29th International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science STACS 2012 - CALL FOR PAPERS Feb 29th to March 3rd, 2012, Paris, France http://stacs2012.lip6.fr/ *Scope* Authors are invited to submit papers presenting original and unpublished research on theoretical aspects of computer science. Typical areas include (but are not limited to): - Algorithms and data structures, including: parallel and distributed algorithms, computational geometry, cryptography, algorithmic learning theory; - Automata and formal languages; - Computational and structural complexity; - Logic in computer science, including: semantics, specification, and verification of programs, rewriting and deduction; - Current challenges, for example: biological computing, quantum computing, mobile and net computing. *Program committee* - Vikraman Arvind, Chennai - Manuel Bodirsky, Ecole Polytechnique - Hans Bodlaender, Utrecht - Felix Brandt, Munich - V�ronique Bruy�re, Mons - Didier Caucal, Marne-la-Vall�e - St�phane Demri, Cachan - Christoph D�rr, Paris (co-chair) - Robert Els�sser, Paderborn - Anupam Gupta, Pittsburgh - Lane A. Hemaspaandra, Rochester - Stephan Kreutzer, Berlin - Orna Kupferman, Jerusalem - Dietrich Kuske, Ilmenau - Seffi Naor, Technion - Monaldo Mastrolilli, Manno-Lugano - Michel de Rougemont, Paris - Michiel Smid, Ottawa - Iain Stewart, Durham - Heribert Vollmer, Hannover - Igor Walukiewicz, Bordeaux - Thomas Wilke, Kiel (co-chair) *Invited Speakers* - Martin Dietzfelbinger, Ilmenau - Thomas Colcombet, Paris - Shafi Goldwasser, MIT *Submissions* Authors are invited to submit a draft of a full paper with at most 12 pages (STACS style or similar, e.g., LaTeX article style with options 11pt and a4paper). The title page must contain a classification of the topic covered, preferably using the list of topics above. The paper should contain a succinct statement of the issues and of their motivation, a summary of the main results, and a brief explanation of their significance, accessible to non-specialist readers. Proofs omitted due to space constraints must be put into an appendix to be read by the program committee members at their discretion. Submissions deviating from these guidelines risk rejection. Electronic submissions should be formatted in PDF. Simultaneous submission to other conferences with published proceedings is not allowed. *Proceedings* Accepted papers will be published in the proceedings of the Symposium. As usual, these proceedings will appear in the Leibniz International Proceedings in Informatics (LIPIcs) series, based at Schloss Dagstuhl. This guarantees perennial, free and easy electronic access, while the authors will retain the rights over their work. In addition, the proceedings will also be available as archives in the open access electronic repository HAL. With their submission, authors consent to sign a license authorizing the program committee chairs to organize the electronic publication of their paper if it is accepted. Further details are available on www.stacs-conf.organd on the conference website <http://stacs2012.lip6.fr/>. Instructions for the preparation of final manuscripts can be found at the LIPIcs website<http://www.dagstuhl.de/en/publications/lipics/instructions-for-authors/> . Participants of the conference will receive a USB-stick with an electronic version of the proceedings. It is also planned to publish in a journal a selection of papers. *Important dates*Submission deadline: S <http://timeanddate.com/s/20c1>eptember 23rd, 2011 <http://timeanddate.com/s/20c1> Notification to authors: November 28th, 2011 Final version: January 2nd, 2012 Symposium: Feb 29th to March 3rd, 2012 ---- [[ Petri Nets World: ]] [[ http://www.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/TGI/PetriNets/ ]] [[ Mailing list FAQ: ]] [[ http://www.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/TGI/PetriNets/pnml/faq.html ]] [[ Post messages/summary of replies: ]] [[ [email protected] ]]
