Second International Workshop on

Rewriting Techniques for
Program Transformations and Evaluation

affiliated with RDP 2015

Warsaw, Poland, 2nd July 2015


!! OASIcs proceedings are now available !!

About WPTE

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. The previous WPTE was held in Vienna 2014.

Topics of interest in the scope of this workshop include:

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.

Program transformation and evaluation for Haskell and Rewriting is a new topic of this workshop: equational reasoning and other rewriting techniques for program verification and analysis; lambda calculi and type systems for functional programs and higher-order rewrite systems; rewriting of type expressions in the type checker; rewriting of programs by refactoring tools, optimizers, code generators; execution of programs as a form of graph rewriting (terms with sharing); Template Haskell, generally introducing a rewriting-like macro language into the compilation process; rewriting modulo commonly occurring axioms such as associativity, commutativity, and identity element.
