Call for participation
EEF Global Computing Summer School
Edinburgh, Scotland, 7th to 11th July 2003
http://www.lfcs.informatics.ed.ac.uk/events/global-computing/
DESCRIPTION
The aim of the EEF Global Computing Summer School is to provide
researchers with insights into the problems of the design and
construction of global computing systems. Global computation is an
active field of research which includes distributed and mobile
computation and addresses the foundational problems in the area such
as security, access control, resource control, discovery, architecture
and decentralised organisation. The fundamental tools used to analyse
and build such systems are type systems, process algebras, modelling
languages and state-of-the-art programming languages and environments.
