Call for Papers Special Issue of Theoretical Computer Science (TCS) on Categories in Computer Science Editors: J. Adamek, M. Escardo, M. Hofmann The eighth conference on Category Theory and Computer Science (CTCS'99) has been held in Edinburgh 10-12 September 1999. A special issue of the journal Theoretical Computer Science (TCS) will be devoted to journal versions of papers presented at that conference and other papers on the same topic. Submissions will undergo the usual refereeing process for TCS; authors of submissions are not required to have participated at CTCS'99. theory, it is recognized that the area is highly interdisciplinary. Topics of interest include but are not limited to category-theoretic aspects of the following: concurrent and distributed systems, constructive mathematics, declarative programming and term rewriting, domain theory and topology, linear logic, models of computation, program logics, data refinement, and specification, programming language semantics, type theory".
