BACKGROUND

The TYPES meetings are a forum to present new and on-going work in all aspects of type theory and its applications, especially in formalised and computer assisted reasoning and computer programming.

The meetings from 1990 to 2008 were annual workshops of a sequence of five EU funded networking projects. Since 2009, TYPES has been run as an independent conference series. Previous TYPES meetings were held in Antibes (1990), Edinburgh (1991), Båstad (1992), Nijmegen (1993), Båstad (1994), Torino (1995), Aussois (1996), Kloster Irsee (1998), Lökeberg (1999), Durham (2000), Berg en Dal near Nijmegen (2002), Torino (2003), Jouy-en-Josas near Paris (2004), Nottingham (2006), Cividale del Friuli (2007), Torino (2008), Aussois (2009), Warsaw (2010), Bergen (2011), Toulouse (2013), Paris (2014), Tallinn (2015), Novi Sad (2016).

The TYPES areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • foundations of type theory and constructive mathematics;
  • applications of type theory;
  • dependently typed programming;
  • industrial uses of type theory technology;
  • meta-theoretic studies of type systems;
  • proof assistants and proof technology;
  • automation in computer-assisted reasoning;
  • links between type theory and functional programming;
  • formalizing mathematics using type theory.


We encourage talks proposing new ways of applying type theory. In the spirit of workshops, talks may be based on newly published papers, work submitted for publication, but also work in progress.

An Architecture for Dependently Typed Applications in Idris

A useful pattern in dependently typed programming is to define a state transition system, for example the states and operations in a network protocol, as an indexed monad. We index each operation by its input and output states, thus guaranteeing that operations satisfy pre- and post-conditions, by typechecking. However, what if we want to write a program using several systems at once? What if we want to define a high level state transition system, such as a network application protocol, in terms of lower level states, such as network sockets and mutable variables?

In this talk, I will present an architecture for dependently typed applications in the Idris programming language, based on a hierarchy of state transition systems, and implemented in a generic data type ST. This is based on a monad indexed by contexts of resources, allowing us to reason about multiple state transition systems in the type of a function. Using ST, I will show: how to implement a state transition system as a dependent type, with type level guarantees on its operations; how to account for operations which could fail; how to combine state transition systems into a larger system; and, how to implement larger systems as a hierarchy of state transition systems. I will illustrate the system with a high level network application protocol, implemented in terms of POSIX network sockets.

Proof systems based on neighbourhood semantics

A method is presented for generating proof systems on the basis of neighbourhood semantics. The method is a generalisation of the internalisation of possible worlds semantics into sequent calculi. Its specific features will be illustrated through case studies from the treatment of counterfactuals and conditional beliefs.

THIS TALK IS CANCELLED.

Bounding Principles for Decision Problems with Intersection Types

The classical type-theoretic decision problems, inhabitation (given a type, is there a term having the type?) and typability (given a term, does it have a type?), are undecidable for intersection types. But one can consider bounding principles admitting of algorithmic solutions while retaining interesting levels of expressive power. We overview the status of known bounding principles, computational aspects of the associated decision problems, and some application perspectives.

FINANCIAL SUPPORT

The first two days of TYPES 2017, May 29 - 30 are organised by EUTypes Cost Action CA15123. On May 30 there will be an EUTypes Management Committee (MC) meeting, and on both days there will be WG meetings. This means that members of the EUTypes MC will be invited for these 2 days through the e-cost system, and their cost of travel and stay will be covered. There will likely be some funding for a limited number of other invited speakers. The funding is subject to COST rules, and invitations will be sent out via the e-cost system after the 1st of May.



TRAVEL INFORMATION

The currency is Hungarian Forint (HUF), around 300 HUF is worth 1 Euro. You can use debit/credit cards in almost every shop and restaurant, but you may need cash in small pubs. The cheapest way to get cash is from an exchange bureau in the city centre. Ask your hotel or follow these instructions.

Travel to Budapest

  • By flight to Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport.
  • By train: 2.5 hours journey from Vienna, direct trains from Berlin, Munich, Prague, Warsaw, Zurich etc. Search trains on bahn.de, buy tickets online from the respective train companies. International tickets from the Hungarian train company have to be printed at a kiosk at a train station in Hungary.
  • By car: you can park your car next to the university for free at your own risk.

Travel from the airport to the city centre

  • BKK bus 200E takes you to the nearest metro station Kőbánya-Kispest, you can take metro line 3 from there to the city centre. The bus stop is just outside the terminal building. You can use the bus with normal BKK tickets (300 HUF), see below for information. Google maps journey planner knows about the timetable, also here is a direct link.
  • Airport minibus service, you can book it online or at the terminal in person after arrival. A minibus ride to the city centre costs around 7 times as much as public transportation and is around one third the travel time.
  • You can take a taxi from the airport, it is recommended to book a taxi at the Főtaxi kiosk just outside the terminal building. Note that COST does not normally pay for taxi expenses, see section 4.1.4, page 30 of the COST Vademecum. A taxi ride to the city centre costs around 14 times as much as public transportation and is around one third the travel time.

Travel within the city centre

  • Public transportation (BKK) is the fastest and cheapest way to get around in Budapest. You can use Google maps to plan your journey, it knows about all bus, trolley bus, tram and metro lines. It is recommended to buy a 5/30 BKK travelcard for 4550 HUF at the airport, you can use this for 5 times 24 hours during a month. Alternatively, you can buy 10 tickets for 3000 HUF: one ticket is only valid for a single bus/tram ride, if you change to another bus, you have to validate a new ticket (however you can change metro lines with a single ticket). You can buy tickets at the kiosk at the airport or from the ticket machines which accept debit/credit cards. There are machines next to the bus stop at the airport and at all metro stations, and at most tram stops. The conference venue is near the following BKK stops:
  • Public bicycle: you can use the green public bicycles in the city centre, see BUBI website for information (BUBI = Budapest Bicycle). There is a BUBI docking station next to the conference venue. A weekly pass is 2000 HUF, and you can use a bicycle for 30 minutes without paying extra. You can buy a pass at the airport BKK kiosk or BKK Customer Service Points.
  • Walking is cheap and nice.
  • Taxi. Note that COST does not normally pay for taxi expenses, see section 4.1.4, page 30 of the COST Vademecum.

VENUE

The conference will be held in the Lágymányos South Building of Eötvös Loránd University, see the map below. The address is Pázmány Péter sétány 1/C, Budapest 1117, Hungary. Look for the red hat on the following map. The lecture hall we will use is 0-823 Kitaibel Pál room, very close to the West entrance of the building which is marked with an arrow on the map.

Wifi access: you can use eduroam or the network Types2017 with password TypeTheoryApps.




ACCOMMODATION

We reserved 55 rooms altogether in the following hotels (see the above map):

  • Hotel Erzsébet City Centre (15 rooms, single room: 95 EUR/day, double room: 103 EUR/day, reservation deadline 21 April), booking form
  • Leonardo Hotel Budapest (15 rooms, single room: 85 EUR/day, double room: 95 EUR/day, reservation deadline 10 May), booking form
  • Hotel Flamenco (no rooms left), booking form
To get the above prices, please fill out the booking form and send it to the hotel through email, fax or post or just call the hotel.

Services such as booking.com and airbnb.com are known to work well in Budapest too.

The judgemental map of Budapest (google) is quite accurate about what the different areas are like. The conference venue is in the "more nerds" area.
