Subject: This week in ACL2 --- not Jared, but Scott Date: Mon, 05 Jun 2006 15:00:55 -0500 From: Robert Bellarmine Krug Greetings, This week Scott Doerrie from Johns Hopkins will be speaking at the ACL2 meeting. I, Robert, had neglected to update Sol on Scott's plans, and Jared had erroneously been asked to speak. Scott will talk about his work with formalizing and verifying properties of a capabilities based system. A more detailed abstract will be sent out before the meeting. The talk should assume no background in what a capability based system is, and so should be accessible to all. He has been learning ACL2 largely on his own, and is visiting UT for a week hoping to learn some more about ACL2 and any tricks or techniques we can help him with. Please come and learn about his work so far, and provide feedback on how he can move on from here. Thanks, Robert
