SOFSEM 2012
38th International Conference on Current Trends in Theory and Practice of Computer Science January 21-27, 2012 Orea Hotel HORAL (Spindleruv Mlyn) Czech Republic http://www.sofsem.cz/
Dear Sofsemists, dear Colleagues and Friends,
It is our great pleasure to invite you to submit a paper for one of the four SOFSEM 2012 tracks:
* FOUNDATIONS of COMPUTER SCIENCE * SOFTWARE and WEB ENGINEERING * CRYPTOGRAPHY, SECURITY and VERIFICATION * ARTICIAL INTELLIGENCE;
with extended support for student papers in the traditional
* STUDENT RESEARCH FORUM.
All accepted papers for regular tracks (after registration and payment) will be included in the conference proceedings published in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science - LNCS - Series by Springer Verlag. Student papers accepted for the SOFSEM Student Research Forum (after registration and payment) will be published in SOFSEM 2012 local proceedings.
We would especially like to attract your attention to the
SPECIAL EVENT: SESSION on TURING MACHINES.
In memory of Alan Turing, whose 100th anniversary is celebrated in 2012, SOSFEM 2012 will host a session on Turing machines. The session will consist of invited and contributed talks on Turing machines as the basic model of computability and complexity, and reporting new developments related to models inspired by, for example, biology and physics. SOFSEM 2012 is among the official Centenary Events of The Alan Turing Year (for more details see http://www.turingcentenary.eu/)
We hope that you find the SOFSEM 2012 tracks and topics - for details see
http://www.sofsem.cz/sofsem12/index.php?page=call
