10 April 2004, Kyoto, Japan
Satellite Event of the
7th International Symposium on Functional
and Logic Programming (FLOPS2004), 7-9 April 2004, Nara, Japan
Description and Topics
This one-day informal meeting is intended to be a forum on semantic
and logical aspects of programming languages and related systems
including specification languages, formal calculi and their
metatheories.
ALPS will consist of two sessions:
- "Algebra" session, which discusses algebraic foundations, methods,
and applications.
Topics include: domain theory, category theory,
algebraic specification, denotational semantics
- "Logic" session, which is devoted for logical foundations and
applications.
Topics include: proof theory, type theory, modal logic,
temporal logic, linear logic, logical frameworks
Venue
Campus Plaza Kyoto
(north west side of
JR Kyoto
station, next to the Post Office)
Conference Room 2 (2nd Floor)
A map of JR Kyoto Station is found
here.
In this map
- Green 8 shows Post Office (next to the workshop venue)
- Green 14 shows the Kintestu Kyoto Station
- Blue 8,9,10 are the pratforms of JR Nara Line
Note for FLOPS participants: There is a frequent railway service
between Nara (the venue of FLOPS) and Kyoto which takes just 35 minutes
(Kintetsu line) or 40 minutes (JR line). Kintetsu Kyoto Station is
located on the south side of JR Kyoto Station.
Also there is a direct railway service from Kyoto to
Kansai International Airport (JR line, takes approx. 90 min.).

TRS with variable binders)
- Wolfram Kahl (Theory organisation for mechanised readable
calculational reasoning in allegories and heterogeneous Kleene algebras)
- Per Martin-Lof (A type theoretic analysis of Zermelo's axiom of choice)

Registration
The meeting will be open to everyone, and there will be no
registration fee.
However, due to space limitation, we need to know the rough number
of participants.
If you are likely to come,
please send an email message with the subject line "ALPS participation" to
hassei@kurims.kyoto-u.ac.jp
in advance (this also allows us to send you the latest information).
Accommodation
You can book accommodation around the workshop site through
JTB.
Please directly contact JTB by e-mail at:
Kyoto_ei3b@kns.jtb.co.jp.
Since it is a very busy season, an early arrangement is strongly
recommended.
For FLOPS participants:
Although there are frequent railway services between Nata and Kyoto,
for avoiding busy trafic on Saturday morning, it might be better to
come and stay around Kyoto station on the evening of 9th Friday
(and perhaps the evening of 10th too).

Japan Alps:
The prominent 3,000 meter class mountainous regions
in the centre of Japan. Also known as "the roof of Japan".
Mt. Fuji:
The highest (3776 meter) mountain in Japan.
Note that some of the past FLOPS meetings were called
"Fuji International Symposium on Functional and Logic Programming"
after Mt. Fuji.
Unfortunately you cannot look at neither Japan Alps nor Mt. Fuji from
Kyoto and Nara, but there are good public transport to these
mountains if you love to visit them.
Mt. Lambda:
Instead, you might be interested in looking at (or even climbing)
Mt.
Lambda (466 meter high) in Kyoto...
