as operational semantics, type theory, model checking, concurrency
theory, language implementation, models of distributed systems,
security, and categorical models of computation.

The FPL group faculty interests include:

  Alan Jeffrey: Semantic and categorical models of programming
  languages, typed semantics for concurrent and distributed systems,

Post-doc in security and static analysis

POST-DOC in SECURITY and STATIC PROGRAM ANALYSIS at INRIA 

A 2-year post-doctoral position is available in the
Lande research group at IRISA/INRIA Rennes. 

The position is funded by the European IST project "SECSAFE"
that also includes partners from Imperial College (GB), University of
Aarhus (DK) and Trusted Logic (F). 

The goal of the project is to develop formal techniques for verifying
security properties of programs. Activities of the project include 
- formal specification of security properties, 
- design of static analyses for security, 
- developing semantic foundations for security.
These techniques will be applied to mobile code and to the Java Card
language for programming smart cards. For more information on the
project, consult http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~siveroni/secsafe. The
successful candidate is expected to have experience in one or more of
the areas of semantics of programming languages, verification, static
program analysis and security. 

The research is to be conducted at IRISA, a joint research institute
between INRIA, CNRS, Univ. of Rennes and INSA, located in Rennes,
France (http://www.ville-rennes.fr) . The successful candidate will
join the Lande research team (http://www.irisa.fr/lande).

Lipari Summer School 2001

    [[ -- Apologies for multiple copies of this message  -- \vs ]]

              Foundations of Wide Area Network Programming
              ============================================
			(second announcement)

       13th International School for Computer Science Researchers
                    Lipari Island, July 1-14, 2001

The 13th School for Computer Science Researchers addresses Ph.D. students
and young researchers who want to get exposed to the forefront of research
activity in the field of Wide Area Network Programming, with particular
reference to the future of the World Wide Web and to issues of distributed
architectures, software engineering, object oriented design, security,
mobility, coordination, collaborative work and retrieval/handling of
semistructured data.

The school will be held in the beautiful surroundings of the island of
Lipari. Participants will be arranged in a comfortable hotel at very
special rates. The conference room (in the same hotel) is air conditioned
and equipped with all conference materials. Special areas are reserved to
students for the afternoon coursework and study. The island of Lipari can
be easily reached from Milazzo, Palermo, Naples, Messina and Reggio
Calabria by ferry or hydrofoil (50 minutes from Milazzo). The organization
provides a round-trip bus from Catania airport (the third most important
airport in Italy) to Milazzo hydrofoil terminal and viceversa. A
proficiency final exam at the end of each chosen course is mandatory for
students. A social tour to Stromboli with spectacular vulcano fireworks
will be held on Sunday, July 8.

         Achim Jung, University of Birmingham, England 

A couple of additional invited speakers may be included.
In addition to the invited talks, a mini course will be given by  Abbas
Edalat on applications of domain theory in mathematics. There will be a
special session devoted to types, process algebra and concurrency,
organized by Yuxi Fu. Contributed talks are solicited in the general area
of mathematical structures for programming and computation.  
Topics include, but not limited to:

        Topological and logical aspects of domains
        Categories of domains and powerdomains
        Partial orders and metric spaces
        Applications in databases, mathematics, and AI

APPSEM Workshop


                       THIRD APPSEM WORKSHOP
                        19.-22. March, 2001
                         Darmstadt, Germany

>From 19th to 22nd March the third workshop of the ESPRIT Working Group 
Applied Semantics (APPSEM) will be organized by the Darmstadt site of APPSEM
at a place near Darmstadt. (Darmstadt itself is very close to Frankfurt 
airport).

The intention of the workshop is to present the achievements of our working
group and to discuss new perspectives in particular of the application of 
semantic methods to problems arising from applications.
There will be several invited talks as e.g. by S.Abramsky, A.Gordon, 
H.Herbelin, P.O'Hearn, G.Winskel.
Participation of interested people not formally belonging to APPSEM is 
definitely encouraged.  

More details (in particular concerning registration) can be found at

        www.mathematik.tu-darmstadt.de/appsem2001

Hoping to see you in March,
