RULE 2006
7th International Workshop on Rule-Based Programming
http://www.dcs.kcl.ac.uk/events/RULE06/
Seattle, USA
11th August 2006
A satellite event of RTA 2006 at FLoC
=======================================================================
The basic concepts of rule-based programming appear throughout Computer
Science, from theoretical foundations to practical implementations. Term
rewriting is used in semantics in order to describe the meaning of
programming languages, as well as in the implementation of program
transformation systems. Rules are used implicitly or explicitly to
perform computations, e.g., in Mathematica, OBJ, ELAN, Maude or to
perform deductions, e.g., by using inference rules to describe or
implement a logic, theorem prover or constraint solver. Mail clients and
mail servers use complex rules to help users organising their email and
sorting out spam. Language implementations use bottom-up rewrite systems
for code generation (as in the BURG family of tools.)
Constraint-handling rules (CHRs) are used to specify and implement
constraint-based algorithms and applications. Rule-based programming
idioms also give rise to multi-paradigm languages like Claire.
The purpose of this workshop is to bring together researchers from the
various communities working on rule-based programming to foster advances
in the theory of rule-based programming, cross-fertilization between
theory and practice, research on rule-based programming methods, and the
exploration of important application domains of rule-based programming.
RULE 2006 will be a one-day satellite event of RTA 2006 at FLoC.
