Yet low level languages, such as machine code, and the compilation of high level languages into a low level ones have traditionally been seen as having little or no essential connection to logic. However, a fundamental discovery of this past decade has been that low level languages are also governed by logical principles. From this key observation has emerged an active and fascinating new research area at the frontier of logic and computer science. The practically-motivated design of logics reflecting the structure of low level languages (such as heaps, registers and code pointers) and low level properties of programs (such as resource usage) goes hand in hand with the some of the most advanced contemporary researches in semantics and proof theory, including classical realizability and forcing, double orthogonality, parametricity, linear logic, game semantics, uniformity, categorical semantics, explicit substitutions, abstract machines, implicit complexity and sublinear programming.

DESCRIPTIO= N OF THE WORKSHOP

It has been understood since the late 1960s that t= ools and structures
arising in mathematical logic and proof theory can u= sefully be applied
to the design of high level programming languages, an= d to the
development of reasoning principles for such languages. Yet low= level
languages, such as machine code, and the compilation of high leve= l
languages into a low level ones have traditionally been seen as having= =
little or no essential connection to logic.

However, a fundame= ntal discovery of this past decade has been that low
level languages ar= e also governed by logical principles. From this key
observation has em= erged an active and fascinating new research area at
the frontier of lo= gic and computer science. The practically-motivated
design of logics r= eflecting the structure of low level languages (such
as heaps, register= s and code pointers) and low level properties of
programs (such as resou= rce usage) goes hand in hand with the some of
the most advanced contempo= rary researches in semantics and proof
theory, including classical reali= zability and forcing, double
orthogonality, parametricity, linear logi= c, game semantics,
uniformity, categorical semantics, explicit substitut= ions, abstract
machines, implicit complexity and sublinear programming.<= /span><= br>The LOLA workshop, affiliated with LICS, will bring together<= span class=3D"Apple-style-span" style=3D"font-family: monospace; ">
