THEORY CANAL: The Rochester Theory Seminar Series 2008-2009


The THEORY CANAL meeting (the Rochester Theory Seminar) is a joint project of the RIT and UR theory groups, and the focus is all areas of theoretical computer science. THEORY CANAL meets (when RIT and UR classes are in session) on the first and third Monday (and usually, when a fifth exists, the fifth Monday) of each month. (Due to slot demand, school holidays, and religious holidays, there are sometimes exceptions to that rule: Mondays of that form that we skip and Mondays not of that form that we don't skip. So see the schedule below for the actual dates.) The talks start at 12:30PM and typically take 60 to 90 minutes.

The meetings this year will be held in Room 703, Computer Studies Building, University of Rochester, Rochester, NY 14627.

The meetings are open to the public; all are very welcome.
