An international autumn school "Proof and Computation" will be held from 3rd to 8th October 2016 at Aurachhof in Fischbachau near Munich. Its aim is to bring together young researchers in the field of Foundations of Mathematics, Computer Science and Philosophy.
Scope
- Predicative Foundations
- Constructive Mathematics and Type Theory
- Computation in Higher Types
- Extraction of Programs from Proofs
- Algorithmic Aspects in Financial Mathematics
Courses
- Laura Crosilla on Predicativity
- Hajime Ishihara on Constructive Analysis
- Stan Wainer on Computability
- Masahiko Sato on Lambda Calculus
- Kenji Miyamoto on Program Extraction from Proofs
- Andreas Abel on Agda
- Josef Berger on Algorithmic Aspects in Financial Mathematics
Working Groups
There will be an opportunity to form ad-hoc groups working on specific projects, but also to discuss in more general terms the vision of constructing correct programs from proofs.
Applications
Graduate or PhD students and young postdoctoral researches are invited to apply. Applications must be accompanied by a letter of recommendation, preferably from the thesis adviser, and should be sent to Kenji Miyamoto. Deadline for applications: 30th May 2016. Applicants will be notified by 30th June 2016.
Financial Support
The workshop is supported by the Udo Keller Stiftung (Hamburg), the CORCON (PIRSES-GA-2013-612638, Correctness by Construction) programme of the European Commission and a JSPS core-to-core project. Successful applicants will be offered full-board accommodation (excluding drinks by the meals) for the days of the autumn school. There are no funds, however, to reimburse travel or further expenses, which successful applicants will have to cover otherwise.
