At very short notice, my thesis defence will be this coming Monday (August 29th), at 17.30. Floris Roelofsen is also defending, at 16.00 in the same room. The location is the Euclides building on Plantage Muidergracht, room P0.17. (Please contact me if you need directions.)

The topics of the two defences are “Logical Perspectives on Distributed Knowledge and its Dynamics” (Floris) and “Analysing the complexity of games on graphs” (myself). For those unfamiliar with the MSc defence, we give a 40 minute presentation then our examining committee asks some pointed questions, after which they retire into a huddle to decide on the grade to assign. Traditionally this is followed rather swiftly by disappearing off to the pub, to celebrate or commiserate as appropriate.

I’ve placed my thesis online, along with some Java software I wrote for exploring games on graphs as an addition to the thesis proper.
