MACIS 2013 - Fifth International Conference on Mathematical Aspects of Computer and Information Sciences Nanning, China, December 11-13, 2013

http://www.mpi-inf.mpg.de/conference/macis2013/

CALL FOR PAPERS

MACIS is a series of conferences where foundational research on theoretical and practical problems of mathematics for computing and information processing may be presented and discussed. MACIS also addresses experimental and case studies, scientific and engineering computation, design and implementation of algorithms and software systems, and applications of mathematical methods and tools to outstanding and emerging problems in applied computer and information sciences. Each conference focuses on two or three themes.

The topics for MACIS 2013 fall into the following tracks:

- Constraints and Combinations - Cryptography and Information Security - Data Modeling and Analysis

See the end of this call for a detailed list of topics.

SUBMISSION

Potential participants of MACIS 2013 are invited to submit extended abstracts (3-4 pages) or full papers describing their work to be presented at the conference. The submitted extended abstracts and full papers will be reviewed by members of the Program Committee (PC) for soundness and relevance to the conference. Submission of original research papers is encouraged, while published material and work in progress will also be considered for presentation at the conference. Electronic submissions are strongly preferred using EasyChair:

http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=macis2013

Accepted extended abstracts and full papers will be printed for distribution at the conference. Authors of the extended abstracts and full papers accepted for presentation at the conference will be invited to submit their full and/or revised papers for publication in special issues of Mathematics in Computer Science (MCS - http://www.cc4cm.org/mcs) by Birkhaeuser/Springer after the meeting. The submitted papers will be formally reviewed by PC members and external referees according to the refereeing procedure of MCS.
