Extensional Constructs in Intensional Type Theory presents a novel approach to the treatment of equality in Martin-Loef type theory (a basis for important work in mechanised mathematics and program verification). Martin Hofmann attempts to reconcile the two different ways that type theories deal with identity types. The book will be of interest particularly to researchers with mainly theoretical interests and implementors of type theory based proof assistants, and also fourth year undergraduates who will find it useful as part of an advanced course on type theory.
This book provides an overview of the various methods for creating and implementing efficient work processes. The author presents the most important tools for working on improvement projects such as process mapping, Ishikawa diagram, burn-down chart, or Pareto chart. Using successfully realized improvement projects from practice, the concrete implementation of process optimization is illustrated. In addition, it is shown how these methods, which originate from the production sector, can be successfully used in the office sector.
Foundations of Information Technology in the Era of Network and Mobile Computing is presented in two distinct but interrelated tracks: -Algorithms, Complexity and Models of Computation; -Logic, Semantics, Specification and Verification. This volume contains 45 original and significant contributions addressing these foundational questions, as well as 4 papers by outstanding invited speakers. These papers were presented at the 2nd IFIP International Conference on Theoretical Computer Science (TCS 2002), which was held in conjunction with the 17th World Computer Congress, sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP), and which convened in Montréal, Québec, Canada in August 2002.
ETAPS2002wasthe?fthinstanceoftheEuropeanJointConferencesonTheory and Practice of Software. ETAPS is an annual federated conference that was established in 1998 by combining a number of existing and new conferences. This year it comprised 5 conferences (FOSSACS, FASE, ESOP, CC, TACAS), 13 satellite workshops (ACL2, AGT, CMCS, COCV, DCC, INT, LDTA, SC, SFEDL, SLAP, SPIN, TPTS, and VISS), 8 invited lectures (not including those speci?c to the satellite events), and several tutorials. The events that comprise ETAPS address various aspects of the system - velopmentprocess,includingspeci?cation,design,implementation,analysis,and improvement. The languages, methodologies, and tools which support these - tivities are all well within its scope. Di?erent blends of theory and practice are represented, with an inclination towards theory with a practical motivation on one hand and soundly-based practice on the other. Many of the issues involved in software design apply to systems in general, including hardware systems, and the emphasis on software is not intended to be exclusive.
This volume contains a refereed selection of revised full papers chosen from the contributions presented during the Third Annual Workshop held under the auspices of the ESPRIT Basic Research Action 6453 Types for Proofs and Programs. The workshop took place in Torino, Italy, in June 1995. Type theory is a formalism in which theorems and proofs, specifications and programs can be represented in a uniform way. The 19 papers included in the book deal with foundations of type theory, logical frameworks, and implementations and applications; all in all they constitute a state-of-the-art survey for the area of type theory.
This book constitutes the refereed post-proceedings of the Second International Workshop on Construction and Analysis of Safe, Secure, and Interoperable Smart Devices, CASSIS 2005. The 9 revised full papers presented were carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing and improvement from about 30 workshop talks. The papers are organized in topical sections on research trends in smart devices, Web services, virtual machine technology, security, validation and formal methods, proof-carrying code, and embedded devices.
The aim of this volume is to present modern developments in semantics and logics of computation in a way that is accessible to graduate students. The book is based on a summer school at the Isaac Newton Institute and consists of a sequence of linked lecture course by international authorities in the area. The whole set have been edited to form a coherent introduction to these topics, most of which have not been presented pedagogically before.
This book is based on material presented at the international summer school on Applied Semantics that took place in Caminha, Portugal, in September 2000. We aim to present some recent developments in programming language research, both in semantic theory and in implementation, in a series of graduate-level lectures. The school was sponsored by the ESPRIT Working Group 26142 on Applied Semantics(APPSEM),whichoperatedbetweenApril1998andMarch2002.The purpose of this working group was to bring together leading reseachers, both in semantic theory and in implementation, with the speci?c aim of improving the communication between theoreticians and practitioners.

HealthGrid 2008 is the sixth conference in this series of open forums for the integration of grid technologies and its applications in the biomedical, medical and biological domains to pave the path to an international research area in healthgrids. The main objective of the HealthGrid conference and the HealthGrid Association is the exchange and discussion of ideas, technologies, solutions and requirements that interest the grid and the life-sciences communities to foster the integration of grids into health. Subjects in this publication reflect the diversity of mature practice: Advancing Virtual Communities, offering a glimpse of the kind of communities that are brought together by means of collaboration grids; Public Health Informatics, exploring the diffusion of grid concepts and technologies in health informatics; Translational Bioinformatics, the contact point between medicine, healthcare and genomics; and Knowledge Management and Decision Support, one direction that is confidently expected to grow as the synergy of grids and 'evidence-based practice' in healthcare is exploited.
These proceedings contain a refereed selection of papers presented at the Second Annual Workshop of the Types Working Group (Computer-Assisted Reasoning based on Type Theory, EUIST project 29001), which was held April 24–28, 2002 in Hotel Erica, Berg en Dal (close to Nijmegen), The Netherlands. The workshop was attended by about 90 researchers. On April 27, there was a special afternoon celebrating the 60th birthday of Per Martin-L ̈of, one of the founding fathers of the Types community. The afternoon consisted of the following three invited talks: “Constructive Validity Revisited” by Dana Scott, “From the Rules of Logic to the Logic of Rules” by Jean-Yves Girard, and “The Varie...
