Agda Implementors' Meeting XXIX

The twenty-ninth Agda Implementors' Meeting will be held in Tokyo, Japan at Ochanomizu University from 13 March 2019 to 19 March 2019 (Wednesday to Tuesday). The plan is to have:

  • Talks and presentations about the theory, implementation, and use cases of Agda.
  • Many discussions about Agda, including potential new features, goals, milestones.
  • Plenty of time to work on or in Agda, in collaboration with the other participants.

  • Zack: extend standard library with concepts from rewriting theory
  • Youyou: Agda for math education

Wrap-up meeting

  • Day 1

    • Chiaki, Kenichi, Ulf: discussed how to generate error messages and tactics using the reflection library
    • Ulf: trying to steal the effects library from Idris
    • Jesper: improving debugger output
    • Zack: adding rewriting concepts to the standard library

    • Jesper: fixed a problem with Prop
    • Zack: formalizing normalization-related properties
    • Shinji: getting ready for trying Jesper's tactics
    • John, Youyou: formalized motions and first species counterpoints
    • Chiaki, Kenichi: tactics for automatically reducing STLC terms

  • Day 7
    • Ulf: documentation for automatic generalization of variables
    • Jesper: released notes for new Agda; pull request on dependent pattern matching

Lambda Concert Program

  • Thursday

Location

The meeting will take place in Room 602 of Faculty of Science, Building 3 (marked 20 in this map).

    Ochanomizu University
    2-1-1 Otsuka, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo 112-8610, Japan

We could meet up at the Myogadani Station on the first day and walk to the campus together.

Travel to Tokyo by Plane

Tokyo is served by two airports: Haneda (HND) Narita (NRT). Haneda airport is closer to the city center, but direct flights from U.S./European countries are limited.

Accommodation

There are a lot of hotel options in the Korakuen and Ikebukuro area, which are one/two stops away from the campus. Here are some recommendations:

Lunch

Lunch is not included, but the university has a cafeteria, where you can find reasonably priced (and not so bad) food. There are also several restaurants and convenience stores around the campus. Note that Japan is not vegetarian-friendly. If you have any dietary restrictions, Youyou will help you find things that meet your needs.
