[FOM] Extended deadline: 6th IFIP International Conference on Theoretical Computer Science

[James Harland]

[Please forgive the administrative nature of this post. Despite this
being yet another conference announcement, I hope it is one of interest
to a broad variety of FOM readers].

Please note that the paper submission deadline for the 6th IFIP
International Conference on Theoretical Computer Science has been
extended. Abstracts are now due by February 12th and papers by February
19th. An amended call for papers is below, and can be found at

evolutionary and genetic computing
experimental algorithms
mobile computing
molecular computing and algorithmic aspects of bioinformatics
network computing
neural computing
parallel and distributed algorithms
probabilistic and randomized algorithms
quantum computing
structural information and communication complexity

Track B - Logic, Semantics, Specification and Verification:
automata theory
automated deduction
constructive and non-standard logics in computer science
concurrency theory and foundations of distributed and mobile computing
database theory
finite model theory
formal aspects of program analysis, foundations of hybrid and real-time
systems
lambda and combinatory calculi
logical aspects of computational complexity
modal and temporal logics
model checking and verification
probabilistic systems

Important dates:
Title and abstract due: February 12, 2010
Paper due: February 19, 2010
Notification of acceptance: April 30, 2010
Copyright release due: May 7, 2010
Camera-ready copies: May 15, 2010

Instructions for paper submission

- Authors are required to submit a title and a short abstract of about
100 words before submitting the paper. All submissions will be
electronic.

- Papers presenting original research are sought. The results must be
unpublished and not submitted for publication elsewhere, including the
proceedings of other symposia or workshops. The PC chair should be
informed of closely related work submitted to a conference or journal in
advance of submission.

- Accepted papers will be presented at the conference and published in
the IFIP AICT (Advances in Information and ●Papers presenting original
research are sought. The results must be unpublished and not submitted
for publication elsewhere, including the proceedings of other symposia
or workshops.
 
- The PC chair should be informed of closely related work submitted to
a conference or journal in advance of submission.

- Papers must be written in English; they should be at most 15 pages in
total, including bibliography and well-marked appendices. Papers should
be intelligible without appendices, if any.

- Submitted and accepted papers must follow the publisher’s
guidelines for the IFIP AICT Series (www.springer.com/series/6102,
Author templates, Manuscript preparation in LaTeX only).

- At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the
congress and present the paper. Inclusion of the paper will be dependent
upon one registration for the paper. One author of each accepted paper
will be expected to present it at the Conference.

- Only electronic submissions will be accepted, via
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tcs2010 (for Track A and
Track B)

- The submission deadlines, length limitations and formatting
instructions are firm: any submission deviating from these may be
rejected without further consideration.
