FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS (incl. deadline extension due to popular demand)

3rd CALL FOR PAPERS: COMPUTABILITY IN EUROPE 2015: Evolving Computability Bucharest, Romania June 29 - July 3 http://fmi.unibuc.ro/CiE2015/

IMPORTANT DATES:

EXTENDED Submission Deadline for LNCS: 21 January 2015 Notification of authors: 9 March 2015 Deadline for final revisions: 6 April 2015

CiE 2015 is the 11-th conference organized by CiE (Computability in Europe), a European association of mathematicians, logicians, computer scientists, philosophers, physicists and others interested in new developments in computability and their underlying significance for the real world. Previous meetings have taken place in Amsterdam (2005), Swansea (2006), Siena (2007), Athens (2008), Heidelberg (2009), Ponta Delgada (2010), Sofia (2011), Cambridge (2012), Milan (2013) and Budapest (2014)

Evolution of the universe, and us within it, invite a parallel evolution in understanding. The CiE agenda - fundamental and engaged - targets the extracting and developing of computational models basic to current challenges. From the origins of life, to the understanding of human mentality, to the characterising of quantum randomness - computability theoretic questions arise in many guises. The CiE community, this coming year meeting for the first time in Bucharest, carries forward the search for coherence, depth and new thinking across this rich and vital field of research.

In all cases we are looking for fundamental and theoretical submissions. In line with other conferences in this series, CiE 2015 has a broad scope and provides a forum for the discussion of theoretical and practical issues in Computability with an emphasis on new paradigms of computation and the development of their mathematical theory.

We particularly invite papers that build bridges between different parts of the research community.

AWARDS:

The best student paper award is presented to the author(s) of the best paper, as selected by the PC, written solely by student author(s). This award is sponsored by Springer.

FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES:

CiE 2015 has received funding from ASL (Association for Symbolic Logic) and EATCS (European Association for Theoretical Computer Science) that allows students who are members of ASL or EATCS and want to attend CiE 2015 to apply for travel funds or a reduction of the early registration fee.

Preference will be given to presenters of accepted papers.

Applications for ASL travel grants have to be addressed directly to ASL, with a strict deadline of March 28, 2015.

Applications for EATCS travel grants have to be sent to cie2015@fmi.unibuc.roprior to the early registration deadline.
