SUMMARY:Monads and Lenses - James Cheney\, University of Edinburgh
DTSTART:20170407T130000Z

CONTACT:Dominic Mulligan
DESCRIPTION:Monads are an abstraction that can be used to mathematically m
 odel computational effects (among other things).  Lenses are an abstractio
 n for bidirectional computation\, a generalization of the view-update prob
 lem.  In this talk I will discuss how to combine them and why it might be 
 interesting to do so.\n\nThis talk is on joint work with Faris Abou-Saleh\
 , Jeremy Gibbons\, James McKinna and Perdita Stevens conducted as part of 
 the recently-concluded project "A theory of least change for bidirectional
  transformations".
