BACKGROUND

 

Types are pervasive in programming and information technology. A type

defines a formal interface between software components, allowing the

automatic verification of their connections, and greatly enhancing the

robustness and reliability of computations and communications. In rich

dependent type theories, the full functional specification of a

program can be expressed as a type. Type systems have rapidly evolved

over the past years, becoming more sophisticated, capturing new

aspects of the behaviour of programs and the dynamics of their

execution.

 

The aim of this summer school is to provide advanced training,

especially to PhD students and early-career researchers, in all

aspects of the theory and practice of type theory and applications.
