[DMANET] CiE 2012: Turing Centenary Conference, Cambridge - Final Call for Presentations

**********************************************************************
FINAL CALL FOR INFORMAL PRESENTATIONS - DEADLINE MAY 11th, 2012:

TURING CENTENARY CONFERENCE
http://www.cie2012.eu

Computability in Europe 2012: How the World Computes
University of Cambridge
Cambridge, 18-23 June 2012

CiE 2012 is one of three major international Turing Centenary Celebrations.
CiE 2012 offers researchers an opportunity to actively participate in
this remarkable year of activities.

SUBMISSION OF ABSTRACTS OF INFORMAL PRESENTATIONS are invited with a
deadline of MAY 11th 2012.

For submission details, see:
http://www.mathcomp.leeds.ac.uk/turing2012/WScie12/give-page.php?12

Authors will be notified of acceptance, usually within two weeks of
submission.

All accepted papers become eligible for consideration for post-conference
journals: COMPUTABILITY will consider journal versions of papers presented
at CiE conferences as a general rule; and there will be special issues of
Logical Methods in Computer Science (LMCS), Annals of Pure and Applied
Logic (APAL) and the Journal of Computational Biology.

* Lambda and combinatory calculi
* L-systems and membrane computation
* Machine learning
* Mathematical models of emergence

We particularly welcome submissions in emergent areas, such as
bioinformatics and natural computation, where they have a basic connection
with computability.

CiE 2012 will have a special relationship to the scientific legacy of Alan
Turing, reflected in the broad theme: How the World Computes, with all its
different layers of meaning. Contributions which are directly related to
the visionary and seminal work of Turing will be particularly welcome.

The PROGRAMME COMMITTEE cordially invites all researchers (European and
non-European) in computability related areas to submit abstracts of their
proposed presentations (in PDF-format, max 1 page) for CiE 2012. We
particularly invite papers that build bridges between different parts of
the research community.

The conference is sponsored by the ASL, EACSL, EATCS, Elsevier, the IET,
IFCoLog, King's College Cambridge, Science Magazine, The University of
Cambridge, the Isaac Newton Institute, IOS Press, and Microsoft Research.
