CiE 2015: Evolving Computability - 2nd CfP - Bucharest, 29/6-3/7/2015

2nd CALL FOR PAPERS:
COMPUTABILITY IN EUROPE 2015: Evolving Computability
Bucharest, Romania
June 29 - July 3
http://fmi.unibuc.ro/CiE2015/


IMPORTANT DATES:
Submission Deadline for LNCS: 11 January 2015
Notification of authors: 9 March 2015
Deadline for final revisions: 6 April 2015

This 2nd call for papers contains news on FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES, the list
of INVITED SPEAKERS and SPECIAL SESSIONS, as well as details on the
SUBMISSION PROCEDURE and the PROCEEDINGS.

CiE 2015 is the 11-th conference organized by CiE (Computability in
Europe), a European association of mathematicians, logicians, computer
scientists, philosophers, physicists and others interested in new
developments in computability and their underlying significance for the
real world. Previous meetings have taken place in Amsterdam (2005),
Swansea (2006), Siena (2007), Athens (2008), Heidelberg (2009), Ponta
Delgada (2010), Sofia (2011), Cambridge (2012), Milan (2013) and Budapest
(2014)

Evolution of the universe, and us within it, invite a parallel evolution
in understanding. The CiE agenda - fundamental and engaged - targets the
extracting and developing of computational models basic to current
challenges. From the origins of life, to the understanding of human
mentality, to the characterising of quantum randomness - computability
theoretic questions arise in many guises. The CiE community, this coming
year meeting for the first time in Bucharest, carries forward the search
for coherence, depth and new thinking across this rich and vital field of
research.

In all cases we are looking for fundamental and theoretical submissions.
In line with other conferences in this series, CiE 2015 has a broad scope
and provides a forum for the discussion of theoretical and practical
issues in Computability with an emphasis on new paradigms of computation
and the development of their mathematical theory.

We particularly invite papers that build bridges between different parts
of the research community.

FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES:

CiE 2015 has received funding from ASL (Association for Symbolic Logic)
and EATCS (European Association for Theoretical Computer Science) that
allows students who are members of ASL or EATCS and want to attend CiE
2015 to apply for travel funds or a reduction of the early registration
fee. Preference will be given to presenters of accepted papers.
Applications for ASL travel grants have to be addressed directly to ASL,
with a strict deadline of March 28, 2015. Applications for EATCS travel
grants have to be sent to cie2015@fmi.unibuc.ro prior to the early
registration deadline.
