The school has a long and successful tradition (sponsored by the NSF, ACM SIGPLAN, and industry).  It covers current research in the theory and practice of programming languages.  Material is presented at a tutorial level that will help graduate students and researchers from academia or industry understand the critical issues and open problems confronting the field.  Prerequisites are an elementary knowledge of logic and mathematics, as covered in undergraduate classes on discrete mathematics, and some knowledge of programming languages at the level of an undergraduate survey course.&nbsp;</pre><pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; ">A new feature this year is a Coq boot camp session, to be held on July 21st -- one day before the summer school officially begins.  The boot camp will provide a one-day, intensive, hands-on introduction to the practical mechanics of the Coq proof assistant.  More information is available at the summer school website. </pre></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace; "><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace; "><br></span></div>This year's program is titled Types, Logic, and Verification. &nbsp;The speakers and topics include</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace; ">:</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace; ">&nbsp;</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace; "><br></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace; ">Amal Ahmed -- Logical Relations</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace; "><br></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace; ">Northeastern University</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace; "><br></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace; "><br></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace; ">Robert Harper -- Type Theory Foundations</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace; "><br></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace; ">Carnegie Mellon University</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace; "><br></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace; "><br></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace; ">Dan Licata -- Dependently-Typed Programming in Agda</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace; "><br></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace; ">Carnegie Mellon University and Institute for Advanced Study</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace; ">&nbsp;</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace; "><br></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace; "><br></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace; ">Greg Morrisett -- Coq as a Programming Language</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace; "><br></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace; ">Harvard University</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace; "><br></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace; "><br></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace; ">Simon Peyton-Jones -- Adventures with Types in Haskell</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace; "><br></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace; ">Microsoft Research</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace; "><br></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace; "><br></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace; ">Frank Pfenning -- Linear Logic and Session-based Concurrency</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace; "><br></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace; ">Carnegie Mellon University</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace; "><br></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace; "><br></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace; ">Andrew Tolmach -- Software Foundations in Coq</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace; "><br></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace; ">Portland State University</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace; "><br></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace; "><br></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monosp
