Conference on ===================================== Homotopy in Concurrency and Rewriting ===================================== June 9-11, 2015 Palaiseau A conference will take place in École Polytechnique (in Palaiseau, near Paris, France) about tools and methods which originate from geometry in concurrency and rewriting. Details can be found on the dedicated webpage: http://www.lix.polytechnique.fr/Labo/Samuel.Mimram/hcr.html Presentation ============ The conference on directed algebraic topology, concurrency and rewriting aims at bringing together researchers interested in applying methods originating in topology and in higher-dimensional rewriting. It is motivated by the discovery, over the recent years, of many connections between the study of concurrent processes from a topological point of view and rewriting methods and structures. It will be interested in applications of those fields to problems commonly encountered in computer science, in the study of concurrent and distributed processes, in semantics of programming languages, but also to more theoretical questions arising from the study of structures found in algebraic topology such as operads and higher-dimensional categories. Program ======= The program is still preliminary, and should be updated regularly on the webpage.
