Workshop on Higher Order Computation:
Types, Complexity, Applications

Institut Henri Poincaré, 16-18 June 2014

In the context of the IHP thematic trimester Semantics of proofs and certified mathematics, we organize an informal workshop on "Higher-order computation: types, complexity, applications", which will be focused on the development of logical and type-based methods for quantitative properties of computation: (implicit) computational complexity, higher-order languages for non-deterministic and probabilistic computation, with their applications to program certification, security, etc.

The idea is to organize a true workshop, focusing primarily on discussing ideas and developing new collaborations, rather than on talks. It is also thought as an occasion to participate to the other events of the IHP trimester. In fact, the workshop falls just after the Semantics of proofs and programs week and just before the Abstraction and Verification in Semantics week. Of the main workshops of the trimester, these are the ones that are thematically closer to the subject of our workshop.

Financial support is provided by the Agence Nationale de la Recherche (ANR), via the Logoi project.

Logistic details

The workshop will be held in Paris, at the Institut Henri Poincaré.

There is no attendance fee.

Coffee breaks will be provided but participants will have to pay for their meals and accommodation.

For lunch, the custom of IHP meetings is to let participants wander off from the Institute and eat in one of the neighboring restaurants.
