[DMANET] MFCS 2022 - First Call for Papers

MFCS 2022 - FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS

The 47th International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science, August 22-26, 2022, Vienna, Austria

https://www.ac.tuwien.ac.at/mfcs2022/

The MFCS conference series on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science is a high-quality venue for original research in all branches of Theoretical Computer Science. MFCS is among the conferences with the longest history in the field - the first conference in the series was held already in 1972. Traditionally, the conference moved between the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Poland, while since 2013, the conference has traveled around Europe.

In 2022, at its 50th anniversary, MFCS will be held in Vienna, Austria.

MFCS 2022 will be co-located with MATCH-UP 2022 (https://www.ac.tuwien.ac.at/matchup2022/), the 6th Workshop on Matching Under Preferences.

Barring substantial and unforeseen developments, MFCS will be organized as a physical event. At least one author of each accepted paper must register at the conference. Authors who cannot physically attend the conference will be given the option to present their results via a live video talk.

INVITED SPEAKERS

Fedor V. Fomin (University of Bergen)
Monika Henzinger (University of Vienna)
Thomas Henzinger (IST Austria)
Marta Kwiatkowska (University of Oxford)
Vijay Vazirani (University of California, Irvine)

IMPORTANT DATES

Abstract Deadline: Friday, April 22, 2022 (Anywhere on Earth)
Submission Deadline: Wednesday, April 27, 2022 (Anywhere on Earth)
Notification: Tuesday, June 21, 2022
Conference: August 22-26, 2022

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Papers should be submitted electronically through EasyChair at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mfcs2022

Submissions should be formatted using the LIPIcs style with a length not exceeding 12 pages (excluding references and an optional appendix). References and an optional appendix can go beyond the 12 pages; the appendix will be consulted at the discretion of the program committee. It is mandatory to use the LIPIcs style for submissions.

No prior publication or simultaneous submission to other conferences or journals are allowed (except preprint repositories such as arXiv or workshops without formal published proceedings).

PUBLICATION

As in previous years, MFCS 2022 proceedings will be published in LIPIcs (Leibniz International Proceedings in Informatics) under an open-access license.

- algebraic and co-algebraic methods in computer science
- algorithms and data structures
- automata and formal languages
- bioinformatics
- combinatorics on words, trees, and other structures
- computational complexity (structural and model-related)
- computational geometry
- computer-aided verification
- computer assisted reasoning
