                               CALL FOR PAPERS


Seventh International Conference on                            July 27-30, 1996
Rewriting Techniques and Applications               Rutgers University, NJ, USA



  The Seventh Conference on Rewriting Techniques and Applications solicits
papers in any of the following or related areas:


   Term rewriting systems                  Symbolic and algebraic computation
   Constrained rewriting and deduction     Equational programming languages
   String and graph rewriting              Completion techniques
   Rewrite-based theorem proving           Unification and matching algorithms
   Conditional and typed rewriting         Constraint solving
   Higher-order rewriting                  Architectures for rewriting
                Parallel/distributed rewriting and deduction

Original papers on the topics listed above are solicited.  In addition to full 
research papers, descriptions of new working systems (4 proceedings pages) 
and problem sets that provide realistic, interesting challenges in the field of
rewriting techniques are also welcome.  Papers on new applications of rewriting
techniques are particularly encouraged.

  Submissions must reach the program chair, at the address below, no later than

	                      January 15, 1996. 

Notification of acceptance or rejection will be made by March 10, 1996.  
Camera-ready copy (following special guidelines for Springer Lecture Notes) 
will be due by April 30, 1996.

Hill (1989), Como (1991), Montreal (1993), Kaiserslautern (1995); 
their proceedings were published by Springer-Verlag as part of their 
Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.


Paper Submission Guidelines:

  Papers submitted to RTA96 must be unpublished and not submitted for 
publication elsewhere.  In particular, multiple submissions of the same or a 
closely related paper to any of the other conferences participating in FLoC 
are not permitted.

  The title page of the submission should include the author's name, address, 
and phone number, as well as electronic address and fax number, if available. 
Late papers and papers that require major revision, including submissions that
are too long, will be rejected.  Each submission should include 6 (six) copies
of a full draft paper of no more than 15 (fifteen) pages.  Using Springer LNCS
style files is strongly recommended. Electronic submission in 
Postscript form is encouraged.  Proofs of theorems should be provided
in the paper, or, if space does not permit, should be made accessible
otherwise (e.g., as an appendix to the submission or via the Web).


The Federated Logic Conference:

  RTA-96 is part of the 

                    Federated Logic Conference (FLoC), 
                       July 27 - August 3, 1996, 

being hosted by the Center for Discrete Mathematics and Computer Science 
(DIMACS), Rutgers University, as part of its Special Year on Logic and 
Algorithms.  In addition to RTA, FLoC includes the following related 
conferences: 
 - IEEE Symposium on Logic in Computer Science (LICS),
 - Conference on Computer-Aided Verification (CAV), and 
 - Conference on Automated Deduction (CADE).  
LICS and RTA will be held in parallel during the first four days of FLoC.  
CADE and CAV will be held during the last four days, with CADE workshops 
running in parallel with the last day of LICS.  Plenary
events involving all the conferences are scheduled.  Information about FLoC
can be found in http://www.research.att.com/lics/FLoC/. Information about
the Special Year can be found in http://dimacs.rutgers.edu/.
