== About the Proceedings ==

The 31st International Conference on Foundations of Software Technology and
Theoretical Computer Science (FSTTCS 2011) was held at Indian Institute of
Technology, Bombay, from December 12 to December 14, 2011. This proceedings
volume contains contributed papers and (extended) abstracts of invited talks
presented at the conference.
There were a total of 116 submissions, with contributing authors from 32
countries, spanning 6 continents. Most of these were high-quality papers, and
the competition for making it to the final list of accepted papers was very
stiff. We wish to thank all authors of submitted papers for helping make FSTTCS
such a competitive conference.
The committee also sought help from 243 external reviewers, and was able to
obtain a total of 447 reviews for the contributed papers. All papers within the
scope of the conference had at least 3 expert reviews, and all but a few papers
were evaluated by 4 independent reviewers. Multiple rounds of elimination and
intense discussions and debates followed to help us narrow down the set of
papers to be accepted. A total of 37 papers were finally selected for
presentation at the conference.
