Programme

Saturday, April 14

08.45 – 09.00: Welcome

09.00 – 10.00: Invited Talk (chair: Ugo Dal Lago)

Matteo Mio. A Random Walk on Games.

I will discuss some basic ideas of the theory of infinite games (from set--theory) and some very early ideas of game semantics (from computer science) that, together, inspired my own work on stochastic games.

Simon Castellan, Pierre Clairambault and Nobuko Yoshida. Using session types to understand the gap between synchronous syntaxes and asynchronous game semantics.

Jules Hedges and Josef Bolt. Bisimulations of open games

Guilhem Jaber and Nikos Tzevelekos. An overview of game semantics for polymorphism

12.30 – 14.00: Lunch

14.00 – 16.00: Session 2

Sunday, April 15

09.00 – 10.00: Invited Talk

Ulrich Schoepp. The Geometry of Interaction as a Module System.

The Geometry of Interaction (GoI) was originally introduced by Girard in the context of Linear Logic. A number of its recent applications concern the interpretation and analysis of functional programming languages, with applications ranging from hardware synthesis to quantum computation. In this talk I will argue that for such programming-language applications it is useful to understand the GoI as a module system in the style of Standard ML. The structure of particle-style GoI models is naturally expressed by such a module system. This view provides a familiar formalism for working with the GoI that abstracts from inessential implementation details and that is convenient for implementation tasks. With this view, the GoI becomes a method of implementing ML-style module systems for a wide range of first-order programming languages. It can be considered as a higher-order generalisation of systems-level linking. The relation between the GoI and the proposed module system is established by a linear version of the F-ing modules approach of Rossberg, Russo and Dreyer that uses as new decomposition of the exponential rules of Linear Logic.

10.00 – 10.30: Coffee Break
