Luca Aceto's Process Algebra Diary


"I love to do research, I want to do research, I have to do research, and I hate to sit down and begin to do research---
I always try to put it off just as long as I can.
....Isn't there something I can (must?) do first? Shouldn't I sharpen my pencils perhaps?"

--Paul Halmos, I Want to be a Mathematician


What is This Page About?

Together with Wan Fokkink and Anna Ingólfsdóttir, I have been thinking for a while that a way of offering a modest, but hopefully useful, contribution to the healthy development of the field of Process Algebra, broadly construed, would be to develop a collection of web resources devoted to this field.

This collection of pages is intended to be an initial step in this direction. Following the lead of the excellent Computational Complexity Weblog maintained by Lance Fortnow, I plan to use these pages to report on papers I find interesting---mostly, but not solely, in Process Algebra---, some fun stuff in Mathematics and Computer Science at large and on general issues related to research, teaching and academic life.

Eventually, Anna, Wan and I hope to extend these pages to form a more complete web resource for researchers in our field.

Comments on these pages are, of course, most welcome!
