W o r k s h o p A n n o u n c e m e n t D O M A I N S IX http://www.informatics.sussex.ac.uk/events/domains9/ University of Sussex, Brighton, 22-24 September 2008 INTRODUCTION The Workshop on Domains is aimed at computer scientists and mathematicians alike who share an interest in the mathematical foundations of computation. The workshop will focus on domains, their applications and related topics. Previous meetings were held in Darmstadt (94,99,04), Braunschweig (96), Munich (97), Siegen (98), Birmingham (02) and Novosibirsk (07). FORMAT The emphasis is on the exchange of ideas between participants similar in style to Dagstuhl seminars. In particular, talks on subjects presented at other conferences and workshops are acceptable. INVITED SPEAKERS (confirmed) Jean Goubault-Larrecq LSV/ENS Cachan & CNRS Martin Hyland Cambridge University John Longley University of Edinburgh Andrew Pitts Cambridge University More invited speakers to be announced soon! SCOPE Domain theory has had applications to programming language semantics and logics (lambda-calculus, PCF, LCF), recursion theory (Kleene-Kreisel countable functionals), general topology (injective spaces, function spaces, locally compact spaces, Stone duality), topological algebra (compact Hausdorff semilattices) and analysis (measure, integration, dynamical systems). Moreover, these applications are related - for example, Stone duality gives rise to a logic of observable properties of computational processes. As such, domain theory is highly interdisciplinary. Topics of interaction with domain theory for this workshop include, but are not limited to: program semantics program logics probabilistic computation exact computation over the real numbers lambda calculus games models of sequential computation constructive mathematics recursion theory realizability real analysis and computability topology, metric spaces and domains locale theory category theory topos theory type theory SUBMISSION OF ABSTRACTS One-page abstracts need to be submitted to domains9@sussex.ac.uk Shortly after an abstract is submitted (usually two or three weeks), the authors will be notified by the programme committee. The criterion for acceptance is relevance to the meeting. In particular, talks on subjects presented at other conferences and workshops are acceptable. DEADLINE Abstracts will be dealt with on a first-come/first-served basis. We expect potential speakers to express the intention to give a talk by the end of June. REGISTRATION Further details about the local arrangements will be provided soon. ACCOMMODATION The workshop will be held at the University of Sussex at Falmer, Brighton (UK). Newly built halls of residence will be available to workshop participants. Further information on travel, accommodation and places of local interest will be announced closer to the workshop. PROGRAMME COMMITTEE Martin Escardo University of Birmingham Achim Jung University of Birmingham (Co-Chair) Klaus Keimel TU Darmstadt (Co-Chair) Bernhard Reus University of Sussex (Co-Chair) Thomas Streicher TU Darmstadt ORGANIZATION COMMITTEE Bernhard Reus University of Sussex PUBLICATION We plan to publish proceedings of the workshop in a special volume of a journal. There will be a call for papers after the workshop. The papers will be refereed according to normal publication standards. URL http://www.informatics.sussex.ac.uk/events/domains9/
