The Fourth DIKU-IST Joint Workshop on Foundations of Software


10 – 14 January, 2011

Japan




Important Dates

  • January 10-12: Workshop at Asakusa View Hotel
  • January 13: Workshop at The University of Tokyo
  • January 14: Free Discussion



Objective

After the success of the first, second, and third DIKU-IST workshops, the fourth DIKU-IST workshop aims to provide a forum for exchanging research ideas among researchers on programming languages and foundations of software, and promoting research collaboration between Department of Computer Science (DIKU) at University of Copenhagen and Graduate School of Information Science and Technology (IST) at University of Tokyo.




Theme

Despite tremendous progress in hardware, the production of software is manual, error prone, and costly. The exploding demand for software has led to a dramatic worldwide undersupply of skilled programmers, outsourcing, and to low software quality, which is evident to anyone today who uses software. Computer languages and their semantics play a central role in all phases of software development: from the specification of an abstract software entity and its presentation in an implementation language, through verifying that software will behave in reliable and error-free ways in safety-critical applications, and finally to the mapping of specifications onto software and hardware within space and speed constraints.

Venue / Accommodation




Access

From Narita Airport to Asakusa View Hotel:

  • Route (google map): 'Access Express' from Narita Airport Terminal 1 to Asakusa Station; then 10 minutes walk as in the google map.
  • The arrival area of Scandinavian Airlines is South Wing of Terminal 1, 1st Floor.
  • To get on Access Express (map): First go to the entrance on B1F near the blue Encircled Number 4 with orange line (and blue line) on the map.
    Then along the orange line (until the end), first go right (passing the first escalator) then you go to the two escalators going down to the same platform 'Narita SKY ACCESS Line ordinary train platform' (B2F) of Box Number 1, which is the platform you can get on Access Express.
  • Timetable of Access Express: ... 9:09 9:49 10:29 11:09 11:51 12:24 13:09 13:44 ... from Narita Airport Terminal 1
    (It is better to avail Ordinary Trains than Skyliner/Cityliner, since the former is much cheeper and without a transfer. Among Ordinary Trains, use Access Express rather than Limited Express.)
  • Access Express is bound for Haneda Airport. Get off at Asakusa Station (64 min. from Narita Airport).
  • The hotel is here.

From Asakusa View Hotel to Narita Airport:

  • Timetable of Access Express (through train) from Asakusa Station to Narita Airport (basically 1.5 trains every hour):
