[ This graduate school is likely to be of interest to the Haskell community, and in particular includes a course on Advanced Functional Programming - Graham Hutton ] ************************************************************* Midlands Graduate School 2006 in the Foundations of Computing ************************************************************* http://www.cs.le.ac.uk/~mgs2006 The Midlands Graduate School is taking place 8 - 12 April 2006 at the University of Leicester, UK. The School provides an intensive course of lectures on the Foundations of Computing. It is very well established, having run annually for the past six years, and has always proved a popular and successful event. This year we have Luke Ong, Oxford University and Thomas Streicher, Darmstadt University as guest lecturers. The lectures are aimed at graduate students, typically in their first or second year of study for a PhD. However, the school is open to anyone who is interested in learning more about mathematical computing foundations, and we especially invite participants from UK universities and from sites participating in the APPSEM working group. Foundational courses: R Crole Leicester Operational Semantics P Levy Birmingham Typed Lambda Calculus D Pattinson Leicester Category Theory Advanced courses: T Altenkirch Nottingham Quantum Programming M Escardo Birmingham Operational Domain Theory & Topology H Nilsson Nottingham Advanced Functional Programming L Ong Oxford Game Semantics T Streicher Darmstadt Constructive Logic E Tuosto Leicester Concurrency We expect to have some grants for UK students, while APPSEM funds can be used to support students from APPSEM affiliated sites. For further details and registration please visit http://www.cs.le.ac.uk/~mgs2006 Please register soon! Places and accommodation will be allocated on a first-come, first-serve basis.
