Dear Sofsemists,
dear Colleagues and Friends,
It is our great pleasure to invite you to submit a paper to one of the four
SOFSEM 2012 tracks:
* FOUNDATIONS of COMPUTER SCIENCE
* SOFTWARE and WEB ENGINEERING
* CRYPTOGRAPHY, SECURITY and VERIFICATION
* ARTICIAL INTELLIGENCE;
with extended support for student papers in the traditional
* STUDENT RESEARCH FORUM.
We would especially like to attract your attention to the
SPECIAL EVENT: SESSION on TURING MACHINES.
In memory of Alan Turing, whose 100th anniversary is celebrated in 2012,
SOSFEM 2012 will host a session on Turing machines.
The session will consist of invited and contributed talks on Turing
machines
as the basic model of computability and complexity, and reporting new
developments related to models inspired by, for example, biology and
physics.
SOFSEM 2012 is among the official Centenary Events of The Alan Turing
year (for more details see http://www.turingcentenary.eu/)
We hope that you find the SOFSEM 2012 tracks and topics interesting. For
details see
