Swansea University, Wales, UK, 5-7 September 2011

INTRODUCTION
The Workshop on Domains is aimed at computer scientists and
mathematicians alike who share an interest in the mathematical
foundations of computation. The workshop will focus on domains,
their applications and related topics. Previous meetings were
held in Darmstadt (94,99,04), Braunschweig (96), Munich (97),
Siegen (98), Birmingham (02), Novosibirsk (07) and Brighton (08).
Besides its traditional topics Domains X will have the
special themes 'Modelling Computational Effects' and
'Modelling Continuous Data.'
The emphasis at Domains workshops is on the exchange of ideas
between participants similar in style to Dagstuhl seminars.
In particular, talks on subjects presented at other conferences
and workshops are acceptable.

SCOPE
Domain theory has had applications to programming language
semantics and logics (lambda-calculus, PCF, LCF), recursion theory
(Kleene-Kreisel countable functionals), general topology
(injective spaces, function spaces, locally compact spaces, Stone
duality), topological algebra (compact Hausdorff semilattices) and
analysis (measure, integration, dynamical systems). Moreover,
these applications are related - for example, Stone duality gives
rise to a logic of observable properties of computational
processes.
As such, domain theory is highly interdisciplinary. Topics of
interaction with domain theory for this workshop include, but are
not limited to:
program semantics
program logics
probabilistic computation
exact computation over the real numbers
lambda calculus
games
models of sequential computation
constructive mathematics
recursion theory
realizability
real analysis and computability
topology, metric spaces and domains
locale theory
category theory
topos theory
type theory
