APLAS 2014: 2nd Call for papers
by Jacques Garrigue 13 Apr '14

13 Apr '14

APLAS 2014の論文募集案内を再送します。アブストラクト〆切までまだ1ヶ月半残っていますので、よろしくお願いします。 Jacques Garrigue =============================================================== APLAS 2014 12th Asian Symposium on Programming Languages and Systems http://www.math.nagoya-u.ac.jp/~garrigue/APLAS2014/ 17-19 November 2014, Singapore CALL FOR PAPERS =============================================================== ================ INVITED SPEAKERS ================ Zhenjiang Hu (NII, Japan) Dexter Kozen (Cornell University, USA) Julien Verlaguet (Facebook, USA) ========== BACKGROUND ========== APLAS aims to stimulate programming language research by providing a forum for the presentation of latest results and the exchange of ideas in programming languages and systems. APLAS is based in Asia, but is an international forum that serves the worldwide programming language community. APLAS is sponsored by the Asian Association for Foundation of Software (AAFS) founded by Asian researchers in cooperation with many researchers from Europe and the USA. Past APLAS symposiums were successfully held in Melbourne ('13), Kyoto ('12), Kenting ('11), Shanghai ('10), Seoul ('09), Bangalore ('08), Singapore ('07), Sydney ('06), Tsukuba ('05), Taipei ('04) and Beijing ('03) after three informal workshops. Proceedings of the past symposiums were published in Springer's LNCS. ====== TOPICS ====== The symposium is devoted to foundational and practical issues in programming languages and systems. Papers are solicited on topics such as * semantics, logics, foundational theory; * design of languages, type systems and foundational calculi; * domain-specific languages; * compilers, interpreters, abstract machines; * program derivation, synthesis and transformation; * program analysis, verification, model-checking; * logic, constraint, probabilistic and quantum programming; * software security; * concurrency and parallelism; * tools and environments for programming and implementation. Topics are not limited to those discussed in previous symposiums. Papers identifying future directions of programming and those addressing the rapid changes of the underlying computing platforms are especially welcome. Demonstration of systems and tools in the scope of APLAS are welcome to the System and Tool presentations category. Authors concerned about the appropriateness of a topic are welcome to consult with the program chair prior to submission. ========== SUBMISSION ========== We solicit submissions in two categories: *Regular research papers* describing original scientific research results, including tool development and case studies. Regular research papers should not exceed 18 pages in the Springer LNCS format, including bibliography and figures. They should clearly identify what has been accomplished and why it is significant. Submissions will be judged on the basis of significance, relevance, correctness, originality, and clarity. In case of lack of space, proofs, experimental results, or any information supporting the technical results of the paper could be provided as an appendix or a link to a web page, but reviewers are not obliged to read them. *System and Tool presentations* describing systems or tools that support theory, program construction, reasoning, or program execution in the scope of APLAS. System and Tool presentations are expected to be centered around a demonstration. The paper and the demonstration should identify the novelties of the tools and use motivating examples. System and Tool papers should not exceed 8 pages in the Springer LNCS format, including bibliography and figures. Submissions will be judged based on both the papers and the described systems or tools. It is highly desirable that the tools are available on the web. Papers should be submitted electronically via the submission web page: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aplas2014 Acceptable formats are PostScript or PDF. Submitted papers must be unpublished and not submitted for publication elsewhere. Papers must be written in English. The proceedings will be published as a volume in Springer's LNCS series. Accepted papers must be presented at the conference. ===== DATES ===== Abstracts due: May 26, 2014 (Monday) Submission due: June 2, 2014 (Monday) Notification: August 6, 2014 (Wednesday) Final paper due: September 1, 2014 (Monday) Conference: November 17-19, 2014 (Monday-Wednesday) ========== ORGANIZERS ========== General chair: Wei-Ngan Chin (National University of Singapore) Program chair: Jacques Garrigue (Nagoya University) Program committee: Xiaojuan Cai (Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China) James Chapman (Institute of Cybernetics, Estonia) Cristian Gherghina (Singapore University of Technology and Design) Eric Goubault (CEA LIST and Ecole Polytechnique, France) Fei He (Tsinghua University, China) Gerwin Klein (NICTA and UNSW, Australia) Raghavan Komondoor (Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore) Paddy Krishnan (Oracle, Australia) Daan Leijen (Microsoft Research, USA) Yasuhiko Minamide (University of Tsukuba, Japan) Shin-Cheng Mu (Academia Sinica, Taiwan) Sungwoo Park (Pohang University of Science and Technology, Korea) Julian Rathke (University of Southampton, UK) Sukyoung Ryu (KAIST, Korea) Alexandra Silva (Radboud University Nijmegen, Netherlands) Martin Sulzmann (Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences, Germany) Munehiro Takimoto (Tokyo University of Science, Japan) Jan Vitek (Purdue University, USA) Hongwei Xi (Boston University, USA) ======= CONTACT ======= aplas2014 at easychair.org

