Call for Abstracts/Participation
UNIF 2002
16th International Workshop on Unification
July 25-26, 2002
Copenhagen, Denmark
Affiliated with RTA2002, Part of FLoC'02
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 researches 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.
UNIF 2002 will be held July 25-26 in Copenhagen, Denmark in the
context of FLoC'02, the 2002 Federated Logic Conference
(http://floc02.diku.dk/).
The meeting will include invited talks, short (15 minutes) and long
(30 minutes) contributed 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
