=========================================== BASICS'09 CALL FOR PARTICIPATION =========================================== BASICS 2009 International Workshop on Computation and Interaction (BASICSÂ’09) 11-16 October 2009 Shanghai, China Webpage: http://basics.sjtu.edu.cn/summer_school/basics09/ Email: bas...@sjtu.edu.cn OBJECTIVE: The BASICS 2009 International Workshop on Computation and Interaction will take place at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, October 11-16, 2009. The lecturers are researchers on computation and interaction who will provide an overview of the field and share their insights into the newest development. The main purpose of BASICS 2009 is to bring together researchers and graduate students in order to advance the theory of computation and interaction and promote its applications. Undergraduate students with strong interest in formal methods are also welcome to attend.
