This guest lecture will be shared together with the functional programming course. The re-scheduling is due to some miscommunication, and I am sorry for the inconvenience. All other lectures are according to normal schedule, including the guest lecture by Philippas Tsigas this Wednesday at 13.15 in EL43 according to standard schedule.
