CALL FOR PARTICIPATION: Algebra and Coalgebra in Computer Science, 29 Aug - 2 Sep 2011, UK
Contact: calco2011@ecs.soton.ac.uk
4th International Conference on Algebra and Coalgebra in Computer Science, Winchester, UK
CALCO aims to bring together researchers and practitioners with interests in foundational aspects, and both traditional and emerging uses of algebras and coalgebras in computer science. This is a high-level, bi-annual conference formed by joining the forces and reputations of CMCS (the International Workshop on Coalgebraic Methods in Computer Science), and WADT (the Workshop on Algebraic Development Techniques). Previous CALCO editions took place in Swansea (Wales, 2005), Bergen (Norway, 2007) and Udine (Italy, 2009). The fourth edition will be held in the city of Winchester (UK), a historic cathedral city and the ancient capital of Wessex and the Kingdom of England. CALCO 2011 will be preceded by the CALCO Young Researchers Workshop, CALCO-Jnr, dedicated to presentations by PhD students and by those who completed their doctoral studies within the past few years. The programme of CALCO will also comprise presentations of tools based on algebraic and/or coalgebraic principles, that have been selected in the context of a dedicated workshop, CALCO-Tools. -- INVITED SPEAKERS -- * Vincent Danos (UK): Energy as Syntax * Javier Esparza (Germany): Solving Fixed-Point Equations by Derivation Tree Analysis * Philippa Gardner (UK): Abstract Local Reasoning about Program Modules * Gopal Gupta (USA): Infinite Computation, Coinduction and Computational Logic -- CALCO ACCEPTED PAPERS -- * Clement Fumex, Neil Ghani and Patricia Johann.

PVeStA: A Parallel Statistical Model Checking and Quantitative Analysis Tool -- LOCATION -- Winchester is a beautiful historic city in southern England, known for its 11th-century cathedral and 12th-century castle. It is located just under an hour by rail from London Waterloo, and 15 minutes by road or rail from Southampton Airport. London Heathrow is 50 miles away and London Gatwick 72 miles away. -- GRANTS -- CALCO has limited funds to support the attendance of PhD students.
