Algebra, Meaning, and Computation: A Festschrift Symposium in Honor of Joseph Goguen THIRD CALL FOR PARTICIPATION !!!URGENT: HOTEL ROOMS MUST BE BOOKED SOON!!! Joseph Goguen is one of the most prominent computer scientists worldwide. His numerous research contributions span many topics and have changed the way we think about many concepts. Our views about data types, programming languages, software specification and verification, computational behavior, logics in computer science, semiotics, interface design, multimedia, and consciousness, to mention just some of the areas, have all been enriched in fundamental ways by his ideas. A Symposium to honor Joseph Goguen on his 65th birthday on June 28, 2006 will be held at the Computer Science and Engineering Department of the University of California in San Diego (UCSD) in June 27-29 2006. There will also be an IFIP WG1.3 meeting co-located with the Symposium that will take place on June 30. Leading researchers in the different areas spanned by Joseph Goguen's work have contributed over thirty papers to the Festschrift volume being published by Springer-Verlag. These papers will be presented at the Symposium in a three full day programme. A Symposium banquet is planned for June 28 to celebrate Joseph Goguen's 65th Birthday. The Symposium organizers welcome participation by any members of the scientific community who would like to take part in this important event. LOCAL INFORMATION AND VENUE The UCSD Campus is located in La Jolla, on top of a spectacular mesa overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The Symposium, and also the IFIP WG1.3 meeting, will be held at UCSD's Computer Science Department. The town of La Jolla is one of the most beautiful in the California Coast. Weather in June should be very pleasant, typically around 25 degrees Celsius, mostly sunny but possibly with some morning coastal fog. La Jolla is easy to reach from the San Diego Airport (see below). All major US airlines fly into San Diego from other main hubs like Los Angeles, San Francisco, Washington DC, New York, Chicago, Dallas, and so on. The Festschrift Symposium in Honor of Joseph Goguen is being hosted by the Jacobs School of Engineering's Department of Computer Science and Engineering. The meetings will be held in the Computer Science and Engineering Building's main Auditorium, room 1202.
