*WPTE 2018 **CALL FOR PAPERS**
*
*5th International Workshop on Rewriting Techniques for Program
Transformations and Evaluation*
Affiliated with FLoC 2018 <http://www.floc2018.org> and FSCD 2018
<http://www.cs.le.ac.uk/events/fscd2018> in Oxford, July 8.

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.
Topics of Interest
* 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 arguing 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.

Paper Selection and Proceedings
Contributions to WPTE'2018
For the paper submission deadline an extended abstract of at most 10
pages is required to be submitted. The extended abstract may present
original work or also work in progress. Based on the submissions the
program committee will select the presentations for the workshop. All
selected contributions will be included in the informal proceedings
distributed to the workshop participants. One author of each accepted
extended abstract is expected to present it at the workshop. Submissions
must be prepared in LaTeX using the EPTCS macro package
(http://style.eptcs.org/). Extended abstract submission to WPTE'2018
<https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wpte2018> is handled by
easychair at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wpte2018.
Formal Proceedings
As in previous years, we intend to publish WPTE post-proceedings of
selected papers by the Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer
Science (http://eptcs.org/). For this, full papers must be submitted
until the post-proceedings deadline. The authors of all presented
contributions will have the opportunity (but no obligation) to submit a
full paper for the formal post-proceedings. These must represent
original work and should not be submitted to another conference at the
same time. Full-papers should not exceed 15 pages. The submission
deadline for these post-proceedings will be after the workshop in
September 2018. There will be a second round of reviewing for selecting
papers to be published in the formal proceedings.
Important Dates
* Submission of extended abstracts: April 15, 2018
* Notification of acceptance: May 15, 2018
* Final version for proceedings deadline: May 30, 2018
* Workshop: July 8, 2018
* Submission to postproceedings: September 2018
