  abstract =     "{In modern functional languages, pattern matching is
                 used to define functions or expressions by performing
                 an analysis of the \emph{structure of values}. We
                 extend \texttt{Haskell} with a new non--local form of
                 patterns called \emph{context patterns}, which allow
                 the matching of subterms without fixed distance from
                 the root of the whole term. The semantics of context
                 patterns is defined by transforming them to standard
                 \texttt{Haskell} programs. Typical applications of
                 context patterns are functions which \emph{search} a
                 data structure and possibly \emph{transform} it. This
                 concept can easily be adopted for other languages using
                 pattern matching like \texttt{ML} or \texttt{Clean}.}",
