International School on Rewriting

Rewriting is a fundamental concept and tool in computer science,
logic and mathematics. It models the notion of transition or elementary
transformation of abstract entities as well as common data structures like
terms, strings, graphs. Rewriting is central in computation as well as
deduction and is a crucial concept in semantics of programming languages
as well as in proof theory. This results from a long tradition of
cross-fertilization with the lambda-calculus and automated reasoning
research communities.
This first International School on Rewriting is organized for Master and
PhD students, researchers and practitioners interested in the study of
rewriting concepts and application.
This school is supported by the
IFIP Working Group on Term Rewriting.
The lectures will be given by some of the best experts on rewriting
(termination, higher-order systems, strategies, ...) and applications
(security, theorem proving, program analysis and proofs, ...).
