SCOPE
The purpose of the BCTCS is to provide a forum in which researchers in
theoretical computer science can meet, present research findings, and
discuss developments in the field. It also aims to provide an
environment in which PhD students can gain experience in presenting
their work, and benefit from contact with established researchers. The
conference will consist of invited keynote presentations by
distinguished researchers and a number of contributed talks.
LOCATION AND SCHEDULE
BCTCS 2010 will be held at the University of Edinburgh, in the centre
of Edinburgh. Talks will be at the Informatics Forum, and
accommodation will be in the Pollock Halls of Residence nearby.
Edinburgh is easily accessible by train from most of the U.K., and has
air connections to most UK and many European airports.
The event will start on Tuesday afternoon and will end with a lunch on
Friday.
INVITED SPEAKERS
BCTCS 2010 will include invited lectures by the following
distinguished speakers:
* Erik Demaine (MIT)
* Johan Hstad (KTH Stockholm)
* Gil Kalai (HU Jerusalem)
* Kim Guldstrand Larsen (Aalborg)
* Catuscia Palamidessi (INRIA / cole Polytechnique)
* Ulrike Sattler (Manchester)
CONTRIBUTED TALKS
Participants at the colloquium are encouraged to present a contributed
talk. If you wish to present a contributed talk, please give the title
when you register for the Colloquium. You will be asked to provide an
abstract, using a provided LaTeX template, at a later stage.
The abstracts of accepted contributed talks will be published in the
Bulletin of the European Association for Theoretical Computer Science.
STUDENT GRANTS
