The Eighth International Workshop on Rule-Based Programming
Friday, June 29, 2007, Paris
Part of RDP'07
http://www.lsv.ens-cachan.fr/rdp07/rule.html
================================================================================
Scope
Rule-based programming provides a framework that facilitates viewing
computation as a sequence of changes transforming a complex shared
structure
such as a term, graph, proof, or constraint store. In rule-based
languages,
a set of abstractions and primitive operations typically provide
sophisticated
mechanisms for recognizing and manipulating structures. In a classical
setting,
a rule-based program consists of a collection of (conditional) rewrite
rules
together with a partially-explicit specification of how the rule
collection
should be applied to a given structure.
Due to theoretical and technological advances, rule-based programming
techniques
are being incorporated into a wide range of research areas including:
Generative
Programming, Aspect-Oriented Programming, Software Maintenance, Reverse
Engineering,
Domain Specific Language Development, and Information Assurance (e.g.,
security,
testing, etc.). Oftentimes, the ad hoc incorporation of rule-based
techniques into
a particular area or problem domain raises general issues that warrant
further study.
Related to this is a growing need to share foundational infrastructure
(e.g., parsers,
pretty printers, etc.) between rule-based systems. The goal of this
workshop is to
foster the exchange of ideas within the rule-based programming community.
Topics
We solicit original papers on all topics related to rule-based programming
including:
* Applications to Software
- Development
- Evolution
- Information Assurance
* Systems
- Descriptions of rule-based systems
- Descriptions of rule-based languages
* Hybrid paradigms -- Rule-based programming combined with:
- Functional programming
- Logic programming
- OO programming
- Language extensions
- Language embeddings
* Theory
- Advances in the rewriting calculus
- Advances in rewriting logic
