Topics in Theoretical Computer Science (TTCS 2020)

http://cs.ipm.ac.ir/ttcs/2020

Institute for Research in Fundamental Sciences (IPM)

Tehran, Iran, July 1-3, 2020

*** Submission Deadline: January 12, 2020 ***

==================================================

------------------------------ Scope ------------------------------

TTCS is a bi-annual conference series, intending to serve as a forum for novel and high-quality research in all areas of Theoretical Computer Science. The conference is held in cooperation with the European Association for Theoretical Computer Science (EATCS). The proceedings will be published in the Springer LNCS series.

TTCS is organized in 2 tracks. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

Track A: Algorithms and Complexity

- algorithms and data structures, - algorithmic coding theory, - algorithmic graph theory and combinatorics, - approximation algorithms, - computational complexity, - computational geometry, - computational learning theory, - economics and algorithmic game theory, - fixed-parameter algorithms, - machine learning, - optimization, - parallel and distributed algorithms, - quantum computing, - randomness in computing, - theoretical cryptography.

Track B: Logic, Semantics, and Programming Theory

- algebra and coalgebra in computer science, - concurrency theory, - coordination languages, - formal verification and model-based testing, - logic in computer science, - methods, models of computation and reasoning for embedded, hybrid, and cyber-physical systems, - stochastic and probabilistic specification and reasoning, - theoretical aspects of other CS-related research areas, e.g. computational science, databases, information retrieval, and networking, - theory of programming languages, - type theory.

------------------------------ Important Dates ------------------------------

- Full Paper Submission: January 12, 2020 - Author notification: March 12, 2020 - Camera-ready paper: April 1, 2020 - Conference: July 1-3, 2020

------------------------------ Submissions ------------------------------

Research papers are solicited in all areas of theoretical computer science. All papers will undergo a rigorous review process and will be judged based on their originality, soundness, significance of the results, and relevance to the theme of the conference.

Papers should be written in English. Research papers should not exceed 15 pages in the LNCS style format. All technical details necessary for a proper evaluation of a submission must be included in the submission or in a clearly-labeled appendix, to be consulted at the discretion of program committee members. Multiple and/or concurrent submission to other scientific venues is not allowed and will result in rejection as well as notification to the other venue. Any case of plagiarism (including self-plagiarism from earlier publications) will result in rejection as well as notification to the authors' institutions.

TTCS 2020 proceedings will be published by Springer, in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series, in accordance to the contract between Springer Nature Switzerland AG and the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP).

Papers should be submitted to the appropriate track through EasyChair at
