CiE 2013 is the ninth conference organised 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), Ponte
Dalgada (2010), Sofia (2011) and Cambridge (2012).

We particularly welcome submissions in emergent areas, such as
bioinformatics and natural computation, where they have a basic
connection with computability.

SUBMISSIONS

Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their work at the
conference. Each presentation will be 25 minutes long, including the
time for the eventual discussion. Submitted papers must describe work
not previously published, and they must neither be accepted nor under
review at a journal or at another conference with refereed proceedings.
Authors are required to submit their manuscripts electronically in PDF
using the LNCS style. Authors using LaTeX can download the needed macros
at Springer-Verlag site. Papers should not exceed 10 pages; full proofs
may appear in a clearly marked technical appendix which will be read at
the reviewers' discretion.
The submission process is managed by EasyChair and is available at
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cie2013.

The proceedings will be available at the conference venue.
The CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS will be published by LNCS, Springer Verlag.

AWARDS & GRANTS

Springer-Verlag has graciously funded two awards that will be given
during the CiE 2013 Conference.

Best student paper

This prize will be awarded for the best student paper presented at CiE
2013, as judged by the Program Committee. A prize of 500 Euros will be
given to the author(s) of the best student-authored paper (or split
between more than one paper if there is a tie). In order to be
considered, a paper has to be submitted in the category 'Regular paper
(eligible for best student paper award)' on 
EasyChair. Papers are eligible if all of its 
authors are full-time students at the
time of submission.


Best paper on Natural Computing

The prize consists of the four volumes of the Handbook of Natural
Computing (see http://cie2013.disco.unimib.it/awards/). This prize will
be awarded to the best paper on Natural Computing presented at CiE 2013,
as judged by the Program Committee. A paper is eligible if its main
topic falls within the scope of Natural Computing, roughly defined as
the set of fields studied in the above handbook. The Program Committee
is the only judge of the relevance of a paper within the Natural
Computing scope. The authors of a paper eligible for the award must
indicate this in the submission notes.

Grants

The ASL, EATCS and Elsevier have decided to sponsor students. In
particular Elsevier under the Women in Computability program offers
funds for junior female researchers to attend CiE 2013. The applications
for ASL and Elsevier funds must be sent before April 1, 2013.
Preference will be given to researchers who present a paper (contributed
paper or informal talk), see http://cie2013.disco.unimib.it/awards/ for
details.
