EEF Global Computing Summer School, Edinburgh, Scotland, July 2003

Call for participation

EEF Global Computing Summer School

Edinburgh, Scotland, 7th to 11th July 2003

http://www.lfcs.informatics.ed.ac.uk/events/global-computing/

DESCRIPTION

   The  aim  of  the  EEF  Global  Computing  Summer School is to provide
   researchers  with  insights  into  the  problems  of  the  design  and
   construction  of  global  computing  systems. Global computation is an
   active  field  of  research  which  includes  distributed  and  mobile
   computation  and  addresses the foundational problems in the area such
   as security, access control, resource control, discovery, architecture
   and  decentralised organisation. The fundamental tools used to analyse
   and  build  such systems are type systems, process algebras, modelling
   languages and state-of-the-art programming languages and environments.

PROGRAMME

   Speakers and topics

        Ian Clarke (provisional)
                The Free Network Project: Peer-to-peer file sharing

        Andrew Gordon
                Secure global computing with XML Web Services: Theory and
                practice

Term Rewriting Systems

by Terese

Cambridge Tracts in Theoretical Computer Science 55
Cambridge University Press 2003, ISBN 0521391156, Hardback, £90.00
http://titles.cambridge.org/catalogue.asp?isbn=0521391156

906 pages, 273 line diagrams, 500 bibliographical references,
2500 index entries, 334 exercises

solutions to selected exercises will appear on the book website
http://www.cs.vu.nl/~terese

Term rewriting systems (TRSs) developed out of mathematical logic and
are an important part of theoretical computer science. They describe
sequences of discrete transformation steps where one term is replaced
with another. TRSs have applications in many areas, from functional
programming to automatic theorem proving and computer algebra. This book
starts at an elementary level with the earlier chapters providing a
foundation for the rest of the work. The later chapters contain more
advanced material, appearing here for the first time in book form.
Subjects treated include confluence, termination, orthogonality,
completion, lambda calculus, higher-order rewriting, infinitary
rewriting and term graph rewriting. Many exercises are included with

APLAS'03 : Asian Symposium on Programming Languages and Systems

                      Call for Papers

                 The First Asian Symposium on
          Programming Languages and Systems (APLAS'03)
                http://www.jaist.ac.jp/aplas/

                  November 27-29, 2003
Beijing, China. (or Kanazawa, Japan or Nanjing, China. See below.)

----------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTICE ON THE SYMPOSIUM LOCATION AND NEW DATES
While we plan to hold APLAS'03 in Beijing, there is a possibility of
relocation due to SARS. If Beijing will be among the WHO's list of
local transmission areas of SARS as of September 1, then the symposium
will be moved to a city that is free of SARS risk and has airline
connections from major cities that do not go through SARS affected
cities. Our current candidate alternative cities are: Kanazawa, JAPAN
and Nanjing, China. Safety is our priority in choosing the
alternative.

To accommodate the above situation, the symposium will be postponed
by one month. The new important dates are:
  Submission deadline: June 20, 2003
  Notification of acceptance:  August 13, 2003
  Final paper due: September 13, 2003
  Symposium: November 27-29, 2003

DESCRIPTION
APLAS aims at stimulating programming language research by providing a

The summer school consists of eight advanced courses; the workshop is
integral part of the school and takes place in the last two days.

We ask for a participation fee of 100 EUR. A limited number of grants

making sure you include a very brief bio (5-10 lines) stating your
experience, interests, home page, etc.  We will select applicants in
case of excessive demand.  We will provide assistance in finding an
accommodation in Dresden.

BIOCONCUR'03

We apologise if you receive this message more than once.

                   *** Call for Papers ***
                          BIOCONCUR
         Workshop on Concurrent Models in Molecular Biology
                 Marseille, 6 September 2003
                 (affiliated with CONCUR'03)
             http://www.pps.jussieu.fr/~bioconcu/

         *** Deadline for submission: 8 June 2003 ***

Post-genomics Systems Biology deals with complex networks of biochemical
interactions. Pionnering work of Regev, Shapiro and various collaborators has
shown that some varieties of pi-calculus may prove excellent tools for
compositional and modular modeling of these networks. The BioConcur workshop is
meant to help in understanding if and how biological systems may be described,
manipulated and analysed with the methods of Concurrency Theory.

Proceedings of the meeting will be published as a volume in Elsevier's ENTCS
series.

There will be one invited lecture by Luca Cardelli (Microsoft Research,
Cambridge) with title "Membrane Interactions".
