IPEC 2022 is due to take place as part of ALGO 2022 on 5-9 September in Potsdam, Germany. The Prize is named in honor of Anil Nerode in recognition of his major contributions to mathematical logic, theory of automata, computability and complexity theory. Award Committee The winning paper(s) will be selected by the EATCS-IPEC Nerode Prize Award Committee. This year's committee consists of the following people. Anuj Dawar, chair (University of Cambridge, anuj.dawar@cl.cam.ac.uk) Fedor Fomin (University of Bergen, fedor.fomin@uib.no) Thore Husfeldt (IT University of Copenhagen, thore@itu.dk) Deadline for Nominations: 15 May, 2022.
