CiE serves as an interdisciplinary forum for research in all aspects of computability and foundations of computer science, as well as the interplay of these theoretical areas with practical issues in computer science and with other disciplines such as biology, mathematics, philosophy, or physics. Women in Computability Workshop, July 2, 2013: We continue the programme "Women in Computability" supported by the journal "Annals of Pure and Applied Logic" (Elsevier). Speakers: Irene Finocchi, Laxmi Parida, Liesbeth De Mol The Women in Computability workshop aims to bring together women in Computing and Mathematical research to present and exchange their academic and scientific experience with young researchers. The meeting will offer the CIE scientific community the opportunity to encourage young students, especially young female researchers, to have active careers in the mathematical and computational sciences. INFORMAL PRESENTATIONS: Continuing the tradition of past CiE conferences, this year's CiE conference endeavours to get the best of both worlds. In addition to the formal presentations based on our LNCS proceedings volume, we invite researchers to present informal presentations. For this, please send us a brief description of your talk (between one paragraph and one page) by the DEADLINE: MAY 31, 2013 Please submit your abstract electronically, via EasyChair <https://www.easychair.org/login.cgi?conf=cie2013>, selecting the category "Informal Presentation". You will be notified whether your talk has been accepted for informal presentation usually within a week after your submission. **** Also authors of abstracts accepted for presentation are invited to submit a paper extending the abstract to the journal Computability **** __________________________________________________________________________ ASSOCIATION COMPUTABILITY IN EUROPE http://www.computability.org.uk CiE Conference Series http://www.illc.uva.nl/CiE CiE 2013 http://cie2013.disco.unimib.it CiE Membership Application Form http://www.cs.swan.ac.uk/acie __________________________________________________________________________
