FMCS 2008
16th Workshop on Foundational Methods in Computer Science
Dalhousie University, Halifax, Canada
May 30 - June 1, 2008
http://www.mathstat.dal.ca/~selinger/fmcs2008/
FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT
* * *
Foundational Methods in Computer Science is an annual workshop
bringing together researchers in mathematics and computer science with
a focus on the application of category theory in computer science.
This year's meeting will be hosted in the Department of Mathematics
and Statistics at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Canada.
There will be an informal welcome reception in the evening of May 29.
The scientific program starts on May 30, and consists of a day of
tutorials aimed at students and newcomers to category theory, as well
as a day and a half of research talks. The meeting ends at mid-day on
June 1.
FMCS 2008 takes place one week after MFPS 2008 (which will be held at
the University of Pennsylvania). We hope that this will enable and
encourage participants from overseas to attend both conferences!
Research talks
There will be some invited presentations, but the majority of the
talks are solicited from the participants. If you wish to give a talk
please send a title and abstract to fmcs2008@mathstat.dal.ca. Time
slots are limited, so please register early if you would like to be
considered for a talk.
Student support
Graduate student participation is particularly encouraged at
FMCS. Students will pay a reduced registration fee. We will also be
able to provide limited financial support; if you are interested in
this, please email us at fmcs2008@mathstat.dal.ca.
Special session
There will be a special session in honor of Ernie Manes' 65th
birthday. The special session organizer is Phil Mulry.
Accommodations
We have reserved a block of rooms at the King's College residences.
The rate, including taxes, are $37.37 per night for a single room,
and $56.04 for a double room. Reservations can be made by sending an
e-mail to conferences@admin.ukings.ns.ca and mentioning "FMCS 2008".
Please make your reservations early to ensure availability.
Registration
Please register for the meeting by emailing fmcs2008@mathstat.dal.ca.
There will be a reasonable on-site registration fee to cover meeting
costs.
