Call for Papers
Middle-European Conference on Applied Theoretical Computer Science (MATCOS)
Koper, Slovenia, October 10th and 11th, 2013.
Held in conjunction with the 16th Multi-Conference on Information Society, October 7-11, 2013, Ljubljana, Slovenia. (http://is.ijs.si/)
Scope and Topics
During the past years, other fields have used several subjects, methods and approaches of Theoretical Computer Science, and several results have been integrated into practical applications. Solutions for NP-hard problems, algorithmic-oriented AI and data mining procedures, new models and methods in system biology and bioinformatics, automata theory approaches in software and hardware verification, prospective new models of computation and future computer architecture are good examples to buttress the above statement.
We set double aims as the scope of this conference: on one hand side we expect ideas and solutions from the field of Theoretical Computer Science which have been directly applied in real world applications. On the other side we want to collect theoretical results based on some fruitful idea that may be useful to adopt for practical problems.
Suggested, but not exclusive, topics of interest include:
- Automata and formal languages, computability,
- Algorithms and data structutes,
- Computational complexity,
- Artificial intelligence, machine learning,
- Optimization, approximation methods, NP-hard problems,
- Graph theory.
There is a special emphasis on use in applications such as simulation, bioinformatics, digital signal and image processing, logistics etc.

Paper submission:
Papers presenting original research in conference topics are being sought. Papers must be in English and provide sufficient details to allow the program committee to assess their merits. Submissions, as well as final versions, are limited to 4 pages sharp and will be published in an Information Society multiconference proceeding. Revised versions of full papers will appear in post-conference proceedings published by the University of Primorska Press.
Instructions for preparing the papers can be downloaded from Conference Website.
Only electronic submissions will be accepted (in pdf format), via
