FSTTCS 2021 is the 41'st conference on Foundations of Software
Technology and Theoretical Computer Science. It is organised by IARCS,
the Indian Association for Research in Computing Science, in association
with ACM India. It is a forum for presenting original results in
foundational
aspects of Computer Science and Software Technology.


Due to the Covid situation in India and the rest of the world, and to
rule out uncertainty for authors and the local organizers, FSTTCS 2021
will be held virtually.
