There will also be a "small TYPES workshop" on Type theory, proof theory and rewriting (TPR '07), 4 days later in Paris.



TOPICS

HOR 2007 is a forum to present work concerning all aspects of higher-order rewriting. The following is a non-exhaustive list of topics for the workshop:  
SUBMISSIONS

Abstracts between 2 and 5 pages. As HOR is meant to be a platform to discuss ongoing research we are also interested in abstracts describing work in progress, or problems in higher-order rewriting. Please use the submission web site http://www.easychair.org/HOR2007/ (CLOSED). Please address your questions to the PC chair, under family_name@irit.fr.

PROGRAM

Note: Kristoffer Rose could not come to the workshop. He provided material to be presented in his absence, but technical problems did not make this possible. Please find the material on his personal page http://www.krisrose.net. A local copy of his slides for the talk and the 54,7MB and 35 minutes AVI talk presentation with voice (slides run a bit behind the voice; after minute 26, this should be taken into account). Finally, the AVI demo presentation with voice (38,9MB and 19 minutes).
