SOFSEM 2013

39th International Conference on Current Trends
in Theory and Practice of Computer Science
January 26-31, 2013
VZ Bedrichov (Spindleruv Mlyn)
Czech Republic


Dear Sofsemists, dear Colleagues and Friends,

It is our great pleasure to invite you to submit a paper

(an abstract till JUNE 22, 2012)

for SOFSEM 2013 conference. Accepted regular papers will be included
in the main conference proceedings published by Springer Verlag in

the Lecture Notes in Computer Science - LNCS - Series.


SOFSEM 2013 consists of following four tracks:

computational geometry,
computational learning theory,
discrete mathematics related to computer science,
quantum computing,
logics and semantics of programs,
theory of databases, semi-structured data, and finite model theory,
theory of programming languages.


* SOFTWARE and WEB ENGINEERING
(chaired by Jerzy Nawrocki)

Moreover, for PhD students there will be the traditional `STUDENT
RESEARCH FORUM'. Student papers (with a checked Student Contribution at
the Submission System) not accepted for a regular track but of sufficient
high quality can be selected for in the Student Research Forum (to be
published in a local proceedings). Their authors will have a nice
opportunity to present their ideas in front of the main SOFSEM audience.
