========================================= Topics in Theoretical Computer Science (TTCS 2015) http://www.ttcs.ir/ Institute for Research in Fundamental Sciences (IPM), Tehran, Iran August 26-28, 2015 *Submission Deadline:* May 15, 2015 ======================================== Scope ------------------------------ TTCS is a new bi-annual conference series, intending to serve as a forum for novel and high-quality research in all areas of Theoretical Computer Science. The conference is held in cooperation with the European Association for Theoretical Computer Science. There will be a number of satellite events at TTCS, These will feature presentation of early research results, and position papers. There will also be a forum for Ph.D. students to receive comments about their ongoing research projects. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - algebra and co-algebra in computer science, - algorithms and data structures, - algorithmic coding theory, - algorithmic graph theory and combinatorics, - approximation algorithms, - computational complexity, - computational geometry, - computational learning theory, - concurrency theory, - coordination languages, - economics and algorithmic game theory, - fixed parameter algorithms, - formal verification and model-based testing, - logic in computer science, - machine learning - methods, models of computation and reasoning for embedded, hybrid, and cyber-physical systems, - optimization, - parallel and distributed algorithms, - quantum computing, - randomness in computing, - stochastic and probabilistic specification and reasoning - theoretical aspects of other CS-related research areas, e.g., computational science, databases, information retrieval, and networking, - theoretical cryptography, - theory of programming languages, and - type theory and its application in program verification. Keynote Speakers ------------------------------ Anuj Dawar, Cambridge University, UK Michael Fellows, Charles Darwin University, Australia Mehrnoosh Sadrezadeh, Queen Mary University of London, UK Submission ------------------------------ For the main conference, we solicit research papers in all areas of theoretical computer science. All papers will undergo a rigorous review process and will be judged based on their originality, soundness, significance of the results, and relevance to the theme of the conference. Papers should be written in English. Research papers should not exceed 15 pages in the LNCS style format. Multiple and/or concurrent submission to other scientific venues is not allowed and will result in rejection as well as notification to the other venue. Any case of plagiarism (including self-plagiarism from earlier publications) will result in rejection as well as notification to the the authors' institutions.

Kobe set theory seminar on Tue 19 May.
by Daisuke Ikegami 13 May '15

13 May '15

皆様神戸大学の池上と申します。来週の火曜日13:30から行われる神戸集合論セミナーのお知らせです。講演者は、カーネギーメロン大学でポスドクをしている Nam Trang さんです。どうぞお気軽にお越しください。問合せ先：池上大祐神戸大学大学院システム情報学研究科 E-mail: ikegami(a)people.kobe-u.ac.jp ========================================================================= 日時：2015年5月19日（火）13:30-15:00 講演者：Nam Trang （Carnegie Mellon University）場所：神戸大学自然科学総合研究棟3号館4階421室（プレゼンテーション室）交通：阪急六甲駅またはJR六甲道駅から神戸市バス36系統「鶴甲団地」行きに乗車、「神大本部工学部前」停留所下車、徒歩すぐ。 http://www.kobe-u.ac.jp/guid/access/rokko/rokkodai-dai2.html （「ローカルマップ」の59番の建物）題目： Descriptive inner model theory and forcing axioms. アブストラクト： We discuss some recent developments in descriptive inner model theory, focusing on works on constructing canonical inner models of large cardinals and determinacy from combinatorial consequences of forcing axioms such as PFA. The upshot is the speaker’s result, built on earlier works of Steel and Sargsyan, that PFA implies the existence of models of “AD_R + Θ is regular”. The talk is mostly a survey talk and we aim to explain definitions and notions involved, hence should be accessible to general set theorists. =========================================================================
