Middle-European Conference on Applied Theoretical Computer Science
(MATCOS-25)
Koper, Slovenia, October 9th and 10th, 2025.
http://matcos.iam.upr.si
Held in conjunction with the 28th Multi-Conference on Information
Society, October 6th - 10th, 2025, 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 of AI approaches and also on
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.
