UNIF 2001: Call for Participation


                     1st Call for Participation
                              UNIF 2001
               15th International Workshop on Unification
                           June 18-19, 2001
                            Siena,  Italy
                          Part of IJCAR 2001


UNIF is the main international meeting on unification. Unification is
concerned with the problem of identifying given terms, either
syntactically or modulo a given logical theory. Syntactic unification
is the basic operation of most automated reasoning systems, and
unification modulo theories can be used, for instance, to build in
special equational theories into theorem provers.

The main purpose of UNIF is to bring together people interested in
unification, present recent (even unfinished) work, and discuss new
ideas and trends in unification and related fields. In particular, it
is intended to offer a good opportunity for young researchers and
researchers working in related areas to get an overview of the current
state of the art in unification theory and get in contact with the
experts in the field.

The meeting will include short (15 minute) and long (30 minute) talks,
invited talks, and social time to discuss current topics of interest,
which include (but are not limited to):

   o  General E-unification and Calculi 
   o  Special Unification Algorithms
   o  Matching 
   o  Narrowing 
   o  Higher-Order Unification 
   o  Combination problems 
   o  Disunification 
   o  Typed Unification 
   o  Constraint Solving 
   o  Unification Calculi 
   o  Applications 
   o  Implementations 
   o  Type Checking and Reconstruction 
   o  Unification-Based approaches to Grammar 
   o  Applications
   o  Implementations
