Invited Speakers for the CTCS 2004 Conference: * Francois Bergeron (Quebéc) * Martin Hyland (Cambridge) * Robin Milner (Cambridge) * Andrew Pitts (Cambridge) * Thomas Streicher (Darmstadt) Typical topics at CTCS include 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 conferences have been held in Guildford (Surrey), Edinburgh (twice), Manchester, Paris, Amsterdam, Cambridge, S. Margherita Ligure (Genova), and Ottawa. More information and registration form at: http://www.itu.dk/research/theory/ctcs2004/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CTCS 2004 PhD SUMMER SCHOOL The summer school is aimed at both graduate and undergraduate students, with basic knowledge of category theory. The school will offer mini-courses (5 lectures each) in: * Stone Duality, Coalgebras, and Modal Logic (Alexander Kurz) * Game Semantics (Guy McCusker) * Operational Semantics (Pawel Sobocinski) * Categorical Models for Concurrency (Thomas Hildebrandt) More information and registration at: http://www.itu.dk/research/theory/ctcs2004/summerschool.html -------------------------------------------------------------------- CMCIM 2004 WORKSHOP In between the summer school and the CTCS conference, August 11th, there will be an informal half-day workshop on Categorical Methods in Concurrency, Interaction and Mobility. The workshop has previously been held in connection with CONCUR 2002 and CONCUR 2003. We invite submissions of extended abstracts (less than 5 pages), presenting status reports, recent results, challenges or work in progress. There will be no formal proceedings of the workshop, informal proceedings will be distributed at the workshop. Thus, accepted material may be published elsewhere at a later date. Workshop participation is FREE, but requires registration before 1st of July. Submissions should be sent before 21th of June.
