CATEGORY THEORY AND COMPUTER SCIENCE (CTCS'02)
AUGUST 15-17, 2002
GRADUATE STUDENT PRECONFERENCE
AUGUST 12-14, 2002
University of Ottawa
Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS
CTCS '02 is the 9th Conference on Category Theory and Computer
Science. The purpose of the conference series is the advancement of
the foundations of computing using the tools of category theory.
The emphasis is upon applications of category theory, but it is
recognized that the area is highly interdisciplinary.
Typical topics of interest include, but are not limited to,
category-theoretic aspects of the following:
coalgebras and computing
concurrent and distributed systems
constructive mathematics
declarative programming and term rewriting
domain theory and topology
foundations of computer security
linear logic
modal and temporal logics
models of computation
program logics, data refinement, and specification
programming language semantics
type theory
Previous meetings have been held in Guildford (Surrey), Edinburgh
(twice), Manchester, Paris, Amsterdam, Cambridge, and S. Margherita
Ligure (Genova). This is the first time CTCS will be held in North
America.
The proceedings of the conference will be published as a special issue
of ENTCS (Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science). Paper
copies of the proceedings will be available to participants at the
conference.
GRADUATE STUDENT PRECONFERENCE
One new feature that CTCS will have this year is a "preconference"
from August 12-14. The goal is to prepare students for CTCS, through
mini-courses in the basic areas underlying the fields of the
conference. We anticipate offering courses in the following areas:
Introduction to Category Theory
Introduction to Categorical Logic
Coalgebras
Communication and Concurrency
Game Semantics
Linear Logic
