Opis

This book constitutes the strictly refereed post-workshop proceedings of the 10th International Workshop on Computer Science Logic, CSL'96, held as the 5th Annual Conference of the European Association of Computer Science Logic (EACSL), in Utrecht, The Netherlands, in September 1996.
The volume presents 26 revised full papers selected from a total of initially 75 papers submitted; also included are two refereed invited contributions. The volume addresses all current issues in the area of computer science logic research, and is thus a unique record of recent progress in the area.

O autorze

Dirk van Dalen studied at the University of Amsterdam, where he obtained his PhD. He has taught since 1960 at Utrecht University, where he is full professor. He also taught at MIT and Oxford. His technical work is mostly in the area of intuitionistic mathematics and logic. He uses to call attention to the benefits and challenges of constructive methods.
