                   Call for Papers
                      UNIF 2014
    The 28th International Workshop on Unification
           July 13, 2014. Vienna, Austria
     a FLoC workshop hosted by RTA-TLCA and IJCAR
               http://vsl2014.at/unif
====================================================

UNIF 2014 is the 28th event in a series of international meetings 
devoted to
unification theory and its applications. Unification is concerned with the
problem of identifying terms, finding solutions for equations, or making
formulas equivalent. It is a fundamental process used in a number of fields
of computer science, including automated reasoning, term rewriting, logic
programming, natural language processing, program analysis, types, etc.

The International Workshop on Unification (UNIF) is a yearly forum for
researchers in unification theory and related fields to meet old and new
colleagues, to present recent (even unfinished) work, and to discuss new 
ideas
and trends. It is also a good opportunity for young researchers and 
scientists
working in related areas to get an overview of the current state of the 
art in
unification theory.


Topics
------
A non-exhaustive list of topics of interest includes:

   * syntactic and equational unification
   * matching

   * anti-unification
   * semi-unification
   * higher-order unification
   * complexity issues
   * implementation techniques
   * applications
