abstract algebraic geometry
by Zhaohua Luo 19 May '98

19 May '98

Last year I posted the following research notes on categorical geometry: Abstract algebraic geometry (10/16/97) The language of analytic categories (three parts, 11/4/97, 11/20/97, and 12/20/97) to this list. Recently I started a small page at my home page address: www.iswest.com/~zack which, at present, only contains the slightly modified version (html files) of these notes. The paper "categorical geometry" are still under preparation, and I hope the first three chapters will be available soon. Thanks to all those who showed interests in this project. Zack Luo

Second Call for Papers
by 4th Workshop on Domains 30 Apr '98

30 Apr '98

====================================================== Second Call for Papers ====================================================== Workshop on Domains IV Rolandseck, Germany Oktober 2--4, 1998 ====================================================== The Workshop on Domains is aimed at computer scientist and mathematicians alike who share an active interest in the mathematical foundation of computer science. It will focuse on domains, their application and closely related topics, e.g.~axiomatic and synthetic domain theory. In particular, contributions establishing connections to type theory, recursion theory and topology are welcome. In previous years the workshop was held in Darmstadt (1994 and 1995), Braunschweig (1996) and Munich (1997). This year it will take place in Haus Humboldtstein, Remagen-Rolandseck (Germany), a nice last century villa overlooking the beautiful Rhine valley. There will be a number of guest speakers including *** Thomas Ehrhard (IML, Marseille) *** *** Dag Normann (Oslo Univ. ) *** *** Giovanni Sambin (Padova Univ.) *** If you are interested in signing up for a talk, please send a title and an abstract of your intended presentation to mailto:wd4@informatik.uni-siegen.de by MAY 15, 1998.

IPL (FINAL) Call For Participation

20 Apr '98

*FINAL* CALL FOR PARTICIPATION Workshop on Internet Programming Languages in conjunction with the IEEE Computer Society International Conference on Computer Languages 1998 Loyola University Chicago Chicago, USA http://www.math.luc.edu/iccl98 May 13, 1998 The Internet has long provided a global computing infrastructure but, for most of its history, there has not been much interest in programming languages tailored specifically to that infrastructure. More recently, the Web has produced a widespread interest in global resources and, as a consequence, in global programmability. It is now commonplace to discuss how programs can be made to run effectively and securely over the Internet. This workshop will provide a forum for the discussions of all aspects of computer languages for wide-area systems, including specification languages, programming languages, semantics, implementation technologies, and application experience.

Please mention ICCL/Loyola University to get the special group rate. The hotels require a room deposit guaranteed with a major credit card. Rooms for Saturday night (May 16) are very limited because of the annual Chicago Restaurant Convention. Therefore, attendees SHOULD BOOK THEIR HOTEL ROOM FIRST and only then purchase a plane ticket second. The Talbott is only a two-minute walk away from the conference site but has fewer rooms available. The Days Inn is a fifteen-minute walk away from the conference site. Please see the ICCL web page http://www.math.luc.edu/iccl98/ for details. TRANSPORTATION United Airlines is offering a 10% discount off the unrestricted mid-week coach fare or 5% discount off the lowest applicable fares, including First Class, to all attendees of ICCL '98. This special offer applies to travel on domestic segments of all United Airlines, United Express and Shuttle-by-United flights. See the ICCL web page for details.
