FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS

CTCS'04 is the 10th Conference on Category Theory and Computer Science. The purpose of the conference series is the advancement of the foundations of computing using the tools of category theory. The emphasis is upon applications of category theory, but it is recognized that the area is highly interdisciplinary.

Typical topics of interest include, but are not limited to, category-theoretic aspects of the following:

• coalgebras and computing
• concurrent and distributed systems
• constructive mathematics
• declarative programming and term rewriting
• domain theory and topology
• foundations of computer security
• linear logic
• modal and temporal logics
• models of computation
• program logics, data refinement, and specification
• programming language semantics
• type theory

Previous meetings have been held in Guildford (Surrey), Edinburgh (twice), Manchester, Paris, Amsterdam, Cambridge, S. Margherita Ligure (Genova), and Ottawa.

The proceedings of the conference will be published as a special issue of ENTCS (Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science).

Invited Speakers:

• Francois Bergeron
• Martin Hyland
• Robin Milner
• Andrew Pitts
• Thomas Streicher

SUMMER SCHOOL

Inspired by the success of the graduate student preconference of CTCS'02 in Ottawa, the CTCS of this year will have a similar event: A summer school from August 9-11. The goal is to prepare students - both graduate and undergraduate, with basic knowledge of category theory - for CTCS, through mini-courses in the basic areas underlying some of the fields of the conference. We anticipate offering courses in among others the following areas:

• Coalgebras
• Game Semantics
• Categorical Models for Concurrency
• Operational Semantics in Concurrency
