[TYPES/announce] Oregon PL Summer School: call for participation

[Amal Ahmed]

This year's Oregon Programming Languages Summer School will take place from June 16th to 28th, 2014.  The registration deadline is April 14th.  Full information on registration and scholarships an be found here:

The school has a long and successful tradition (sponsored by the NSF, ACM SIGPLAN, and industry).  It covers current research in the theory and practice of programming languages.  Material is presented at a tutorial level that will help graduate students and researchers from academia or industry understand the critical issues and open problems confronting the field.  Prerequisites are an elementary knowledge of logic and mathematics, as covered in undergraduate classes on discrete mathematics, and some knowledge of programming languages at the level of an undergraduate survey course. 
This year we will again offer a Coq boot camp session, to be held on June 15th -- one day before the summer school officially begins.  The boot camp will provide a one-day, intensive, hands-on introduction to the practical mechanics of the Coq proof assistant.  The Coq boot camp will be run by Michael Clarkson (George Washington University).  More information is available at the above website. 
This year's program is titled Types, Logic, Semantics, and Verification.  The speakers and topics include: 

Andrew Appel -- Software Verification
Princeton University

Lars Birkedal -- Category Theory
Aarhus University

Derek Dreyer -- Modular Reasoning about Stateful Programs
Max Planck Institute for Software Systems

Robert Harper -- Type Theory Foundations
Carnegie Mellon University

Greg Morrisett -- Certified Programming and State
Harvard University

Ulf Norell -- Programming in Agda
Chalmers University of Technology

Brigitte Pientka -- Proof Theory Foundations
McGill University

Stephanie Weirich -- Designing Dependently-Typed Programming Languages
University of Pennsylvania

Steve Zdancewic -- Software Foundations in Coq

We hope you can join us for this excellent program!
