This book shows how dominant inflections of key terms in composition reinforce composition's low institutional status and the poor working conditions of many of its instructors and tutors. Horner demonstrates ways to challenge debilitating definitions of these terms and to rework them and their relations to one another in constructive ways.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th International Workshop on Rewriting Logic and its Applications, WRLA 2010, held as a satellite event of ETAPS 2010, Paphos, Cyprus, in March 2010. The 13 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 29 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on termination and narrowing; tools; the K framework; applications and semantics; maude model checking and debugging; and rewrite engines.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-workshop proceedings of the 10th International Workshop on Rewriting Logic and its Applications, WRLA 2014, held as a satellite event of ETAPS 2014, in Grenoble, France, in March 2014. The 13 revised full papers presented together with 3 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 21 submissions. The papers address a great diversity of topics in the fields of foundations and models of RL; languages based on RL; RL as a logical framework; RL as a semantic framework; use of RL to provide rigorous support for model-based software engineering; formalisms related to RL; verification techniques for RL specifications; comparisons of RL with existing formalisms having analogous aims; application of RL to specification and analysis of distributed systems and physical systems.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 19th International Conference on Rewriting Techniques and Applications, RTA 2008, held in Hagenberg, Austria, July 15-17, in June 2008 as part of the RISC Summer 2008. The 30 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 57 initial submissions. The papers cover current research on all aspects of rewriting including typical areas of interest such as applications, foundational issues, frameworks, implementations, and semantics.

"This book presents current research on all aspects of domain-specific language for scholars and practitioners in the software engineering fields, providing new results and answers to open problems in DSL research"--

Term rewriting systems developed out of mathematical logic and are an important part of theoretical computer science. They consist of sequences of discrete transformation steps where one term is replaced with another and have applications in many areas, from functional programming to automatic theorem proving and computer algebra. This 2003 book starts at an elementary level with the earlier chapters providing a foundation for the rest of the work. Much of the advanced material appeared here for the first time in book form. Subjects treated include orthogonality, termination, completion, lambda calculus, higher-order rewriting, infinitary rewriting and term graph rewriting. Many exercises are included with selected solutions provided on the web. A comprehensive bibliography makes this book ideal both for teaching and research. A chapter is included presenting applications of term rewriting systems, with many pointers to actual implementations.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Coordination Models and Languages, COORDINATION 2014, held in Berlin, Germany, in June 2014. The 12 papers included in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 31 submissions. They deal with topics such as programming abstractions and languages, coordination models and paradigms, applied software engineering principles, specification and verification, foundations and types, distributed middleware architectures, multicore programming, collaborative adaptive systems, and coordination related use cases.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 22nd International Conference on Logic Programming, ICLP 2006, held in Seattle, WA, USA, in August 2006. This volume presents 20 revised full papers and 6 application papers together with 2 invited talks, 2 tutorials and special interest papers, as well as 17 poster presentations and the abstracts of 7 doctoral consortium articles. Coverage includes all issues of current research in logic programming.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the 7th International Workshop on Computational Logic for Multi-Agent Systems, CLIMA VII, held in Hakodate, Japan, in May 2006. It was an associated event of AAMAS 2006, the main international conference on autonomous agents and multi-agent systems. The series of workshops presents current work on application of general and declarative theories.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th International Symposium on Practical Aspects of Declarative Languages, PADL 2007, held in Nice, France, in January 2007, co-located with POPL 2007, the Symposium on Principles of Programming Languages. The 19 revised full papers presented together with two invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 58 submissions. All current aspects of declarative programming are addressed.
