Coming of Age                    FACS at 21 

2nd December 1998, British Royal Society

The 21st anniversary of the British Computer Society Formal 
Aspects of Computing Science Special Interest Group 

To mark this coming of age, we have invited four of our distinguished Fellows 
of the British Royal Society to select highlights of current research 
achievements, reflect on past lessons learned and look forward to future 
directions.

      Mike Gordon     21 Years of Hardware Verification
      Tony Hoare      Top-down and bottom-up and meeting in the middle
      Robin Milner    Computing is Interaction
      Gordon Plotkin  On Syntax

This 21 year period has seen formal methods mature from inception as a purely 
academic research area, to establish itself in computer science curricula, and 
most recently to be practically applied in industry.

The FACS at 21 meeting will take place at The Royal Society, 6 Carlton House
Terrace, London, commencing 9.30 am and finishing by 5.00 pm. In addition,
there will be an opportunity to attend an evening meal attended by the 
speakers. (Registration form below.)
