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) Andrew Pitts Cambridge University John Longley University of Edinburgh Martin Hyland Cambridge University Jean Goubault-Larrecq LSV/ENS Cachan & CNRS More speakers to be announced nearer to the time. 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 should be submitted now to domains9@sussex.ac.uk Shortly after an abstract is submitted (usually one or two 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. *** Abstracts will be dealt with on a first-come/first-served basis! *** *** So please submit soon to avoid disappointment. *** DEADLINE 1 July 2008 REGISTRATION Further details about the local arrangements will be provided soon. PhD students or participants from Eastern Europe who think they need financial support to be able to attend should contact the PC. Depending on the funding, subsistence costs might be (partially) covered for those participants. ACCOMMODATION The workshop will be held at the University of Sussex at Falmer, Brighton. Newly built halls of residence will be available to workshop participants. Further information on travel, accommodation and places of local interest will be provided at a later date. PROGRAMME COMMITTEE Martin Escardo University of Birmingham Achim Jung (Co-Chair) University of Birmingham Klaus Keimel (Co-Chair) Darmstadt University Bernhard Reus (Co-Chair) University of Sussex Thomas Streicher Darmstadt University ORGANIZATION COMMITTEE Bernhard Reus University of Sussex PUBLICATION We plan to publish proceedings of the workshop in 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/
