Advances in the Theory of Computing" (AITC'2010) is a special session of SYNASC 2010, the 12th Annual Symposium on Symbolic and Numeric Algorithms for Scientific Compting. Conference location: West University of Timisoara, Romania, September 26-29, 2010. AITC Website: http://tcs.ieat.ro/aitc2010 Program Committee: Olaf Beyersdorff (Hannover, Germany) Francine Blanchet-Sadri (Greensboro NC, U.S.A.) Gabriel Ciobanu (Iasi, Romania) Jérôme Durand-Lose (Orleans, France) Gabriel Istrate (Timisoara, Romania, co-chair) Shiva Prasad Kasiviswanathan (Los Alamos NM, U.S.A.) Miklós Krész (Szeged, Hungary) Florin Manea (Magdeburg, Germany, co-chair) Ion Mãndoiu (Storrs CT, U.S.A.) Daniel Reidenbach (Loughborough, U.K.) Gheorghe ?tefãnescu (Bucharest, Romania) We invite submissions presenting significant advances in the Theory of Computing in the form of: + full-length research papers, + informal presentations. Accepted research papers will be published on electronic media (distributed during the conference) and in the conference post-proceedings, published by the IEEE Computer Society Press. (For previous editions of SYNASC see http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/mostRecentIssue.jsp?punumber=5459479) All areas of Theoretical Computer Science, broadly construed, are of interest. In particular a non-exhaustive list of topics includes: - Data Structures and algorithms - Combinatorial Optimization - Formal languages and Combinatorics on Words. - Graph-theoretic and Combinatorial methods in Computer Science - Algorithmic paradigms, including distributed, online, approximation, probabilistic, game-theoretic algorithms. - Computational Complexity Theory, including structural complexity, boolean complexity, communication complexity, average-case complexity, derandomization and property testing. - Logical approaches to complexity, including finite model theory. - Algorithmic and computational learning theory. - Aspects of computability theory, including computability in analysis and algorithmic information theory. - Proof complexity. - Computational social choice and game theory - New computational paradigms: CNN computing, quantum, holographic and other non-standard approaches to Computability. - Randomized methods, random graphs, threshold phenomena and typical-case complexity. - Automata theory and other formal models, particularly in relation to formal verification methods such as model checking and runtime verification. - Applications of theory, including wireless and sensor networks, computational biology and computational economics. - Experimental algorithmics. Papers of up to 8 pages (IEEE conference style), must be submitted electronically through EasyChair. Please select the Advances in the Theory of Computing track when prompted by the system. Research papers must contain original results, not concurrently submitted to other publication venues and not published elsewhere. Informal presentations can also be submitted (as a one-page pdf document) to synasc-tcs@info.uvt.ro. Some of the submissions may be accepted as an informal presentations only. All authors of accepted papers are expected to present their contribution(s) at the conference. IMPORTANT DATES: July 1st: Paper submission deadline. August 20: Notification of acceptance September 08: Deadline for submitting revised versions September 23-26: Main conference November 30: Deadline for post-proceedings publication (IEEE DL)
