% PRELIMINARY CALL FOR PAPERS %
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
The 24th annual meeting of the European Association for Theoretical
Computer Science will take place in Bologna, Italy, July 7-11
1997. ICALP '97 comes in conjunction with the 25th anniversary of the
foundation of EATCS. To celebrate the SILVER JUBILEE, this edition of
ICALP includes several new events:
- Celebration of EATCS and of its founders (keynote speaker M. Nivat)
- Invited Lectures on major advances in theoretical computer science
since EATCS has been established:
R. Milner (Cambridge) M.O. Rabin (Jerusalem and Harvard)
C. Papadimitriou (Berkeley) D.S. Scott (Pittsburgh)
- Invited Lectures on the state of the art and new promising trends:
K.R. Apt (Amsterdam) K. Mehlhorn (Saarbrucken)
R.J. Lipton (Princeton) D. Perrin (Paris)
- A panel on ` Funding Policies for Theoretical Computer Science' with
representatives from major research agencies and form the European
Community.
- A number of Satellite Workshops, listed below, on theory and
applications.
The Program Committee represents both tracks of the journal
Theoretical Computer Science, covering `algorithms, automata,
complexity and games' and `formal methods, logic, semantics and theory
of programming' equally. If enough good papers are submitted,
parallel sessions will be organised. A WWW page, containing further
information and latest news is installed under the URL
http://www.cs.unibo.it/icalp97
mirrored in North America at the URL

TOPICS
^^^^^^
Papers presenting original contributions in any area of theoretical
computer science are being sought. Topics include (but are not limited
to):
computability, automata, formal languages, new computing paradigms,
term rewriting, analysis and design of algorithms, computational
geometry, computational complexity, symbolic and algebraic
computation, cryptography and security, data types and data
structures, theory of data base and knowledge bases, semantics of
programming languages, program specification and verification,
foundations of logic programming, parallel and distributed
computation, theory of concurrency, theory of robotics, theory of
logical design and layout.
