(Apologies for multiple postings.) ================================ CALL FOR INFORMAL PRESENTATIONS ========================= ======= CiE 2021: Connecting with computability 5 - 9 July 2021 website: www.CiE2021.ugent.be [1] **Due to the current pandemic CiE 2021 will be held as a virtual conference.** CiE 2021 is the seventeenth conference organized by the Association Computability in Europe. The /Computability in Europe/ conference (CiE) series has built up a strong tradition for developing a scientific program which is interdisciplinary at its core bringing together all aspects of computability and foundations of computer science, as well as the interplay of these theoretical areas with practical issues in CS and other disciplines such as biology, mathematics, history, philosophy, and physics. For more information about the CiE conferences and the Association CiE, please have a look at: https://www.acie.eu/ [2]. CiE 2021 will be the second CiE conference that is organized as a virtual event and aims at a high-quality meeting that allows and invites active participation from all participants. It will be hosted virtually by Ghent University. 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), Budapest (2014), Bucharest (2015), Paris (2016), Turku (2017), Kiel (2018), Durham (2019) and virtually in Salerno (2020) INFORMAL PRESENTATIONS: ========================= Continuing the tradition of past CiE conferences, in addition to the formal presentations based on the LNCS proceedings volume, CiE 2021 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 Programme Committee cordially invites all researchers (European and non-European) to submit their abstract for informal presentations. The abstract will be posted on the CiE 2021 website. The deadline for the submission of abstracts for informal presentations is May 15, 2021. Informal presentations should be at most one page long and sent in .pdf format. Authors should submit their abstracts electronically using EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cie2021 [3] Notification can be expected a few days after the submission deadline REGISTRATION: ============= Registration for CiE 2021 will be free.
