CfP: Workshop & Tutorial on Categorical Rewriting at RTA'98.
[The following announcement may be of interest to readers of the TYPES
list, since categorical rewriting takes a more abstract approach
to term rewriting, with results which can be relevant to type
theory as well-- see e.g. the work of Ghani about decision
procedures for typed lambda calculi ("adjoint rewriting"), or of
Hasegawa about implementation techniques for recursive computations
("cyclic lambda calculi").

Categorical Rewriting
---------------------------------------------------
RTA'98 Workshop & Tutorial - Call for Participation
The fact that category theory can provide a semantics for rewriting at
a level of abstraction between concrete syntax and the relational
models given by abstract reduction systems is beginning to be used
with increasing success in rewriting.
The aim of this workshop and tutorial is to provide an opportunity for
the participants of RTA'98 to learn more about categorical term
rewriting, and to provide a meeting place for researchers within the
field to present and discuss new ideas where category theory can be
fruitfully applied to rewriting.
The workshop and tutorial will occupy one afternoon of RTA'98. The
tutorial will comprise introductory talks about the categorical
concepts relevant to term rewriting, such as the theory of monads. For
the workshop, talks are invited about work applying categorical or
algebraic concepts to term rewriting or related areas, such as graph
rewriting, string rewriting or unification.
Important dates are as follows:
31 January 1998 Submission deadline
15 February 1998 Notification of acceptance and final programme
1 March 1998 Final versions are due for the informal proceedings
