THE MFCS CONFERENCE SERIES
**********************************************************************
MFCS is a well-established venue for presenting high-quality research
from various branches of theoretical computer science. The conference
provides a platform for researchers interested in different aspects of
theoretical computer science to interact, exchange ideas, and present
their work.
EATCS sponsors a best paper award and a best student paper award.
**********************************************************************
INVITED SPEAKERS

PROCEEDINGS
**********************************************************************
The MFCS 2016 conference proceedings will be published in Leibniz
International Proceedings in Informatics (LIPIcs), a series of
high-quality conference proceedings across all fields in informatics
established in cooperation with Schloss Dagstuhl – Leibniz Center for
Informatics. (Note that MFCS has moved to LIPIcs from Springer's
LNCS series.) The proceeding will be published under the Creative
Commons CC-BY license (CC-BY 3.0 DE). This means that the authors
