20 - 21 June 2023, Algebra, Categories and Logic in Computing (ACLiC), St Erme, France

کارگاه جبر، رسته ها و منطق در علوم کامپیوتر

Algebra, category theory and logic have traditionally played an important role in our understanding of computing. Recently, there has been a surge in new ways of understanding how these disciplines can help in tackling challenges in the theory and applications of computing. Examples are: combining machine learning and proof-theoretic approaches to natural language; reasoning about multi-agent systems; developing programming languages and compositional models; and specifying and analyzing systems and protocols.

The aim of this workshop is to bring together both leading and upcoming researchers who use such approaches, with the goal of promoting collaborations across the different disciplines.

This workshop is the first event in a program aimed at offering Farsi-speaking mathematicians — as well as any mathematician interested in building cross-cultural connections — opportunities to build a network and receive mentoring from leading Farsi-speaking mathematicians. The workshop will be held in a bilingual Farsi-English setting, and participants do not need to be fluent in both languages to attend.

Funding: Expenses will be paid for accepted participants: bed and board is included, as well as travel expenses for an average of 300 euros per person.

Confirmed mentors: Farhad Arbab (Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica, Amsterdam), Mehdi Dastani (Utrecht University) and Mehrnoosh Sadrzadeh (University College London).

Deadline for applications: 25 April 2023

Location: St Erme, France

Dates: 20-21 June 2023, with arrival on 19th and departure on 22nd.
