The Workshop is postponed to a future date, to be determined.

Due to travel restrictions resulting from the COVID-19 epidemic, we have had to postpone the workshop.  We aim to hold it at a future date some time in the next six months

 

Cambridge, 25–27 March 2020

Aim

This workshop marks the launch of a new EPSRC-funded project "Resources and co-resources: a junction between semantics and descriptive complexity" which is jointly led by Anuj Dawar at Cambridge and Samson Abramsky at Oxford. The project seeks to explore ways in which methods from the study of logic and algorithms (specifically finite model theory and descriptive complexity) can be combined with methods from semantics (such as category theory) to build a cohesive algebraic theory of resources.

Accommodation

As Cambridge is a popular tourist destination, it is advised to book as early as possible.

Many of the Cambridge colleges provide accommodation which can be booked through the University Rooms website. Colleges closest to the Computer Laboratory include Churchill, Robinson & Selwyn. Be aware that some of these rooms may have shared bathrooms.

Otherwise, there are the usual options of Booking.com, AirBnB &c.

When looking for a place to stay note that the Lab is a ~30 minute walk west of the centre of Cambridge and is served by the U bus line which runs from the train station with stops throughout Cambridge.

Meals

Lunch (on all three days) and coffee during breaks will be provided on site.

There will be a workshop dinner on Thursday, 26th March at Robinson College at 7 for 7.30pm.
