			SOFSEM 2013

	39th International Conference on Current Trends
	    in Theory and Practice of Computer Science
		      January 26-31, 2013
	       VZ Bedrichov (Spindleruv Mlyn)
		        Czech Republic


Dear Sofsemists, dear Colleagues and Friends,

It is our great pleasure to announce the opening of the SOFSEM 2013
conference submission system. The submission system is available at:
https://www.easychair.org/account/signin.cgi?conf=sofsem2013

or in the section "For Authors" from the SOFSEM 2013 conference web page

		      http://www.sofsem.cz/

The site also provides a lot of interesting information about the next
SOFSEM.

SOFSEM 2013 will consist of four tracks and will be focussed on the 
following topics:

 * FOUNDATIONS OF COMPUTER SCIENCE

    algorithms and data structures, including sequential, parallel,
    distributed, randomized, online and approximation algorithms,
    automata theory, grammars, formal languages, rewriting,
    computational biology,
    complexity theory,
    computational geometry,
    computational learning theory,
    discrete mathematics related to computer science,
    quantum computing,
    logics and semantics of programs,
    theory of databases, semi-structured data, and finite model theory,
    theory of programming languages.

    information and knowledge visualization.

 * SOCIAL COMPUTING and HUMAN FACTORS
   (chaired by Frans C. A. Groen)

    computational science.


Moreover, for PhD students there will be the traditional `STUDENT
RESEARCH FORUM'. Student papers (with a checked Student Contribution at
the Submission System) not accepted for a regular track but of sufficient
high quality can be selected for in the Student Research Forum. Their
authors will have a nice opportunity to present their ideas in front
of the main SOFSEM 2012 audience
