COMPUTABILITY IN EUROPE 2010: Programs, Proofs, Processes
Ponta Delgada (Azores), Portugal
June 30 to July 4, 2010
http://www.cie2010.uac.pt/
Deadline for submissions: 20 JANUARY 2010
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Computability in Europe provides the largest international conference
dealing with the full spectrum of computability-related research.
CiE 2010 in the Azores is the sixth conference of the Series, held in a
geographically unique and dramatic location, Europe's most Westerly
outpost. The theme of CiE 2010 - "Programs, Proofs, Processes" - points
to the usual CiE synergy of Computer Science, Mathematics and Logic, with
important computability-theoretic connections to science and the real
universe.
TUTORIALS: Jeffrey Bub (Information, Computation and Physics),
Bruno Codenotti (Computational Game Theory).
INVITED SPEAKERS: Eric Allender, Jose L. Balcazar, Shafi Goldwasser,
Denis Hirschfeldt, Seth Lloyd, Sara Negri, Toniann Pitassi, and
Ronald de Wolf.

SPECIAL TRIBUTE TO MARIAN POUR-EL: Ning Zhong.
CiE serves as an interdisciplinary forum for research in all aspects of
computability and foundations of computer science, as well as the
interplay of these theoretical areas with practical issues in computer
science and with other disciplines such as biology, mathematics,
philosophy, or physics.
Formal systems, attendant proofs, and the possibility of their
computer generation and manipulation (for instance, into programs)
have been changing a whole spectrum of disciplines. The conference will
address not only the more established lines of research of
Computational Complexity and the interplay between Proofs and
Computation, but also novel views that rely on physical and biological
processes and models to find new ways of tackling computations and
improving their efficiency.
We particularly invite papers that build bridges between different parts
of the research community. Since women are underrepresented in
mathematics and computer science, we emphatically encourage submissions
by female authors. The Elsevier Foundation is supporting the CiE
conference series in the programme "Increasing representation of female
researchers in the computability community". This programme will allow
us to fund child-care support, a mentoring system for young female
researchers, and also a small number of grants for junior female
researchers (see below).
The dates around the submission process are as follows:

The Programme Committee cordially invites all researchers in the area
of the conference to submit their papers (in PDF-format, at most
10 pages) for presentation at CiE 2010.
The best of the accepted papers will be published in the conference
proceedings within the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS)
series of Springer, which will be available at the conference.
Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their work at the
conference. Submitted papers must describe work not previously
published, and they must neither be accepted nor under review at a
journal or at another conference with refereed proceedings.
All papers need to be prepared in LNCS-style LaTeX. Papers must not
exceed 10 pages. Full proofs may appear in a technical appendix which
will be read at the reviewers' discretion. Submissions authored or
co-authored by members of the Programme Committee are not allowed.
Papers that have only student authors are eligible for the
"CiE 2010 Best Student Paper Award." If your submission satisfies
the requirements, please submit your paper in the category
"Regular paper (eligible for Best Student Paper Award)."
The Programme Committee will select the best submission among these
after acceptance. The recipient of the Best Student Paper Award will
get a fee waiver of the registration fee, a certificate, and a small
symbolic cash prize.
Funded by the Elsevier Foundation's programme 'Women in Computability'
we shall offer five travel grants (covering registration fee and up
to 300 EUR in reimbursement for travel and accomodation expenses)
for junior female researchers. More information will become available
in March 2010.
Funded by the Elsevier journal Annals of Pure and Applied Logic
(APAL), the organizers are offering a number of travel grants
(including fee waivers and a modest reimbursement of travel and
accommodation expenses) for students to attend CiE 2010. Student
authors of accepted papers will have priority for these grants.
The Association for Symbolic Logic (ASL) sponsors modest student
member travel grants. See
http://www.aslonline.org/studenttravelawards.html
New funding opportunities are expected to be offered. For more
details concerning funding and up to date information, please consult
regularly the web page of the conference http://www.cie2010.uac.pt/
