The Institute of Cryptography and Security and the Institute of 
Theoretical Informatics of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) 
announce COMPUTING 2011, a symposium devoted to the 75th anniversary of 
two pioneering works on the theory of computation: ?On Computable Numbers, 
with an Application to the Entscheidungsproblem? by Alan Turing and ?An 
Unsolvable Problem of Elementary Number Theory? by Alonzo Church.

The symposium will review the work of Church and Turing and its influence 
on contemporary Theoretical Computer Science. Talks at the symposium are 
intended to cover--among others-- topics like

    * Different Models of Computing (including, e.g., Parallel, Quantum, and
      Molecular/DNA Computing),
    * Complexity (including Computational and Parameterized Complexity),
    * Decidability of various Logical and Computational Systems,
    * Termination Analysis,
    * Computational Geometry.

The symposium will consist of invited talks given by both established and 
junior scientists.
