Title: Algebraic topology and Concurrency

Abstract: Algebraic topology, which started out as an approach to
problems in physics, then developed as a curiosity driven area for
almost a century. The last 15-20 years, a number of new applications
have had the benefit of this very well developed mathematical area. the
focus in this talk is on new models for concurrency, and how this has
sparked new mathematical problems, in fact a new area, directed
topology,  while also giving rise to algorithms and theoretical insight
on the computer science side.
There will be an introduction to the model and the mathematics and
examples of applications. In particular symmetric problems, where a
thread runs in parallel with itself - so called cut-off problems.

Short bio:
PhD in Algebraic Topology from Univ. of Aarhus, Denmark.
One of the founders of directed algebraic topology inspired by
applications in concurrency.