Talk by Prof. Andrzej Tarlecki from U. Warsaw
by Atsushi Igarashi 31 Mar '14

31 Mar '14

京都大学の五十嵐です．来たる4/11(金)に University of Warsaw の Andrzej Tarlecki さんをお迎えして，以下の要領でセミナーを行う予定です．事前登録不要でどなたでもご参加頂けますので，ふるってご参加ください．よろしくお願いいたします．日時: 4/11(金) 13:30〜14:30 場所: 京都大学吉田キャンパス総合研究7号館(旧工学部10号館) 1階セミナー室1 ==================================================================== Categories, Institutions, Abstract Model Theory, and Software Specification Andrzej Tarlecki University of Warsaw One goal of this presentation is to show some examples where the use of category theory, via the theory of institutions, led to beautiful, general and generic results, applicable in many different contexts, and to a better understanding of some standard classical results and ideas from mathematical logic and from the theory of algebraic specifications. The theory of institutions uses the language of category theory to offer a simple formalisation of the concept of a logical system, where sentences and semantic structures are abstract objects linked by a satisfaction relation, classified by (abstract) signatures. The key tool used when working with institutions is a categorical structure imposed on the collection of signatures, together with (covariant) translations of sentences and (contravariant) reducts of semantic structures induced by signature morphisms in a way that preserves satisfaction. Nearly all (if not quite all) logical systems fit such an institutional mould. An ambitious research programme is to mimic developments that classically concern, or rely on a particular logical system within an arbitrary institution, perhaps subject to some further requirements. In this way, we may arrive at general results that apply to many logical systems and, perhaps more importantly, capture a better understanding of the essence of many classical results and ideas. In this talk I will present the basics of the theory of institutions, and will draw examples from institutional abstract model theory (interpolation and definability results) and foundations of software specification and development (specification structure and its use) to illustrate this point. -- 五十嵐淳 (IGARASHI Atsushi) E-mail: igarashi(a)kuis.kyoto-u.ac.jp url: http://www.fos.kuis.kyoto-u.ac.jp/~igarashi/

Prof. Jean-Pierre Jouannaud at NII Logic Seminar
by Makoto Tatsuta 31 Mar '14

31 Mar '14

Prof. Jean-Pierre Jouannaud at NII Logic Seminar Date: April 7, 2014, 14:00--16:00 Place: National Institute of Informatics, Room 1208 (12th floor) 場所: 国立情報学研究所 12階 1208室 (半蔵門線,都営地下鉄三田線・新宿線神保町駅または東西線竹橋駅より徒歩5分) (地図 http://www.nii.ac.jp/about/access/) Speaker: Prof. Jean-Pierre Jouannaud (Tsinghua University and Ecole Polytechnique) Title: Confluence by critical pair analysis Abstract: Knuth and Bendix showed that confluence of a terminating first-order rewrite system can be reduced to the joinability of its finitely many critical pairs. In this paper, we show that this is still true of a rewrite system RT union RNT such that RT is terminating and RNT is a left-linear, rank non-increasing, possibly non-terminating, rewrite system: confluence can then be reduced to the joinability of the critical pairs of RT and to the existence of decreasing diagrams for the critical pairs of RT inside RNT, as well as for the parallel critical pairs of RNT. Since left-linearity and rank non-increasingness are easily decided in linear time, implementing our test in a system like CSI (Innsbruck) should require little effort for a wide benefit. We believe that this applies to higher-order systems as well. Further, we shall discuss an old open problem of Huet in the form of a non-terminating, non-confluent, critical pair free rewrite system, and will show that it has a "hidden critical pair" which joinability (if it were joinable) would imply its confluence. This is a joint work with Jiaxiang Liu. 問合せ先: 龍田真 (国立情報学研究所) e-mail: tatsuta(a)nii.ac.jp http://research.nii.ac.jp/~tatsuta

