Semantics of interaction : an introduction to game semantics / Samson Abramsky -- Computational content of classical logic / Thierry Coquand -- Syntax and semantics of dependent types / Martin Hofmann -- Game semantics / Martin Hyland -- Metalanguages and applications / Eugenio Moggi -- Operationally-based theories of program equivalence / Andrew Pitts -- Categories in concurrency / Glynn Winskel and Mogens Nielsen.

The aim of this volume is to present developments in semantics and logics of computation in a way that is accessible to graduate students. The book is based on a summer school at the Isaac Newton Institute and consists of a sequence of linked lecture courses by international authorities in the area. The whole set has been edited to form a coherent introduction to these topics, most of which have not been presented pedagogically before.
