Reflection in concurrent computation and other formalisms

Lucius Greg Meredith
RChain.

Abstract

In this talk we show how reflection simplifies not only popular computational calculi like the pi-calculus, but also simplifies models of set theory such as Frankl-Mostowski set theory that have become so popular in modeling nominal computation models.

The research space can be gleaned from the papers at https://rchain.coop/research.html

About the speaker:

Lucius Gregory (Greg) Meredith is the president of the RChain Cooperative (https://rchain.coop ). Greg is a mathematician, and the discoverer of rho-calculus which is a reflective extension of pi-calculus, a co-inventor of OSLF (Operational Semantics in Logic Form), and the inventor of the ToGL approach to graph theory. Greg was the architect of the Microsoft Biztalk software.
