[DMANET] MATCOS 2022: 2nd CFP

Dear colleagues,

please, find attached second CFP for this yoear MATCOS. It now also
includes a possibility to submit a short paper. We also invite you to
distribute the CFP to your students and colleagues.

We belive that MATCOS 2022 can and will be an inspiring event.

Thanx in advance and LPA

                           Call for Papers

  Middle-European Conference on Applied Theoretical Computer Science
                             (MATCOS-22)

            Koper, Slovenia, October 13th and 14th, 2022.
http://matcos.iam.upr.si


Held in conjunction with the 25th Multi-Conference on Information
Society, October 10th - 14th, 2022, 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,
computational social science 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 multi-conference proceeding.  The submissions of
short papers must include an abstract at least. Instructions for
preparing the papers can be downloaded from Conference Website.

Revised and extended versions of selected papers will appear in a
special issue of the journal Informatica (http://www.informatica.si/).

Only electronic submissions will be accepted (in pdf format), via
EasyChair (in a submission indicate whether you are submitting a
regular or short paper):

Digitalne kompetence nas naučijo držati pero, pri računalništvu in informatiki pa se učimo pisati zgodbe.
Digital competences teach us to hold a pen, while Computer Science teaches us to write stories.
