SOFSEM (SOFtware SEMinar) is an annual international winter conference
devoted to the theory and practice of computer science. The first SOFSEM
was organized in 1974. SOFSEM consists of invited talks by prominent
researchers, of contributed talks selected from the submitted papers, and
of the Student Research Forum. The program is organized in plenary talks
and parallel tracks devoted to original research in the selected research
areas. SOFSEM has a long-standing tradition of facilitating discussions and
collegial interactions. It is well-known for its familiar and inspiring
atmosphere and as a meeting place for active and leading computer
scientists. SOFSEM is a track-based conference. It features the traditional
track on foundations of computer science and a number of other tracks that
cover contemporary important areas, such as artificial intelligence,
cryptography, security, verification, data science, knowledge engineering,
social computing and human factors, software and web engineering, etc.
