といっても、一週間で帰ってくると思う。LPAR-16から、acceptしますと言われました。わーいわーい論文ちゃんと直すぞー。とかなんとか言いながら、ひとつぶつかった行事を、無理を言ってキャンセルさせていただいた。ありがたい。
それにしても、LPARの論文募集の口上が、素晴らしい。まるで古今和歌集の仮名序のようだ。
Logic is a fundamental organizing principle in nearly all areas in Computer Science. It runs a multifaceted gamut from the foundational to the applied. At one extreme, it underlies computability and complexity theory and the formal semantics of programming languages. At the other, it drives billions of gates every day in the digital circuits of processors of all kinds. Logic is in itself a powerful programming paradigm but it is also the quintessential specification language for anything ranging from real-time critical systems to networked infrastructures. It is logical techniques that link implementation and specification through formal methods such as automated theorem proving and model checking. Logic is also the stuff of knowledge representation and artificial intelligence. Because of its ubiquity, logic has acquired a central role in Computer Science education.

それから、それなりの会議が開かれたことがないところに行ってやろうというモットーも、素晴らしい。
