CALL FOR PARTICIPATION


Workshop on EFFICIENT AND NATURAL PROOF SYSTEMS
University of Bath
14-16 December, 2015
<http://www.cs.bath.ac.uk/ag/ENPS/wenps2015.html>


The Mathematical Foundations group at the Department of Computer 
Science, University of Bath, will host a 2.5-day workshop on structural 
proof theory, starting in the afternoon of 14 December.

The workshop will focus on the various aspects of structural proof 
theory, including but not limited to the following topics:

- deep inference proof theory
- algebraic, combinatorial and geometric representations of proofs
- proof compression
- normalisation of proofs
- proof checking
- proof search
- complexity of proofs
- computational interpretations of proofs


PARTICIPATION

There is no fee or formal registration for the workshop and anyone is 
welcome to attend. However we ask that anyone who intends to attend 
informs us by *20 November* so that we may accordingly plan coffee 
breaks and social activities.

All enquiries should be made to 
<<mailto:wenps2015-bC77Qfv0vuxrovVCs/[email protected]>mailto:wenps2015-bC77Qfv0vuxrovVCs/[email protected]>.

COURSE ON DEEP INFERENCE

*Change of time*: 14 December 11:00 to 13:00.

(Due to the high quality and number of contributions received by the 
committee, we have decided to replace the previously advertised course 
on deep inference by an abridged version on the morning preceding the 
workshop.)

Deep inference is a modern proof theory offering a better understanding 
of proofs and extending the range of applications of traditional Gentzen 
proof theory. This course will offer a brief introduction to deep inference.


CHILDCARE

The Department of Computer Science and the University of Bath are 
  committed to a supportive and inclusive working environment. Childcare 
will be provided to workshop participants and their children if 
required. If you need this service, please contact us at 
<mailto:wenps2015-bC77Qfv0vuxrovVCs/[email protected]> by 20 November.


ACCESSIBILITY

If you have requests concerning accessibility or dietary requirements, 
please contact us at <mailto:wenps2015-bC77Qfv0vuxrovVCs/[email protected]> and we will do all 
we can to assist.
