WORKSHOP ON LOGICS FOR COALGEBRAS

May 10-11 2007
Institute for Logic, Language and Computation (ILLC)
Plantage Muidergracht 24

++++++++++++++++


Coalgebras have been expanding and reshaping
the mathematical environment of modal logic:
pivoting on the crucial notion of 'bisimulation invariance',
a wide range of languages based on Set-endofunctors
have been recognized as modal in nature
and conversely, the coalgebraic nature of modal logic
is clearly recognizable by its model theory.

This workshop aims at giving a snapshot of the advances
in the resulting field of coalgebraic modal logic.
The program also includes a tutorial on coalgebras for
modal logicians.

Expressions of interests are very welcome.
If you intend to participate,
please contact Alessandra Palmigiano.
