Organizational meeting

TIME:   Tuesday, Apr. 3, 4:15 PM
PLACE:  Philosophy Dept. Room 92 (seminar room)
TOPIC:  Logic and parallel computation.

We will begin by examining some recent papers where
parallel computation is used in interesting ways
to obtain better algorithms.

The logical part will be to investigate how efficient
algorithms using parallel computation might be extracted
from infinite proof trees by applying transformations
that use only finite amounts of information.

At the first meeting these ideas will be explained in some more detail.
Ideas and suggestions will be welcome.

The seminar is scheduled to meet Tuesdays at 4:15, but can
be changed if there are conflicts.
