Abstract:
Computability in Europe 2008 (CiE 2008), organised by the Graduate Program in Logic, Algorithms and Computation (MPLA) and the Department of History and Philosophy of Science of the University of Athens, takes place in Athens, Greece, 15 June - 20 June, 2008. CiE 2008 is the fourth of a newly evolving series of conferences under the heading Computability in Europe which started 2005 in Amsterdam as CiE 2005: New computational paradigms, and has been continued in Swansea CiE 2006: Logical approaches to computational barriers, and Siena CiE 2007: Computation and Logic in the Real World. The conference serves as an interdisciplinary forum, which deals with approaches to practical computational problems in many different areas. This includes Admissible sets Algorithms Analog computation Artificial intelligence Automata theory Bioinformatics Classical computability and degree structures Complexity classes Computability theoretic aspects of programs Computable analysis and real computation Computable structures and models Computational and proof complexity Computational learning and complexity Concurrency and distributed computation Constructive mathematics Cryptographic complexity Decidability of theories Derandomization DNA computing Domain theory and computability Dynamical systems and computational models Effective descriptive set theory Finite model theory Formal aspects of program analysis Formal methods Foundations of computer science Games Generalized recursion theory History of computation Hybrid systems Higher type computability Hypercomputational models Infinite time Turing machines Kolmogorov complexity Lambda and combinatory calculi L-systems and membrane computation Mathematical models of emergence Molecular computation Natural Computation Neural nets and connectionist models Philosophy of science and computation Physics and computability Probabilistic systems Process algebra Programming language semantics Proof mining Proof theory and computability Proof complexity Quantum computing and complexity Randomness Reducibilities and relative computation Relativistic computation Reverse mathematics Swarm intelligence Type systems and type theory Uncertain Reasoning Weak systems of arithmetic and applications
