Dear all, A reminder that the 15th Wessex theory seminar will take place on Thursday 19 July at the University of Birmingham. The Wessex Theory Seminars are a series of workshops focused on theoretical computer science, and in particular mathematical foundations of programming languages. It is designed to be a joint seminar of Mathematics and Computer Science departments, and industrial collaborators. As you can see from the programme, the talks include proof theory, category theory, semantics, automata, security, complexity and logic. Truly something for everybody if not quite a few things. If you plan to attend please reply to this message so I can put you on the attendance list. As usual there is funding available to reimburse travel expenses etc. Further information, including abstracts, can be found at the website: https://wiki.bath.ac.uk/display/wessex/15th+Wessex+Theory+Seminar regards, Paul --- PROGRAMME 11:15 coffee 11:45 Umberto Rivieccio (Birmingham).