The thread of the school we propose is to mirror this development, known as mathematical philosophy or formal epistemology; to highlight the challenges that arise from it; and to display its repercussions in mathematics. As for theoretical computer science, a quite comparable spin-off of mathematics, the principal counterpart within mathematics is mathematical logic. Since many of the objects of study lie beyond the typical commitment of contemporary mathematics, it is decisive to include non-classical issues such as predicativity and constructivity. Proof theory does indeed play a pivotal role: as the area of mathematical logic that is closest to the understanding of logic as the science of formal languages and reasoning, it is predestined for interaction both with philosophical and computer science logic. A hot topic that crosses over wide ranges of the school, and is most prominently represented within, is whether axiomatic theories of truth and of related notions, such as provability and knowledge, are possible at all in the stress field between syntax and semantics. Rational belief and rational choice, epistemic issues of principal philosophical relevance, are put under mathematical scrutiny by applying probabilism: that is, the thesis that a rational agent's degrees of belief should conform to the axioms of probability theory. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Professor Hajime Ishihara School of Information Science Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology 1-1 Asahidai, Nomi, Ishikawa 923-1292, Japan Tel: +81-761-51-1206 Fax: +81-761-51-1149 ishihara(a)jaist.ac.jp http://www.jaist.ac.jp/~ishihara

皆様ミュンヘン大学のHelmut Schwichtenberg先生の連続講演のお知らせです。ふるってご参加ください。問合せ先：石原　哉北陸先端科学技術大学院大学情報科学研究科 e-mail: ishihara(a)jaist.ac.jp -------------------------------------------------- * JAIST Logic Seminar Series * * This seminar is held as a part of the EU FP7 Marie Curie Actions IRSES project CORCON. Date: Wednesday 5, Thursday 6, Friday 7 March, 2014, 15:10-16:40 Place: JAIST, Lecture room I1 (Access: http://www.jaist.ac.jp/english/location/access.html) Speaker: Professor Helmut Schwichtenberg (Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet Muenchen, Germany) Title: Computational content of proofs *Wednesday 5 March, 2014, 15:10-16:40* Lecture 1. Computing with partial continuous functionals. We define computable functionals of finite type, with the Scott-Ersov partial continuous functionals as domains. A term language T+ (a common extension of Goedel's T and Plotkin's PCF) is introduced to denote computable functionals. *Thursday 6 March, 2014, 15:10-16:40* Lecture 2. A theory of computable functionals. Based on T+ we define a logical language whose quantifiers range over partial continuous functionals and whose predicates are inductively defined. We obtain a theory TCF of computable functionals by adding introduction and elimination axioms for inductive predicates to minimal logic. TCF admits a realizability interpretation (by terms in T+) and a soundness theorem can be proved. *Friday 7 March, 2014, 15:10-16:40* Lecture 3. Extracting programs from proofs. Every constructive proof of an existential theorem (or problem; Kolmogorov 1932) contains a construction of a solution. To get hold of such a solution we have two methods. (a) Write-and-verify. Guided by the constructive proof directly write a program to compute the solution, and then prove (verify) that this is the case. (b) Prove-and-extract. Formalize the proof and extract its computational content in the form of a realizing term t. Since the latter approach requires formalization of the proof it is less popular. But it has advantages. (i) Dealing with a problem on the proof level allows abstract mathematical tools and a good organization of the material. Both help to adapt the proof to changed specifications. (ii) The extracted term can be automatically verified, by means of a formalization of the soundness theorem. As an example of the prove-and-extract method we build a parser for the Dyck language of balanced parentheses. -- Professor Hajime Ishihara School of Information Science Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology 1-1 Asahidai, Nomi, Ishikawa 923-1292, Japan Tel: +81-761-51-1206 Fax: +81-761-51-1149 ishihara(a)jaist.ac.jp http://www.jaist.ac.jp/~ishihara

