First Call for Participation
WORKSHOP ON PROOF THEORY AND COMPUTATION
Dresden University of Technology - June 3-14, 2002
==================================================
<http://www.ki.inf.tu-dresden.de/~guglielm/WPT>
We will offer the following courses of five lectures each, aimed at
researchers and graduate students with some background in proof theory.
The focus of the workshop will be on proof theory and computation: we
aim at a small, informal event where people will have plenty of time to
exchange ideas. Other talks can be accommodated based on interest.
Participation in the workshop is free of charge, but limited to a
maximum of 25 persons. Assistance will be provided in finding an
accommodation in Dresden, at prices starting from 18 EUR/day.
Registration is requested, please send an email to
<mailto:wpt@inf.tu-dresden.de>, making sure you include a very brief bio
(5-10 lines) stating your experience, interests, etc. A selection
procedure will be adopted in case of excessive demand.
Each course will be entirely contained in one of the two weeks the
workshop will span. A detailed schedule will be provided on the
workshop page. This is the list of confirmed courses:
