=======================================================================
27th British Colloquium for Theoretical Computer Science (BCTCS)
18th to 21st April 2011
University of Birmingham
http://events.cs.bham.ac.uk/BCTCS2011
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 2011 will be held at the University of Birmingham, a short train ride
away from the central "New Street Station" which has direct connections from
much of the UK.
Accommodation will be provided by the Etap Hotel in the city centre with
easy access to eateries and other amenities.
The event will start on Monday afternoon and will end with a lunch on
Thursday (the day before Good Friday).
INVITED SPEAKERS
BCTCS 2011 will include invited lectures by the following
distinguished speakers:
* David S. Johnson (AT&T Labs)
* Cliff Jones (Newcastle)
* Prakash Panangaden (McGill)
* Peter Selinger (Dalhousie)
* Nigel Smart (Bristol)
* Carsten Witt (Technical University of Denmark)
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
The BCTCS steering committee have submitted an application to EPSRC which
will, if successful, provide funding to support the participation of up to
45 graduate students at BCTCS. The grants are intended to cover registration
including accomodation and meals, but not travel. Those enrolled as Ph.D.
students may apply for these grants on the registration form.
While we await a decision from EPSRC we recommend that you register now,
as it will be easy to refund to the card you use for registration if you
are awarded a grant.
REGISTRATION
The registration fee is GBP 290, which includes accommodation (nights of the
18th, 19th, and 20th) and one evening meal. Registration is via the
Colloquium website.
Registration closes on 4 APRIL 2011.
ORGANISATION AND FURTHER INFORMATION
The conference is being organised by Achim Jung, Paul Levy, and Sarah
Collins of the School of Computer Science, University of Birmingham.
