[Several of the talks in this workshop involve type systems for
quantum computing. Hence I hope that this announcement is of interest
to the types community. -PS]

			CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

     4th International Workshop on Quantum Programming Languages

  computing. In the last few years, there has been a growing interest
  in logical tools, languages, and semantical methods for analyzing
  quantum computation. These foundational approaches complement the

[TYPES/announce] ph.d. studentship

[ The Types Forum (announcements only), 
     http://lists.seas.upenn.edu/mailman/listinfo/types-announce ]

At University Paul Sabatier (Toulouse-3), Toulouse, France
 a ph.d. studentship
is available. There is no restrictions concerning
nationality, but there is an age limit ( no more than
25 ans in 2006.) Please, notice very short delay: 

- applications before 20.06

- interview 23.06

contact: soloviev@...

Theme:
The categories with structure including distinguished functors
and natural transformations (subject to certain identities)
are considered, such as the Symmetric Monoidal Closed Categories
with tensor $\otimes$ and hom-functor as distinguished functors, 
associativity and commutativity of $\otimes$ etc. The "critical mass"
of theoretical results concerning the commutativity of diagrams
in such categories demands the development of adequate computer support
and software. The software should contain certain automated
and interactive verification procedures, in particular automated
procedures using the algorithms that are already known
and interactive procedures for extraction of consequences
of particular properties of concrete categories (e.g., categories
of modules). The theme is closely connected with proof theory
and commutative algebra. The competences in programming are required.

[TYPES/announce] Post Doc position Radboud University Nijmegen

[ The Types Forum (announcements only), 
     http://lists.seas.upenn.edu/mailman/listinfo/types-announce ]

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Radboud University Nijmegen - Institute for Computing and Information
Science

One 3 year post-doc position in the NWO-sponsored project

ARPA:    Advancing the Real use of Proof Assistants
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

We are seeking one researcher at the level of Postdoc for a period of 
three years, starting from September 1 2006

Candidates should have
-  Good knowledge of at least one and preferably more of the following
     fields: Hybrid Systems, Formal Methods, Proof Assistants and
             Automated Reasoning.
- A finished PhD in computer science, mathematics or logic

Description of the project
--------------------------
Proof Assistants help the user in developing a theory (stating
definitions and lemmas), modelling systems (describing constructions,
giving definitions) and verifying properties about these systems (giving
proofs). So, Proof Assistants are very generic tools to support Formal
Methods. Their genericity makes them less efficient than tools that are
especially geared towards a specific formal method. On the other hand
they have a very precise semantics, which makes a the certainty of a

[TYPES/announce] IFIP WG 2.2 Anniversary Meeting - Call for Participation

[ The Types Forum (announcements only), 
     http://lists.seas.upenn.edu/mailman/listinfo/types-announce ]

Please post.
-m

=======================================================

       CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

     FORMAL DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAMMING CONCEPTS:
          IFIP WG 2.2 Anniversary Meeting
               11-13 September 2006
                  Udine, Italy

          http://www.dimi.uniud.it/ifip06/

The IFIP Working Group 2.2 was established in 1965 as one of the first
IFIP Working Groups. The primary aim of the WG is to explain
programming concepts through the development, examination and
comparison of various formal models of these concepts. The WG thus
explores the theory and the practice of formal methods for the
specification, verification and the design of software and systems.

Earliest members of the WG included Dana Scott, Erwin Engeler, Jaco de
Bakker, Raymond Abrial, Peter Lauer, Manfred Paul, Erich Neuhold,
Maurice Nivat, Ed Blum. Throughout the years, members of the WG shaped
various styles of semantics, comprising denotational, operational,
algebraic, and logical semantics.

*******************************************************************

     2nd International Workshop on Automated
          Specification and Verification
               of Web Systems (WWV'06)

            Cyprus, November 15-19, 2006

*******************************************************************

SCOPE

The  increased  complexity  of Web sites and the explosive growth of
Web-based applications has turned their design and construction into
a  challenging problem. Nowadays, many companies have diverted their
Web   sites   into   interactive,   completely-automated,  Web-based
applications (such  as  Amazon, on-line banking, or travel agencies)
with  a  high complexity that requires appropriate specification and
verification  techniques and tools. Systematic, formal approaches to
the  analysis  and  verification  can  address  the problems of this
particular  domain  with  automated  and  reliable  tools  that also
incorporate semantic aspects.
