Journal of Functional Programming: state of play


[------ The Types Forum ------- http://www.dcs.gla.ac.uk/~types ------]

	Journal of Functional Programming: the state of play
	~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

		http://www.dcs.gla.ac.uk/jfp

We are delighted to announce the publication of a special issue of JFP
5(3) on applications of functional programming.  Edited by Rinus
Plasmeijer and Pieter Hartel, it contains six papers on applications
ranging from photon transport to text retrieval, from spreadsheets to
solid modelling.

The titles of the papers are given below.  You can see their abstracts too
on the above URL.  (You'll also now find titles and abstracts for the whole
of Volumes 4 and 5, and titles for Volumes 1-3.)

We woul like to take this opportunity to encourage you to

		** submit papers to JFP **

At one point we had so many submissions that we built up rather a long print
queue, but Cambridge University Press have agreed to move from 4 to 6 issues
a year (starting in 1996), and to make them big issues, which has
effectively solved the print-queue problem.

We offer a 12-week turnaround to a decision about submitted papers, and
the delay from final manuscript to publication is now dropping fast (our
target is 3 months).

New WWW Page: Logic-Related Conferences


[------ The Types Forum ------- http://www.dcs.gla.ac.uk/~types ------]

		      LOGIC-RELATED CONFERENCES

	  http://www.research.att.com/lics/logic-confs.html

  Over the last few years there has been a proliferation of
conferences that overlap in their technical scope with the Symposium
on Logic in Computer Science (LICS).  These conferences are scheduled
with no prior coordination among them, which results quite often in
conflicts.  For example, in 1995 LICS and FPCA were at exactly the
same time and the same place with no prior coordination.

  In an attempt to address this situation, the LICS organization will
maintain a WWW page of conferences (including workshops) that have an
overlap with logic in computer science.  The first half of the page is
a list of conferences and associated contacts.  The second half is an
incomplete list of dates, some tentative and some fixed, for upcoming
meetings of these conferences.

  If you are an organizer of one of these conferences and have some
information you would like included in the page, please send mail to
lics-request@...

Full abstraction for PCF

                     ====ABSTRACT====
An intensional model for the programming language PCF is described, in
which the types of PCF are interpreted by games, and the terms by
certain ``history-free'' strategies.
This model is shown to capture definability in PCF. More precisely,
every compact strategy in the model is definable
in a certain simple extension of PCF. We then introduce an intrinsic
preorder on strategies, and show that it
satisfies some remarkable properties, such that the intrinsic preorder
on function types coincides with the pointwise preorder. We then obtain
an order-extensional fully abstract model of PCF by quotienting the
intensional model by the intrinsic preorder. This is the first

SEMANTICAL INVESTIGATIONS OF LINEAR LOGIC


[------ The Types Forum ------- http://www.dcs.gla.ac.uk/~types ------]

Sirs,
 A paper on
 SEMANTICAL INVESTIGATIONS OF LINEAR LOGIC
 by A.Ursini
 is available in hard copy from the author. I have no possibility
 presently of putting it on a e-mail box.
 It deals with the phase-like, Kripke  and algebraic semantics of
 commutative, cyclic,non commutative, classical or intuitionistic 
 linear logics.

This is to announce the availability of the paper

    A Type-Theoretic Basis for an Object-Oriented Refinement Calculus

by

    ftp://ftp.abo.fi/pub/cs/papers/emil/oorefcalc.ps.gz

or via my Web page:

A longer abstract of the paper follows.

Abstract

This paper addresses the issue of giving a formal semantics to an
object-oriented programming and specification language. Object-oriented
constructs considered are objects with attributes and methods,
encapsulation of attributes, subtyping, bounded type parameters,
classes, and inheritance. Classes are distinguished from object types.

            March 29 - April 2, 1996  

The Scientific Program Committee is seeking contributed

its applications and related fields. An extended abstract 
or preliminary report of up to 10 (ten) pages should be 
electronically submitted  ***BY JANUARY 19, 1996***  to 
the anonymous ftp-site abelard.flet.mita.keio.ac.jp and 
the directory /Linear96/submission. 

The paper should be written in latex. The author is reqired to
