News & Upcoming Events

Overview

IFIP Working Group 1.6 is one of the seven working groups of the Technical Committee 1 of the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP). IFIP is the leading multinational, apolitical organization in Information & Communications Technologies and Sciences. It is recognized by United Nations and other world bodies, represents IT Societies from 56 countries or regions, covering all 5 continents with a total membership of over half a million.

WG 1.6 Aims

  • To promote research efforts in rewriting and its applications.
  • To establish close cooperation between existing groups and to facilitate the emergence of new ones.
  • To increase awareness of rewriting techniques in the computer science community at large.
  • To foster development of applications of theoretical advances.

WG 1.6 Scope

  • Rewriting for computing and reasoning.
  • Theoretical studies of the rewriting relation of different orders.
  • Complexity issues of rewriting.
  • Compilation techniques and applications.
  • Theory and applications of rewriting logic and calculus.
  • Application of rewriting to constraint solving, theorem proving and algebraic specifications.
  • The design, promotion and teaching of rewrite based techniques and applications.

International School on Rewriting (ISR)

Term rewriting is a powerful model of computation that underlies much of declarative programming and which is heavily used in symbolic computation in mathematics, theorem proving, and protocol verification.

The school is aimed at master and PhD students, researchers, and practitioners interested in the study of rewriting concepts and their applications.
