(Amsterdam), Heribert Vollmer (Hannover).

The CiE conferences serve as an interdisciplinary forum for research
in all aspects
of computability, foundations of computer science, logic, and
theoretical computer science, as well as the interplay of these areas
with practical issues in computer science and with other disciplines
such as biology, mathematics, philosophy, or physics.

THE PROGRAMME COMMITTEE cordially invites all researchers (European
and non-European) to submit their papers in all areas related to the
above for presentation at the conference and inclusion in the
proceedings at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cie2018 .

Papers must be submitted in PDF format, using the LNCS style
(available at ftp://ftp.springer.de/pub/tex/latex/llncs/latex2e/llncs2e.zip)
and should have a maximum of 10 pages, including references but
excluding a possible appendix in which one can include proofs and
other additional material. Papers building bridges between different
parts of the research community are particularly welcome.

The CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS will be published by LNCS, Springer Verlag.

INFORMAL PRESENTATIONS:
=======================

Continuing the tradition of past CiE conferences, in addition to the
formal presentations based on the LNCS proceedings volume, CiE 2018
will host a track of informal presentations, that are prepared very
shortly before the conference and inform the participants about
current research and work in progress. The deadline for the submission
of abstracts for informal presentations is May 1st, 2018.

WOMEN IN COMPUTABILITY:
=======================

We are very happy to announce that within the framework of the Women
in Computability programme, sponsored by ACM-Women, we are able to
offer four grants of up to 250 EUR for junior female researchers who
want to participate in CiE 2018. Applications for this grant should be
sent to Liesbeth De Mol, liesbeth.demol@univ-lille3.fr, before 15 May
2018 and include a short cv (at most 2 pages) and contact information
for an academic reference. Preference will be given to junior female
researchers who are presenting a paper (including informal
presentations) at CiE 2018.