Fw: last CFP - DEON2014
by Ken Satoh 23 Feb '14

23 Feb '14

LAST CALL FOR PAPERS - DEON 2014 12th International Conference on Deontic logic and Normative Systems 12-15 July 2014, Ghent, Belgium http://www.deon2014.ugent.be [co-located with TiL 2014] The biennial DEON conferences are designed to promote interdisciplinary cooperation amongst scholars interested in linking the formal-logical study of normative concepts and normative systems with computer science, artificial intelligence, philosophy, organization theory and law. In addition to these general themes, DEON 2014 will encourage a special focus on the topic: Deontic modalities in natural language There have been eleven previous DEON conferences: Amsterdam, December 1991; Oslo, January 1994; Sesimbra, January 1996; Bologna, January 1998; Toulouse, January 2000; London, May 2002; Madeira, May 2004; Utrecht, July 2006, Luxembourg, July 2008, Fiesole July 2010, Bergen, July 2012. This DEON will be colocated with the 2014 edition of TiL (Trends in Logic), 8 July - 11 July, same venue: http://entiaetnomina.blogspot.be/p/trends-in-logic-xiv.html ------------ General Themes ------------ The Program Committee invites papers concerned with the following topics: • the logical study of normative reasoning, including formal systems of deontic logic, defeasible normative reasoning, logics of action, logics of time, and other related areas of logic • the formal analysis of normative concepts and normative systems • the formal specification of aspects of norm-governed multi-agent systems and autonomous agents, including (but not limited to) the representation of rights, authorization, delegation, power, responsibility and liability • the normative aspects of protocols for communication, negotiation and multi-agent decision making • the formal representation of legal knowledge • the formal specification of normative systems for the management of bureaucratic processes in public or private administration • applications of normative logic to the specification of database integrity constraints ----------- Special Theme ----------- DEON 2014’s special focus is “Deontic modalities in natural language”. Deontic or normative modality is a subject of common interest for researchers in several fields, including moral philosophy, meta-ethics, linguistic semantics, and deontic logic. Over the past, the deontic modalities have been extensively studied on the logic side. Comparatively, much less attention has been paid to them from a natural language perspective, at least in DEON. There has been a growing interest from linguists in the study of the deontic modalities, mostly in the US, under the influence of Angelika Kratzer’s work. A Deontic Modality Workshop was held in Los Angeles on May 20-22, 2013. We encourage submission of papers describing problems from a natural language perspective that can be a challenge for deontic logic. Topics of interest in this special theme include, but are not limited to: • Challenges from natural language for deontic logic • Relationship between deontic and other types of modality: epistemic modality, imperatives, supererogatory, etc • New insights on the deontic paradoxes • Modeling values • Game theoretic aspects of deontic reasoning • Emergence of norms • Norms from a conversational point of view • Norms and argumentation We welcome theoretical work (formal models, representations, logics, specifications, verification), implementation-oriented work (programming languages, design models, simulations, prototype systems) and empirically driven work (linguistics) on these specific topics. Invited Speakers ------------- Sven Ove Hansson (Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm) Magdalena Kaufmann (University of Connecticut) Paul McNamara (University of New Hampshire) Krister Segerberg (Uppsala University) Bryan Skyrms (University of California, Irvine) Submission Details --------------- Authors are invited to submit an original, previously unpublished, research paper pertaining to any of these topics. The paper should be in English, and should be no longer than 15 pages when formatted according the LNCS specifications. The first page should contain the full name and contact information for at least one of the authors, and it should contain an abstract of no more than ten lines. Authors should submit their papers electronically using easychair: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=deon2014 Each submitted paper will be carefully peer-reviewed by a panel of PC member based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of exposition and relevance for the conference. For each accepted paper, at least one author is required to register for the conference and should plan to present the paper. Publication --------- Copies of the workshop proceedings will be provided to all participants. The proceedings will be published with Springer in their LNCS/LNAI series. During the conference, Springer will also provide temporary free access to the online version of the proceedings on SpringerLink. In addition, we anticipate that revised versions of selected papers from the workshop will subsequently be published in a special issue of the deontic corner of the Journal of Logic and Computation.

