The Logic and Foundations of Computing Group is an interdisciplinary research group composed of faculty and graduate students in Mathematics and Computer Science at the University of Ottawa and Carleton University. Our research interests focus on the mathematical foundations of computer science, including such topics as verification, higher-order and linear logics and proof theory, complexity theory, analysis and design of programming languages, categorical logic, and theorem proving. To find out about the interests of individual faculty members, you can follow the links to their home pages. We welcome applications from prospective graduate students and/or postdoctoral researchers. Please contact the individual faculty members for more information. The group and its members are involved in organizing the following conferences (which were held here in Ottawa) Recent conferences: 26th Mathematical Foundations of Programming Semantics (MFPS), May 6-10, 2010. MFPS General Program Titles and Abstracts for Program Fields Workshop on Traces, April 28-30, 2007. Category Theory Octoberfest Oct 21-22, 2006. Category Theory Octoberfest Oct 22-23, 2005. Logic in Computer Science (LICS'03) and Workshops, June 21-27, 2003. Fields Institute Summer School on Logic and Foundations of Computation, June 2-20, 2003. Foundational Methods in Computer Science (FMCS'03), May 30-June 1, 2003. Category Theory and Computer Science (CTCS'02), August 15-17, 2002. The group meets weekly in the Ottawa-Carleton Logic Seminar. * Upcoming Graduate Courses.
