Yves Guiraud, Philippe Malbos and Samuel Mimram have organised the third edition of the Higher-Dimensional Rewriting and Algebra (HDRA) workshop of the Formal Structures for Computation and Deduction conference (FSCD), held in Oxford in September 2017.
Yves Guiraud and Samuel Mimram, with Dimitri Ara (Univ. Aix-Marseille) have organised the “Categories in Homotopy and Rewriting” one-week international conference, at the CIRM, in Marseille, in September 2017. As the closing conference of the Cathre ANR project, focused on higher-dimensional algebra, this conference attracted 80 participants, working in category theory, algebraic topology, logic and theoretical computer science.
