Czech Republic
http://www.sofsem.cz/
Dear Sofsemists,
dear Colleagues and Friends,
It is our great pleasure to invite you to submit a POSTER for any topic
of the four SOFSEM 2012 tracks:
* FOUNDATIONS of COMPUTER SCIENCE,
* SOFTWARE and WEB ENGINEERING,
* CRYPTOGRAPHY, SECURITY and VERIFICATION,
* ARTICIAL INTELLIGENCE.
All accepted posters (after registration and payment) will be included
and published in SOFSEM 2012 local proceedings.
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.
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 - for details see
