About This Workshop

Commemorating the 40th anniversary of the twin town relationship between Kanazawa and Nancy, we organise the first JAIST-LORIA workshop. The workshop aims at bringing together researchers of both institutes to foster a cooperative relationship in research and education.

Venue

The workshop takes place at the next venue:

In this talk, I will give a very brief description of my research, which is in the borderline between finite model theory, structural graph theory, and complexity theory. In particular, I will present a number of results connecting those areas, including logic for PTIME and optimal algorithms, graph algorithms using logic methods, etc. Moreover, I will discuss some ongoing work.

Algebraic Specification with CafeOBJ
Norbert Preining (JAIST)

I will give a short introduction to the Algebraic Specification / CafeOBJ Group at JAIST, followed by an example from my own research on fairness and lockout-freeness of QLock protocoll. I will also touch some of my other research areas in many-valued and intermediate logics.

Access to Kanazawa

from Tokyo Narita Airport to Kanazawa Station:

Please take a limousine bus to Haneda Airport (HND), fly to Komatsu Airport (KMQ), and then take an airport bus (time table) to Kanazawa. Note that there are also direct flights between Narita and Komatsu (but not many).

from Kansai International Airport to Kanazawa Station:

Please take a suitable train (type "Kansai Airport" in "From" and "Kanazawa" in "To"). Since trains are going frequently, you can simply take the next one. You must change trains at Shin-Osaka. For general information, please see this website. The site describes how to get to Fukui (a city between Shin-Osaka and Kanazawa) in great detail, including instructions for buying tickets and changing trains.

from Kanazawa Station to Venue and Hotels around Venue:

The easiest way is to go by taxi (approx 1,000 yen) from the station.

Hotels in Kanazawa

We recommend to stay at a hotel in the center of the city (Katamachi or Korinbou) rather than one around Kanazawa Station. Here we list a few hotels (4,000 – 10,000 JPY). You may find many other hotels at: Rakuten Travel
