MFPS Resgistration Information
[------ The Types Forum ------- http://www.dcs.gla.ac.uk/~types ------]
Dear Colleagues,
This is the latest update about MFPS 12, the Twelfth Workshop on
the Mathematical Foundations of Programming Semantics. MFPS will take
place on the campus of the University of Colorado in Boulder from June
3 to June 5, 1996. This series of meetings has the goal of bringing
together mathematicians and theoretical computer scientists to discuss
problems of common interest and to explore common areas of research.
MFPS has focused particularly on programming semantics and related
issues, including, for example, linear logic and related topics. The
invited speakers for MFPS 12 are:
Peter Freyd (Penn),
Mel Fitting (CUNY),
Matthew Hennessy (Sussex),
Gerard Huet (Inria),
Andre Scedrov (Penn) and
Jeannette Wing (CMU).
In addition, there will be one special session during the meeting.
This is a workshop year for MFPS, which means that the remainder of
the program will be made up of talks by participants. The slots for
these talks will be allotted on a first-come, first-served basis.
As with past MFPS Workshops, the Proceedings of the meeting will
consist of journal-length papers submitted by participants after the
meeting, and dealing with topics relevant to the MFPS theme. These
papers will be published as a special issue of Theoretical Computer
Science; as such the papers will be refereed to the usual high
standards of TCS. More details about this aspect will be provided at
the meeting.
Also as in the past, we have received some funding from the Office
of Naval Research. While the funding is limited, we especially
encourage women and minorities, as well as graduate students, to
inquire about possible support to attend the meeting.
The Organizing Committee for the MFPS series includes Stephen
Brookes (CMU), Michael Main (Colorado), Austin Melton (Michigan Tech),
Michael Mislove (Tulane) and David Schmidt (Kansas State). The
Co-chairmen for MFPS 12 are Michael Main and Michael Mislove.
Updated information about the meeting can be obtained by accessing
the MFPS 12 Home Page (http://www.math.tulane.edu/mfps12.html). Those
who do not have access to the World Wide Web can obtain updates by
sending email to mfps@math.tulane.edu.
