Dear Colleagues, We enclose a reminder of two events to be held in Birmingham this September. Please note that the deadline for early registration and applications for grants is ***30th June***. Please forward to anyone interested. Best wishes, Achim and Marta. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMER SCHOOL and WORKSHOP on NEW PARADIGMS FOR COMPUTATION ON CLASSICAL SPACES Birmingham, 8-10 September 1997 and 11-13 September 1997 The two events are centered around recent developments in the theory of continuous domains as applied to classical problems in Mathematics and Semantics. These developments are based on ground-breaking work by Abbas Edalat who, using earlier work by Jimmie Lawson, Claire Jones and Gordon Plotkin, showed in the early 90's how a classical (locally compact) space could be embedded as the set of maximal points in a domain. This led to a new theory of integration with applications in the theory of Iterated Function Systems, Neural Networks, Statistical Physics, and Fractal Geometry. More recently, Abbas Edalat and Martin Escardo have made substantial progress on the question of exact real number computation. The Summer School is intended to teach the mathematical background of the theory enabling participants to fully take part in the following Workshop. A small number of grants for the Summer School are available for PhD students. Further information can be found at http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/~axj/comprox.html
