The folks at “Summer of Protocols” are hosting a weekend workshop Sept. 12-14 at UBC on the Foundations of Protocols:
The goal of this weekend is to begin developing a formal theory of protocols. Do they have an inherent structure or pattern that could be expressed with math or logic? Could we model a simple handshake and a complicated climate accord with the same notation? We invite academics, especially from STEM disciplines, to apply.
When: September 12-14
Where: Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
Who: Up to 30 academics, students, professionals, and independent scholars
Format: Discussion sessions, working blocks, lightning chalk talks
Application Deadline: August 15
