Dear Colleagues:

June will be theoretical computer science month at U. Ottawa! The
Fields Institute is sponsoring a summer school in Logic and
Foundations of Computation, which will take place in the 3 weeks
preceding the LICS conference at the University of Ottawa.  This
program will be hosted by the logic group in the Department of
Mathematics and Statistics (Philip Scott, Richard Blute, and Peter
Selinger), together with many distinguished visitors.

The program consists of 2 weeks of courses, then a week of research
workshops in several areas of theoretical computer science.

Courses (Morning and Afternoons) Include:
=========================================

Week 1: (i) Categorical Logic and Type Theory and (ii) Linear Logic
     (Taught by the Logic Group, with Guests: Thomas Ehrhard
     (Marseille), Robert Seely (McGill), Robin Cockett (Calgary), et al)

Week 2: (i) Game Semantics and (ii) Concurrency Theory. The courses
     are given by Samson Abramsky and Guy McCusker for (i), and Glynn
     Winskel for (ii).

Workshops:

The program culminates in the 18th annual IEEE Logic in Computer
Science (LICS2003) meeting and LICS workshops, held from June 21-27 at
U. Ottawa.  For the latter, see http://www.dcs.ed.ac.uk/home/als/lics/.
