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.

Purpose

The aim of UNIF 2001, as that of the previous meetings, is to 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.

Scope

Traditionally, unification is understood in a rather broad sense at UNIF, also encompassing such topics as constraint solving and type checking. The topics of the workshop include, but are not limited to:
