Aims and Scope

==============

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 were held in Vienna 2014, and Warsaw in 2015.

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 reasoning 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.

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

===========

The WPTE post-proceedings will be published in in Electronic

Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science (http://eptcs.org/).

Extended abstracts of work in progress are not included in the EPTCS

proceedings but they will be included in the USB memory which is

distributed to the FSCD participants.

Paper Submissions

=================

WPTE accepts two different kinds of contributions:

* Full-papers: 

  ------------

   Full-papers must represent original work and should not be submitted

   to another conference at the same time. Full-papers should not exceed 15

   pages. Accepted papers will be included in the formal proceedings

after revision. 

* Work in progress:

  -----------------

   There will also be a slot for presenting work in progress. An

   extended abstract of at most 10 pages is required to be submitted.

   These contributions will not be included in the formal proceedings 

   for full-papers but they will be distributed to the workshop participants.

One author of each accepted paper or abstract is expected to present 

it at the workshop. Submissions must be prepared in LaTeX using the

EPTCS macro package (http://style.eptcs.org/). 

Important Dates

===============

* Submission deadline: April 27th, 2016

* Notification of acceptance: May 13th, 2016

* Deadline for camera-ready proceedings: May 27th, 2016 

* Workshop: June 23rd, 2016
