The Workshop on Domains is aimed at computer scientists and mathematicians alike who share an interest in the mathematical foundations of computation. The workshop will focus on domains, their applications and related topics. Previous meetings were held in Darmstadt (94,99,04), Braunschweig (96), Munich (97), Siegen (98), Birmingham (02) and Novosibirsk (07).
The emphasis is on the exchange of ideas between participants similar in style to Dagstuhl seminars. In particular, talks on subjects presented at other conferences and workshops are acceptable.
This provisional list of contributed talks (in order of arrival) is still subject to change. A more detailed programme for the workshop including abstracts will be published on these pages soon.
Domain theory has had applications to programming language
semantics and logics (lambda-calculus, PCF, LCF), recursion theory
(Kleene-Kreisel countable functionals), general topology
(injective spaces, function spaces, locally compact spaces, Stone
duality), topological algebra (compact Hausdorff semilattices) and
analysis (measure, integration, dynamical systems). Moreover,
these applications are related - for example, Stone duality gives
rise to a logic of observable properties of computational
processes.
As such, domain theory is highly interdisciplinary. Topics of
interaction with domain theory for this workshop include, but are
not limited to:
The workshop will be held at the University of Sussex at Falmer, Brighton.
The meeting will commence on Monday 22nd, 9:30am and will close on Wednesday 24th with tea at around 4pm. Participants are invited to stay on and accommodation can be provided for Wednesday night as well.
Bed & breakfast in single rooms can be provided on campus with en suite bathroom
at at £ 45 per night in our brand new halls of residence (Swanborough, Building 13 on campus map)
or at a more economical £ 30.50 (budget option) with shared facilities (Lancaster House, Building 6 on campus map).
There is a 24h porter service on campus so you can check in at any time.
Lunch is included in the registration fee.
There will be no
organized evening meals except the Workshop dinner on Tuesday 23rd which is optional for £ 30.
Registration is now open.
EARLY REGISTRATION DEADLINE is *** AUGUST 7th ***
for the reduced registration fee of £ 40 (including lunches). Please register as
early as possible to secure a room on campus at the above mentioned rates. You can still register after August 7th at a fee of £ 70, and we might still get you a room but we are unable to
guarantee availability and you run the risk of having to find
accommodation yourself which can be quite tricky in Brighton.
Note that the registration fee includes all lunches (Mo-Wed).
Lunches will take place in a building adjacent to the lecture theatre.

PhD students with a grant from the EPSRC can get free
accommodation, subsistence and registration for DOMAINS IX thanks to support
from the EPSRC.
Submission is now officially closed but there are a few slots remaining so if you decided you would like to give a talk after all, send your one page abstract quickly to the workshop address given above.
Please be aware that if you submit now at this late stage we are not able to guarantee a slot even if your abstract is accepted.
Shortly after an abstract is submitted
the authors will be notified by the programme committee. The
criterion for acceptance is relevance to the meeting. In
particular, talks on subjects presented at other conferences and
workshops are acceptable.
We plan to publish proceedings of the workshop in a journal.
There will be a call for papers after the workshop.
The papers will be refereed according to normal publication standards.
