Workshop on Coalgebra, Horn Clause Logic Programming and Types
28-29 November 2016, Edinburgh, UK
===================================================
The workshop marks the end of the EPSRC Grant Coalgebraic Logic Programming for Type Inference, by K. Komendantskaya and J. Power and will consist of two parts:
Part 1 - Semantics: Lawvere theories and Coalgebra in Logic and Functional
Programming
Part 2 - Programming languages: Horn Clause Logic for Type Inference in
Functional Languages and Beyond
We invite all colleagues working in related areas to present and share their results. We envisage a friendly meeting with many stimulating discussions, and therefore welcome presentations of already published research as well as novel results. Authors of original contributions will be invited to submit their papers to EPTCS post-proceedings. We especially encourage early career researchers to present and participate.
=======================
Venue
-----
The workshop will be held at the International Center for Mathematical Sciences,
in Edinburgh city center, just 2 minutes walk from the Informatics Forum.
