3rd International Workshop on Term Graph Rewriting
TERMGRAPH 2006 1 April 2006, Vienna, Austria
A satellite event of ETAPS 2006

http://www.dcs.kcl.ac.uk/events/TERMGRAPH2006/

Term graph rewriting is concerned with the representation of
functional expressions as graphs and the evaluation of these
expressions by rule-based graph transformation. The advantage of using
graphs rather than strings or trees is that common subexpressions can
be shared, which improves the efficiency of computations in space and
time. Sharing is ubiquitous in implementations of functional and logic
programming languages, systems for automated reasoning, and symbolic
computation systems, etc.

The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers working in
these different domains 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 2006 will be a one-day satellite event of the
ETAPS 2006, which will take place in Vienna, 2006. The first TERMGRAPH
workshop took place in Barcelona in 2002 and the second in Rome in
2004.

Topics of interest 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):
Theory of first-order and higher-order term graph rewriting; Graph
rewriting in lambda calculus (sharing graphs, interaction nets,
optimality); Applications in functional, logic and functional-logic
programming; Applications in automated reasoning and symbolic
computation; Implementation issues; System descriptions.
