Research activities
Programming theory is the study of Computer Programming. At the University of Bergen we focus on the use of mathematical theory (such as logic, formal languages, universal algebra and category theory) in understanding programming concepts. The concepts may be from specification or programming languages, or be more general software structuring mechanisms and patterns. The activity ranges from theoretical studies via building of support tools to practical software development. Much of the activity is focused on algebraic methods, including non-determinism, but we are also working with Java technologies.
