24, 2013. Previous editions of the TERMGRAPH workshop series (http://www.termgraph.org.uk/) took place in Barcelona (2002), in Rome (2004), in Vienna (2006), in Braga (2007) in York (2009) and in Saarbrücken (2011).
Topics of Interest
Topics of interest are open and include all aspects of term graphs and sharing of common subexpressions in rewriting, programming, automated reasoning and symbolic computation. This includes (but is not limited to): term rewriting, graph transformation, graph-based implementations of lambda-calculus, programming languages, models of computation, graph-based languages, semantics and implementation of programming languages, compiler construction, pattern recognition, databases, bioinformatics, and system descriptions.
Submissions and Publication
Authors are invited to submit either regular papers (up to 15 pages), or position papers, system descriptions, work in progress, extended abstracts (5-7 pages), via the EasyChair system, at URL
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=termgraph2013
Submissions should be in PDF format, using the EPTCS style files (http://style.eptcs.org/). The Proceedings will be published in Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science (EPTCS).
