======== CALL FOR PARTICIPATION SEVENTH SYMPOSIUM ON COMPOSITIONAL STRUCTURES (SYCO 7)
Tallinn University of Technology, Estonia 30-31 March 2020
http://events.cs.bham.ac.uk/syco/7/ ========
The Symposium on Compositional Structures (SYCO) is an interdisciplinary series of meetings aiming to support the growing community of researchers interested in the phenomenon of compositionality, from both applied and abstract perspectives, and in particular where category theory serves as a unifying common language. Previous SYCO events have been held at University of Birmingham, University of Strathclyde, University of Oxford, Chapman University, and University of Leicester.
The next SYCO, to be held at Tallinn University of Technology, will host 2 invited talks and 14 contributed talks. Topics range from logical methods in computer science, to higher category theory, through applications of categories in probability and linguistics.
INVITED TALKS ========
* Bartek Klin (University of Warsaw) Monadic monadic second order logic
* Christine Tasson (IRIF, Universite de Paris) The linear-non-linear substitution 2-monad
CONTRIBUTED TALKS ========
* Sivert Aasnaess - Contextuality for circuits * Vikraman Choudhury - Tracking intensional resources using weighted sets and comonads * Elena di Lavore - A proposal for subgame perfection in compositional game theory * Tobias Fritz, Eigil Fjeldgren Rischel - The zero-one laws of Kolmogorov and Hewitt-Savage in categorical probability * Lukas Heidemann - Frames in pretriangulated dg-categories * Nick Hu - External traced monoidal categories * Maxime Lucas - Rewriting strategies as contracting homotopies * Violeta Martins de Freitas - Life in arrows: an introduction to applied category theory * Dylan McDermott, Alan Mycroft - On the relation between call-by-value and call-by-name * Michael Moortgat, Mehrnoosh Sadrzadeh, Gijs Wijnholds - A Frobenius algebraic analysis for parasitic gaps * Olivier Peltre - Homological algebra for message-passing algorithms * Alex Rice - Coinductive invertibility in higher categories * Julian Salamanca Tellez - Distributive laws over the powerset * Niels van der Weide - Constructing finitary 1-truncated higher inductive types as groupoid quotients
