************************************************************* Midlands Graduate School 2006 in the Foundations of Computing and MGS Workshop 2006 ************************************************************* 2nd Call for Participation The Midlands Graduate School is taking place 8 - 12 April 2006 at the University of Leicester, UK. A timetable is now available at our updated website http://www.cs.le.ac.uk/~mgs2006 The School finishes on Wednesday at lunch time. Afterwards a small workshop will be held to give PhD students the opportunity to present their own work. If you are interested send a title and abstract to mgs2006 at mcs.le.ac.uk. The School provides an intensive course of lectures on the Foundations of Computing. It is very well established, having run annually for the past six years, and has always proved a popular and successful event. This year we have Luke Ong, Oxford University and Thomas Streicher, Darmstadt University as guest lecturers. The lectures are aimed at graduate students, typically in their first or second year of study for a PhD. However, the school is open to anyone who is interested in learning more about mathematical computing foundations, and we especially invite participants from UK universities and from sites participating in the APPSEM working group. Foundational courses: R Crole Leicester Operational Semantics P Levy Birmingham Typed Lambda Calculus D Pattinson Leicester Category Theory Advanced courses: T Altenkirch Nottingham Quantum Programming M Escardo Birmingham Operational Domain Theory & Topology H Nilsson Nottingham Advanced Functional Programming L Ong Oxford Game Semantics T Streicher Darmstadt Constructive Logic E Tuosto Leicester Concurrency and Mobility We still have a small number grants for students resident in the UK, while APPSEM funds can be used to support students from APPSEM affiliated sites.
