  • Axiomatizing Category Theory in Free Logic
    Axiomatizing Category Theory in Free Logic Christoph Benzm¨uller1 and Dana S. Scott2 1University of Luxemburg, Luxemburg & Freie Universit¨at Berlin, Germany 2Visiting Scholar at University of Califormia, Berkeley, USA October 15, 2018 Abstract Starting from a generalization of the standard axioms for a monoid we present a step- wise development of various, mutually equivalent foundational axiom systems for category theory. Our axiom sets have been formalized in the Isabelle/HOL interactive proof as- sistant, and this formalization utilizes a semantically correct embedding of free logic in classical higher-order logic. The modeling and formal analysis of our axiom sets has been significantly supported by series of experiments with automated reasoning tools integrated with Isabelle/HOL. We also address the relation of our axiom systems to alternative pro- posals from the literature, including an axiom set proposed by Freyd and Scedrov for which we reveal a technical issue (when encoded in free logic): either all operations, e.g. morphism composition, are total or their axiom system is inconsistent. The repair for this problem is quite straightforward, however. 1 Introduction We present a stepwise development of axiom systems for category theory by generalizing the standard axioms for a monoid to a partial composition operation. Our purpose is not to make or claim any contribution to category theory but rather to show how formalizations involving the kind of logic required (free logic) can be validated within modern proof assistants. A total of eight different axiom systems is studied. The systems I-VI are shown to be equiva- lent. The axiom system VII slightly modifies axiom system VI to obtain (modulo notational arXiv:1609.01493v5 [cs.LO] 12 Oct 2018 transformation) the set of axioms as proposed by Freyd and Scedrov in their textbook “Cat- egories, Allegories” [10], published in 1990; see also Subsection 9.2 where we present their original system.

The proposed appointment of Dr Sethuraman Panchanathan, Senior Vice President of the Office of Knowledge Enterprise Development at Arizona State University (ASU), was announced by the White House Friday with 15 other key administration posts. "Our nation will be greatly served by the talent and expertise these individuals bring to their new roles. I am grateful they have agreed to serve in this Administration, and I look forward to working with them in the months and years ahead," Obama said. At over thirty, the Obama administration has more Indian-Americans working at high places than in any other previous administration. Panchanathan, who has held his current position at ASU since 2011, previously worked as a Data Communication Engineer for International Software India Limited in Chennai, India in 1986. He received a BSc from the University of Madras, a BE from the Indian Institute of Science, an MTech from the Indian Institute of Technology, and a PhD from the University of Ottawa, Canada. Panchanathan has held a number of positions at Arizona State University since 1998.

We will have to contend with the profound transformation of our society and our industry, because of two revolutions in the making – namely, the digital revolution and the impending transition to fossil fuel free energy globally. The digital revolution is rapidly transforming the very nature of industrial enterprise today. Many disruptive transformations are maturing rapidly because of the advent of cloud computing and internet of things (IoT) and due to major advances and breakthroughs being made on several fronts such as artificial intelligence (AI) including machine learning (ML) and big data analytics, robotics, autonomy, drones, 3D printing, advance sensors and 5G technologies.

  • £3M Is Chipped in for Computer Unit
    £3m is chipped in for computer unit http://news.scotsman.com/print.cfm?id=970492004&referringtemplat... print close Fri 20 Aug 2004 £3m is chipped in for computer unit GARETH EDWARDS THE creation of a cutting edge computer research centre in the Capital has moved a step closer thanks to a £3 million funding boost. The Wolfson Foundation, a charitable foundation which advances the sciences and the arts, has pledged £2m towards a Wolfson Centre for Informatics and the Life Sciences. The centre would be part of the Informatics Forum, a new £40m facility bringing together Edinburgh University’s researchers in computer science, artificial intelligence and cognitive science. The foundation’s award coincides with a separate pledge of £1m over six years from the Edinburgh-based chip developer Wolfson Microelectronics. The hi-tech company started life as a research project at the university and now makes chips for Apple iPods and the Microsoft X-Box games console. It has donated the money to fund research fellowships in informatics and microelectronics for PhD students. Professor Michael Fourman, head of the university’s School of Informatics, said the funding brought the completion of the site closer. He said: "I am absolutely delighted at this announcement and it has taken us a step closer to creating this facility. "Its importance is not only bringing together the various elements of the informatics school - its location will put us right at the heart of the university and we will be able to interact with departments as varied as linguistics and neurosciences." The forum will be sited in a 12,000sq m building at the centre of the university’s main campus.
