Report on MFPS XXXIII and CALCO 2017
Andrej Bauer · ACM SIGLOG News · 2017
I once heard it said that cousins can be best friends because they understand the quirks of each other's families but are separated enough not to be hindered by sibling rivalry. If this is true, then Mathematical Foundations of Programming Semantics (MFPS) and the Conference on Algebra and Coalgebra in Computer Science (CALCO) are cousins. When it was decided that they would meet again, this time in Ljubljana, Slovenia, one could only expect an enjoyable and productive week in one of the greenest capitals of Europe. The preparations proceeded smoothly under the MFPS program chair Alexandra Silva (University College London), the CALCO program co-chairs Barbara König (University of Duisburg-Essen) and Filippo Bonchi (École normale supérieure de Lyon), and the head local organizer Matija Pretnar (University of Ljubljana).
