Presburger Award for Young Scientists in theoretical computer science, Deadline: 31 December 2011

Presburger Award for Young Scientists

Call for Nominations

Deadline: December 31st, 2011

Starting in 2010, the European Association of Theoretical Computer Scienc 
e (EATCS) established the Presburger Award, conferred annually at the 
International Colloquium on Automata, Languages and Programming (ICALP) to 
a young scientist (in exceptional cases to sev eral young scientists) for 
outstanding contributions in theoretical computer science, documented by a 
published paper or a series of published papers.

The Award is named after Mojżesz Presburger who accomplished his 
path-breaking work on decidability of the theory of addition (which today 
is called Presburger arithmetic) as a student in 1929. In 2010 the 
Presburger Award was given to Mikołaj Boja&amp ;#324;czyk (Warsaw) 
for his deep contributions to automata theory and to logic and algebra in 
computer sci ence.  Patricia Bouyer- Decitre was the recipient of the 
award in 2011 for her fundamental contri butions to the theory and 
applications of timed automata as a model of real-time systems.

Nominations for the Presburger Award can be submitted by any member or gr 
oup of members of the theoretical computer science community except the 
nominee and his/her advisors for the master thesis and the doctoral 
dissertation. Nominated scientists have to be at most 35 years at the time 
of the deadline of nomination (i.e., for the Presburger Award of 2012 the 
date of birth should be in 1976 or later).

The Presburger Award Committee of 2012 consists of Monika Henzinger (Vien 
na), Anton?n Kučera (Brno) and Stefano Leonardi (Rome, chair). 
Nominations, consisting of a two page justification and (links to) the 
respective papers, as well as additional supporting letter s (if any), 
should be sent to:

Stefano Leonardi,

Dipartimento di Ingegneria Informatica,
Automatica e Gestionale Antonio Ruberti,
Sapienza University of Rome,
Via Ariosto 25, 00185 Roma, Italy; or

leon@dis.uniroma1.it

by December 31st, 2011.

The award includes an amount of 1000 Euro and an invitation to ICALP2012
for a lecture.
The Presburger Award is sponsored by BiCi, the Bertinoro international Ce
nter for informatics.
