CATEGORY THEORY AND COMPUTER SCIENCE

(first announcement and call for papers)

3-6 September 1991
Ecole Normale Superieure, Paris

        The Fourth of the biennial Summer Conferences on Category
Theory and Computer Science will be held in Paris. The main purpose of
these conferences is to link research in category theory with computer
science. The importance of categories in understanding basic issues in
computer science is now well established. Other structures in logic,
algebra and topology are also seen as fundamental and the scope of the
conference is to cover applications of these structures as well.
Papers are welcome in any of the following, non-exhaustive, list of
topics :

        % Semantics of Programming Languages    % Categorical Logic
        % Program Logics and Specification      % Semantics of Concurrency
        % Type Theory                           % Linear Logic

        It is intended to publish the proceedings as Springer Lecture Notes.

Organizing and Program Committee Samson Abramsky, Pierre-Louis Curien,
