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 Participation & Schedule 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. The conference will have 4 invited speakers: Eric Goubault (CEA/Saclay) Guy McCusker (Sussex) Peter Selinger (Ottawa) Paul Syverson (Naval Research Laboratory) GRADUATE STUDENT PRECONFERENCE One new feature that CTCS will have this year is a "preconference" from August 12-14. This is supported in part by a grant from CRM, the Centre de Recherches Mathematiques (Univ. of Montreal). The goal is to prepare students for CTCS, through mini-courses in the basic areas underlying the fields of the conference. The schedule is below.
