Workshop on Game Semantics
University of Ottawa, June 17, 2003

Organizers: Samson Abramsky and Phil Scott

The aim of this Workshop is to bring together researchers working on Game Semantics and its applications. Game Semantics has been used over the past decade to model a wide range of computational effects in programming languages, and a variety of logics. The workshop will focus on current research frontiers, with likely topics including: game semantics for object-oriented and concurrent languages; algorithmic game semantics and applications to software model-checking; connections between game semantics and more abstract formalisms such as domain theory and category theory; games and quantum computation; games and the computational content of classical proofs.
