Program – Track B – Theory and Applications of Interaction Nets

Lecturer

Ian Mackie

Introduction

Interaction nets are a very restricted form of graph rewriting which are Turing complete. They are of interest computationally because all the computation steps are explicit within the formalism (no external copying or erasing machinery). Rewrite steps can take place in any order, even in parallel, which makes them well-suited for the implementation of programming languages and other rewriting formalisms. The purpose of these lectures is to give an introduction and overview to some of the theory and applications of interaction nets.
