24 April - 28 June 2012, Course on models of computation

Date: 24 April - 28 June 2012
Location: Utrecht University

Starting at 24 april 2012, a course on `Models of Computation' will be taught at Utrecht University, in the master programme `Cognitive Artificial Intelligence', but open to other students, also from other universities. At the moment there is still room for enrollment of 7-8 additional students.

The aim of this course is to get acquainted with some of the most frequently used models of computation in computability theory and logic, and in the disciplines of AI. Classical and less well-known models will be studied. Relationships between these models will be established via simulations. The Church-Turing Thesis about effective calculability will be explained, evidence for it, and possible limitations of this statement, will be discussed. Some non-classical models of computation and their reach will be treated. Furthermore, applications in AI-disciplines will be considered.

Lecturers: Vincent van Oostrom and Clemens Grabmayer

16 June 2012, 5th Interaction and Concurrency Experience, Stockholm, Sweden

Date: 16 June 2012
Speaker: Marcello Bonsangue and Ichiro Hasuo
Location: Stockholm, Sweden

Interaction and Concurrency Experiences (ICEs) is a series of international scientific meetings oriented to theoretical computer science researchers with special interest in models, verification, tools and programming primitives for complex interactions. The theme of ICE 2012 is Distributed coordination, execution models, and resilient interaction.

Since its 1st edition in 2008, the distinguishing feature of ICE has been an innovative paper selection mechanism based on an interactive discussion amongst authors and PC members.

Date & Time: Friday 22 June 2012, 14:00
Speaker: Paul Dekker
Title: Herakleitos' Distinction
Location: Room 001 (MFR), Philosophy Department, Vendelstraat 8, Amsterdam

Abstract:
Herakleitos' sparse remarks on a "logos" have been deemed dark, but 2500 years later we can see that they are not as dark as Wittgenstein's TLP. I will use modern findings to show that they naturally fit in Wittgenstein's program, and that they help us to transform Aristotle's square of opposition into an obvious cube of opposition. If time permits I will argue that Herakleitos' logic of distinction is also appropriately conceived of as dynamic in nature, and that it naturally fits his own, even more sparse, remarks on ethical matters.

Title: Expressive Means and Mathematical Understanding
Location: Room B0.201, Science park 904, Amsterdam

What, beyond proof, makes mathematics a powerful form of understanding? We approach this question by attending to the way mathematics modularizes, by shaping special-purpose contents by the expressions it deploys (and avoids) in special contexts.

24 April - 28 June 2012, Course on models of computation

Date: 24 April - 28 June 2012
Location: Utrecht University

Starting at 24 april 2012, a course on `Models of Computation' will be taught at Utrecht University, in the master programme `Cognitive Artificial Intelligence', but open to other students, also from other universities. At the moment there is still room for enrollment of 7-8 additional students.

The aim of this course is to get acquainted with some of the most frequently used models of computation in computability theory and logic, and in the disciplines of AI. Classical and less well-known models will be studied. Relationships between these models will be established via simulations. The Church-Turing Thesis about effective calculability will be explained, evidence for it, and possible limitations of this statement, will be discussed. Some non-classical models of computation and their reach will be treated. Furthermore, applications in AI-disciplines will be considered.

Lecturers: Vincent van Oostrom and Clemens Grabmayer
