MEMICS 2010, 1st CFP

6th Doctoral Workshop on Mathematical and Engineering
Methods in Computer Science

MEMICS 2010

http://www.memics.cz
October 22--24, 2010, Hotel Galant, Mikulov, Czech Republic

Call for Papers

The MEMICS 2010 workshop is organized jointly by the Faculty of
Informatics, Masaryk University, and the Faculty of Information Technology,
Brno University of Technology.

The aim: To provide a forum for doctoral students interested in applications
of mathematical and engineering methods in computer science with an emphasis
on methods for developing reliable and secure computer systems.

Topics: Submissions are invited especially in the following (though not
exclusive) areas:
software and hardware dependability, computer security, parallel and
distributed computing, formal analysis and verification, simulation, testing
and diagnostics, GRID computing, computer networks, modern hardware and its
design, non-traditional computing architectures, quantum computing, and all
related areas of theoretical computer science.

Invited talks: Several invited talks by distinguished researchers from
various areas of interest of the workshop will be a part of the programme.

Involvement: Students are invited to submit a regular paper or a presentation.
A regular paper is a previously unpublished original work, not exceeding
8 pages in the LNCS style. A presentation reflects recent outstanding work
that has been published (or is accepted) at a leading computer science
conference or in a recognized scientific journal, and shall be submitted
in the form of a one-page abstract which will also appear in the proceedings.
Detailed instructions for authors are available at the web page
http://www.memics.cz/. The proceedings will be available at the workshop in
printed form.

Dates: The deadline for the submissions is September 8, 2010, but all
regular papers also have to be registered by September 1.
The authors will be notified about review results by September 22,
and the final camera-ready versions of all accepted submissions are
expected by September 30.

Venue: The workshop will be held in Mikulov, a lovely town near the
Austrian boarders at the edge of the Palava Landscape Protected Area.
Mikulov, situated in the centre of vineyard area, is also famous for
numerous examples of architecture. Tourists attractions include the Mikulov
Castle, the Piarist College, the Dietrichstein Sepulchre, and the former
Jewish ghetto.
