                       1st Call for Papers

                        SOFSEM 2016 :=

        42th International Conference on Current Trends
          in Theory and Practice of Computer Science
                     January 23-28, 2016
                    Hotel Sklar - Harrachov

Dear Sofsemists, dear Colleagues and Friends,

It is our great pleasure to invite you to submit a paper for the next SOFSEM
2016.


SOFSEM 2016 will consist of three tracks, which include the following
topics:

FOUNDATIONS OF COMPUTER SCIENCE
  chaired by Rusins Freivalds (University of Latvia, Latvia)

 * algorithms and data structures, including approximation, sequential,
   distributed, parallel, online, randomized, or graph algorithms,
 * automata and formal languages, including grammars and rewriting,
 * complexity theory, including computational, descriptional,
   and parametrized,
 * computational game theory,
 * decidability and undecidability questions,
 * discrete mathematics related to computer science,
 * logic in computer science,
 * quantum computing, algorithms, and complexity


SOFTWARE ENGINEERING: Methods, Tools, Applications
  chaired by Gregor Engels (University of Paderborn, Germany)

 * lean/agile development,
 * user-centered development,
 * (situational) method engineering,
 * development/operations (DevOps),
 * business/IT-alignment,
 * architecture, components, services,
 * (dynamic) product lines,
 * model-based development,
 * model transformations,
 * model mining techniques,
 * model-based testing,
 * software modernization/migration,
 * software engineering for
   - process-centered information systems,
   - intelligent technical systems,
   - mobile systems,
   - web-based systems,
   - game development,
 * software safety and reliability,
 * tools and development environments.


DATA, INFORMATION and KNOWLEDGE ENGINEERING
  chaired by Barbara Catania (University of Genova, Italy)

 * Big Data storage, processing and analytics,
 * data and information modeling,
 * data and information semantics,
 * data integration,
 * data intensive applications,
 * data warehousing, data mining, knowledge discovery and machine learning,
 * data privacy and security,
 * databases scalability
 * information extraction,
 * information retrieval,
 * intelligent agents, multi-agent systems,
 * knowledge modeling and processing,
 * knowledge acquisition and engineering,
 * linked data and open data,
 * linked data consumption, visualisation and exploration,
 * mobile data and information,
 * multimedia, spatial, and temporal data and knowledge,
 * parallel databases
 * probabilistic databases, uncertainty and approximate querying,
 * query and natural language processing,
 * provenance and trust in data management and knowledge engineering,
 * stream data management,
 * web and semantic web data and knowledge.

Moreover, the traditional `STUDENT RESEARCH FORUM' will be open for PhD
students offering them the opportunity to publish and discuss their projects
in the field of theory and practice of Computer Science. 
The papers not accepted to the regular tracks may be selected by the Program
Committee to be presented at the SOFSEM Student Research Forum.


Important dates:

  Abstract deadline:            July 13, 2015
  Full paper deadline:          July 27, 2015
  Acceptance notification:      September 24, 2015
  Conference:                           January 23-28, 2016


The detail information about the conference is available at the traditional
web-address:

We hope that you find the tracks and topics for the next SOFSEM interesting,
and that you will join us and enjoy the traditional, inspiring SOFSEM
atmosphere.


Please do not hesitate to contact us in case you have any questions.

We are looking forward to see you in Harrachov at SOFSEM 2016,
