Tim, I tried all the logical variants of the URL but got errors on all.
Is there a spelling error or something?

JohnK,
I
don't have any first-hand experience with university environments, so I
am not sure how Category Theory might be received - if it would seem
either onerous or useful to them. But it sounds like it would make alot
of sense with respect to the informatics aspect.
I've
not had good luck finding well-written introductory books on Category
Theory. On my (recently enlarged!) Web Resources page (www.panmere.com/webresources.htm),
I have links to a couple of free download texts, but they are
still somewhat difficult - at least for me. On the Book List page, Conceptual
Mathematics is a somewhat reasonable introductory text
(if you can get past the contrived imaginary Socratic dialogs with
students that are supposed to helpful).
Regards,
Tim
Tim,
thanks. Yes, that was my thought as well. I wrote up a flier with the
modeling relation as the central paradigm. From there, I also wonder if
introducing category theory (to myself as well) might be a good idea,
as this would seem to intersect the informatics fields.
