Last CALL for PARTICIPATION
SOFSEM 2012
38th International Conference on Current Trends
in Theory and Practice of Computer Science
January 21-27, 2012
Orea Hotel HORAL (Spindleruv Mlyn)
Czech Republic
http://www.sofsem.cz/
Dear Sofsemists,
dear Colleagues and Friends,
It is our great pleasure to invite you to participate
at the upcomming SOFSEM 2012 conference
with the following four tracks:
* FOUNDATIONS of COMPUTER SCIENCE,
* SOFTWARE and WEB ENGINEERING,
* CRYPTOGRAPHY, SECURITY and VERIFICATION,
* ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.
We would especially like to attract your attention to the
SPECIAL SOFSEM 2012 EVENT: SESSION on TURING MACHINES.
In memory of Alan Turing, whose 100th anniversary is celebrated in 2012,
SOFSEM 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 will find the SOFSEM 2012 Program
http://www.sofsem.cz/sofsem12/index.php?page=timetable

Student Research Forum
The Student Research Forum (SRF) is organized as an integral part of the
SOFSEM 2012 with the aim to publish and discuss student projects in the
areas of the 4 SOFSEM 2012 tracks.
The SRF will offer students the opportunity to receive valuable feedback
on the originality and quality of their scientific work results as the
authors of the papers selected for SRF will present their ideas in front
of the main SOFSEM 2012 audience and also during the poster session
organized as a integral part of the conference.
Best Student Paper and Best Student Presentation will be awarded during the
conference.
