                         Call for Papers

  Middle-European Conference on Applied Theoretical Computer Science
                             (MATCOS-19)

                      *** EXTENDED DEADLINE ***

            Koper, Slovenia, October 10th and 11th, 2019.
                       http://matcos.iam.upr.si

                       Held in conjunction with
          the 22nd Multi-Conference on Information Society,
   October 7th-11th, 2019, Ljubljana, Slovenia. (http://is.ijs.si)

Scope and Topics
----------------

During  the  past years,  other  fields  have used several  subjects,
methods and  approaches of  Theoretical Computer Science,  and several
results have  been integrated  into practical applications. Solutions
for NP-hard  problems, algorithmic-oriented  AI and data science, new
models  and methods  in  system biology  and bioinformatics,  automata
theory  approaches in  software and  hardware verification,  practical
quantum computing  solutions and the development  of other prospective
new  models of  computation are  good examples  to buttress  the above
statement.

We set double aims  as the scope of this conference:  on one hand side
we expect ideas  and solutions from the field  of Theoretical Computer
Science   which   have   been   directly   applied   in real   world
applications. On the other side we want to collect theoretical results
based on some fruitful idea that  may be useful to adopt for practical
problems.

Suggested, but not exclusive, topics of interest include:
- Automata and formal languages, computability,
- Algorithms and data structures,
- Computational complexity,
- Artificial intelligence, machine learning,
- Optimization, approximation methods, NP-hard problems,
- Graph theory,
- Computational geometry.

There is a special emphasis on use in applications such as simulation,
bioinformatics,  digital signal  and image  processing, data  science,
digital forensics, logistics, smart homes/cities and IoT etc.

Paper submission
----------------

Papers  presenting original  research in  conference topics  are being
sought.  Papers (regular  and short)  must be  in English  and provide
sufficient  details to  allow the  program committee  to assess  their
merits.  The submissions  of regular  papers, as  well as  their final
versions, are  limited to 4  pages sharp and  will be published  in an
Information  Society multiconference  proceeding.  The submissions  of
short papers must  include an abstract at least.  Revised and extended
versions of  selected papers  will appear  in a  special issue  of the
journal  Informatica  (http://www.informatica.si/). Instructions  for
preparing the papers can be downloaded from Conference Website.

Only  electronic submissions  will be  accepted (in  pdf format),  via
