The 45th International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer
Science
August 24-28, 2020, Prague, Czech Republic
CORONAVIRUS STATEMENT
The coronavirus pandemics is causing a major disruption in lives of many
members of our community. To accommodate those members we decided to postpone
the submission deadline from April 20 to May 4 and the notification from June
15 to June 29. With the notification we will ask all authors how likely they
are to come for a physical meeting to Prague as originally planned. Based on
this feedback the conference will be either held physically (with an option of
remote participation and a reduced conference fee for those who cannot attend)
or completely virtually. Either way the publication of the conference
proceedings will go forward as usual.
CALL FOR PAPERS
The MFCS conference series has been organized since 1972. Traditionally,
the conference moved between the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Poland,
while since 2013, the conference travels around Europe. In 2020, it will
come back to Prague, Czech Republic. MFCS is a high quality venue for
original research in all branches of theoretical computer science.
INVITED SPEAKERS
Nathalie Bertrand (INRIA, Rennes)
Sergio Cabello (Ljubljana)
Subhash Khot (NYU)
Parthasarathy Madhusudan (UIUC)
Mary Wootters (Stanford)
IMPORTANT DATES
Submission Deadline: Monday, May 4, 2020 (AoE)
Notification: Monday, June 29, 2020
Conference: Monday August 24 to Friday August 28, 2020
Workshops: Friday August 30 to Saturday August 31, 2020
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Papers should be submitted electronically through EasyChair at
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mfcs2020
Submissions should be be formatted using the LIPIcs style with 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
MFCS 2020 proceedings will be published in LIPIcs (Leibniz International
Proceedings in Informatics) under an open source license (as in previous
years).
LIST OF TOPICS
We encourage submission of original research papers in all areas of
theoretical computer science, including (but not limited to) the following:
- 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 - concurrency
theory - cryptography and security - databases and knowledge-based systems
- formal specifications and program development - foundations of computing
- logics in computer science - mobile computing - models of computation -
networks - parallel and distributed computing - quantum computing -
semantics and verification of programs - theoretical issues in artificial
intelligence and machine learning - types in computer science
