Rewriting and Typed Lambda Calculi

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Joint 25th International Conference on Rewriting Techniques and Applications, RTA 2014, and 12th International Conference on Typed Lambda-Calculi and Applications, TLCA 2014, held as part of the Vienna Summer of Logic, VSL 2014, in Vienna, Austria, in July 2014. The 28 revised full papers and 3 short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 87 submissions. The papers provide research results on all aspects of rewriting and typed lambda calculi, ranging from theoretical and methodological issues to applications in various contexts. They address a wide variety of topics such as algorithmic aspects, implementation, logic, types, semantics, and programming.

Gilles Dowek is Director of Research at INRIA and heads the LOGICAL project-team. He is also a Professor at the École Polytechnique and a researcher at the École Polytechnique's Computer Science Laboratory (LIX). He is an advisor to the National Institute of Aerospace, a NASA Langley research centre laboratory. His research focuses on formalising mathematics, on demonstration processing systems related to quantum programming language design and on safety for aerospace systems. He has written several works aimed at explaining maths and science theory in layman's terms.