APLAS 2014: Call for papers
by Jacques Garrigue 21 Feb '14

21 Feb '14

11月にシンガポールで開催されるAPLASの論文募集案内をお送りします。投稿締め切りは5月26日で、例年より早いですが、ご検討をよろしくお願いいたします。 Jacques Garrigue =============================================================== APLAS 2014 12th Asian Symposium on Programming Languages and Systems http://www.math.nagoya-u.ac.jp/~garrigue/APLAS2014/ 17-19 November 2014, Singapore CALL FOR PAPERS =============================================================== ========== BACKGROUND ========== APLAS aims to stimulate programming language research by providing a forum for the presentation of latest results and the exchange of ideas in programming languages and systems. APLAS is based in Asia, but is an international forum that serves the worldwide programming language community. APLAS is sponsored by the Asian Association for Foundation of Software (AAFS) founded by Asian researchers in cooperation with many researchers from Europe and the USA. Past APLAS symposiums were successfully held in Melbourne ('13), Kyoto ('12), Kenting ('11), Shanghai ('10), Seoul ('09), Bangalore ('08), Singapore ('07), Sydney ('06), Tsukuba ('05), Taipei ('04) and Beijing ('03) after three informal workshops. Proceedings of the past symposiums were published in Springer's LNCS. ====== TOPICS ====== The symposium is devoted to foundational and practical issues in programming languages and systems. Papers are solicited on topics such as * semantics, logics, foundational theory; * design of languages, type systems and foundational calculi; * domain-specific languages; * compilers, interpreters, abstract machines; * program derivation, synthesis and transformation; * program analysis, verification, model-checking; * logic, constraint, probabilistic and quantum programming; * software security; * concurrency and parallelism; * tools and environments for programming and implementation. Topics are not limited to those discussed in previous symposiums. Papers identifying future directions of programming and those addressing the rapid changes of the underlying computing platforms are especially welcome. Demonstration of systems and tools in the scope of APLAS are welcome to the System and Tool presentations category. Authors concerned about the appropriateness of a topic are welcome to consult with the program chair prior to submission. ========== SUBMISSION ========== We solicit submissions in two categories: *Regular research papers* describing original scientific research results, including tool development and case studies. Regular research papers should not exceed 18 pages in the Springer LNCS format, including bibliography and figures. They should clearly identify what has been accomplished and why it is significant. Submissions will be judged on the basis of significance, relevance, correctness, originality, and clarity. In case of lack of space, proofs, experimental results, or any information supporting the technical results of the paper could be provided as an appendix or a link to a web page, but reviewers are not obliged to read them. *System and Tool presentations* describing systems or tools that support theory, program construction, reasoning, or program execution in the scope of APLAS. System and Tool presentations are expected to be centered around a demonstration. The paper and the demonstration should identify the novelties of the tools and use motivating examples. System and Tool papers should not exceed 8 pages in the Springer LNCS format, including bibliography and figures. Submissions will be judged based on both the papers and the described systems or tools. It is highly desirable that the tools are available on the web. Papers should be submitted electronically via the submission web page: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aplas2014 Acceptable formats are PostScript or PDF. Submitted papers must be unpublished and not submitted for publication elsewhere. Papers must be written in English. The proceedings will be published as a volume in Springer's LNCS series. Accepted papers must be presented at the conference. ===== DATES ===== Abstracts due: May 26, 2014 (Monday) Submission due: June 2, 2014 (Monday) Notification: August 6, 2014 (Wednesday) Final paper due: September 1, 2014 (Monday) Conference: November 17-19, 2014 (Monday-Wednesday) ========== ORGANIZERS ========== General chair: Wei-Ngan Chin (National University of Singapore) Program chair: Jacques Garrigue (Nagoya University) Program committee: Xiaojuan Cai (Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China) James Chapman (Institute of Cybernetics, Estonia) Cristian Gherghina (Singapore University of Technology and Design) Eric Goubault (CEA LIST and Ecole Polytechnique, France) Fei He (Tsinghua University, China) Gerwin Klein (NICTA and UNSW, Australia) Raghavan Komondoor (Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore) Paddy Krishnan (Oracle, Australia) Daan Leijen (Microsoft Research, USA) Yasuhiko Minamide (University of Tsukuba, Japan) Shin-Cheng Mu (Academia Sinica, Taiwan) Sungwoo Park (Pohang University of Science and Technology, Korea) Julian Rathke (University of Southampton, UK) Sukyoung Ryu (KAIST, Korea) Alexandra Silva (Radboud University Nijmegen, Netherlands) Martin Sulzmann (Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences, Germany) Munehiro Takimoto (Tokyo University of Science, Japan) Jan Vitek (Purdue University, USA) Hongwei Xi (Boston University, USA) ======= CONTACT ======= aplas2014 at easychair.org

