16 June 2011, The PlusCal Algorithm Language, Leslie Lamport

Date & Time: Thursday 16 June 2011, 16:00
Speaker: Leslie Lamport
Location: Turing room, CWI, Science Park, Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Algorithms are different from programs and should not be described with programming languages. For example, algorithms are usually best described in terms of mathematical objects like sets and graphs instead of the primitive objects like bytes and integers provided by programming languages. Until now, the only simple alternative to programming languages has been pseudo-code.

PlusCal is an algorithm language based on TLA+. A PlusCal algorithm is automatically translated to a TLA+ specification that can be checked with the TLC model checker or reasoned about formally. (No knowledge of TLA+ is assumed.) PlusCal makes pseudo-code obsolete.

Date: 27-28 June 2011
Location: OMHP building, Oudemanhuispoort 4-6, Amsterdam

To mark the end of Catarina Dutilh Novaes' VENI-project on formal languages and the new appointment of Julian Kiverstein at the philosophy department of the University of Amsterdam, a workshop on extended cognition will take place in Amsterdam on June 27th--28th. The focus will be on conceptions of extended cognition in the spirit of 'second-wave EM' (Sutton) or 'cognitive integration' (Menary).
