9TH INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON REWRITING LOGIC AND ITS APPLICATIONS WRLA 2012
Tallinn, Estonia, March 24-25, 2012 http://wrla2012.lcc.uma.es/ The workshop will be held in conjunction with ETAPS 2012 14th European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software March 24 - April 1, 2012 http://www.etaps.org/2012 IMPORTANT DATES December 14, 2011 Deadline for submission January 18, 2012 Author notification Early February, 2010 Final version in electronic form AIMS AND SCOPE Rewriting logic (RL) is a natural model of computation and an expressive semantic framework for concurrency, parallelism, communication, and interaction. It can be used for specifying a wide range of systems and languages in various application fields. It also has good properties as a metalogical framework for representing logics. In recent years, several languages based on RL (ASF+SDF, CafeOBJ, ELAN, Maude) have been designed and implemented. The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers with a common interest in RL and its applications, and to give them the opportunity to present their recent works, discuss future research directions, and exchange ideas. The topics of the workshop comprise, but are not limited to, - foundations and models of RL; - languages based on RL, including implementation issues; - RL as a logical framework; - RL as a semantic framework, including applications of RL to - object-oriented systems, - concurrent and/or parallel systems, - interactive, distributed, open ended and mobile systems, - specification of languages and systems; - use of RL to provide rigorous support for model-based software engineering; - formalisms related to RL, including - real-time and probabilistic extensions of RL, - rewriting approaches to behavioral specifications, - tile logic; - verification techniques for RL specifications, including - equational and coherence methods, and - verification of properties expressed in first-order, higher-order, modal and temporal logics; - comparisons of RL with existing formalisms having analogous aims; - application of RL to specification and analysis of - distributed systems, - physical systems.

They must be unpublished and not submitted simultaneously for publication elsewhere. Papers should not exceed 15 pages, should be formatted according to the guidelines for Springer LNCS papers, and should be submitted electronically using EasyChair. The final program of the workshop will also include system demonstrations and invited presentations to be determined. Submissions will be evaluated by the Program Committee for inclusion in the proceedings, which will be published by the organization of ETAPS. As for WRLA 2010, we are negotiating the publications of a volume in the Springer's LNCS series as post-proceedings. Depending on the number and the quality of the contributions, we will consider the preparation of a special issue in some scientific journal in the field with extended versions of a selection of the papers of the workshop.