Talk by Mingsheng Ying, Friday next week (Feb 7)
by Ichiro Hasuo 29 Jan '14

29 Jan '14

Dear colleagues, Next week on Friday we have a talk by Prof. Mingsheng Ying (UT Sydney & Tsinghua). He visits us on the occasion of the PhD defense of Takahiro Kubota (http://hagi.is.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~tk/) which is on the same date, 13:00-15:00 in the same room. Feel free to join us. See you there! Best regards, Ichiro Hasuo http://www-mmm.is.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp/?plain=false&lang=en&pos=seminar ------------------------------ Fri 7 February 2014, 16:30-18:00 Mingsheng Ying <http://quantum-lab.org/mingsheng/> (University of Technology Sydney & Tsinghua University) Reachability Analysis of Quantum Markov Chains 理学部7号館2階 214教室 Room 214, School of Science Bldg. No. 7 アクセス： https://www-mmm.is.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp/indexj.html （一番下） Access: http://www-mmm.is.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp/ (see bottom) The talk will be based on our Concur'12 and Concur'13 papers, which study verification of quantum systems, including quantum programs, modelled by quantum Markov chains (qMCs). We consider three kinds of long-term behaviour, namely reachability, repeated reachability and persistence, of qMCs. As a stepping-stone, we introduce the notion of bottom strongly connected component (BSCC) of a qMC and develop an algorithm for finding BSCC decompositions of the state space of a qMC. As the major contribution, several (classical) algorithms for computing the reachability, repeated reachability and persistence probabilities of a qMC are presented, and their complexities are analysed.

Details of the meeting are given below. MFPS XXX http://www.cs.cornell.edu/Conferences/MFPS30/ Thirtieth Conference on the Mathematical Foundations of Programming Semantics Cornell University Ithaca, NY USA 12 - 15 June 2014 The Thirtieth Conference on the Mathematical Foundations of Programming Semantics will take place on the campus of the Cornell University, Ithaca, NY USA from June 12 through June 15, 2014. MFPS conferences are devoted to those areas of mathematics, logic, and computer science that are related to models of computation, in general, and to the semantics of programming languages, in particular. The series has particularly stressed providing a forum where researchers in mathematics and computer science can meet and exchange ideas about problems of common interest. As the series also strives to maintain breadth in its scope, the conference strongly encourages participation by researchers in neighboring areas. TOPICS include, but are not limited to, the following: biocomputation; concurrent qualitative and quantitative distributed systems; process calculi; probabilistic systems; constructive mathematics; domain theory and categorical models; formal languages; formal methods; game semantics; lambda calculus; programming-language theory; quantum computation; security; topological models; logic; type systems; type theory. We also welcome contributions that address applications of semantics to novel areas such as complex systems, markets, and networks, for example. INVITED SPEAKERS: Nick Benton, Microsoft Research, Cambridge, UK Andy Gordon, Microsoft Research, Cambridge, UK Elham Kashefi, University of Edinburgh, UK Prakash Panangaden, McGill University, Canada Alexandra Silva, Radboud University, Nijmegen, The Netherlands SPECIAL SESSIONS: There will be two special sessions at the meeting, each associated with one of the plenary talks: * Probabilistic computing, organized by Andy Gordon * Quantum Computing, organized by Elham Kashefi Additional special sessions also may be organized. There also will be a series of TUTORIAL LECTURES during the meeting - the topic and list of speakers are still being arranged. PROGRAM COMMITTEE: The Program Committee for MFPS XXX is being co-chaired by Bart Jacobs, Alexandra Silva and Sam Staton (Radboud University).
