                  CiE'07: COMPUTABILITY IN EUROPE 2007

               http://www.mat.unisi.it/newsito/cie07.html

                          University of Siena
                        Siena, 18 - 23 June 2007

                     CALL FOR INFORMAL PRESENTATIONS

                        DEADLINE: 27 April, 2007

* THERE IS A REMARKABLE DIFFERENCE in conference style between computer
science and mathematics conferences. Mathematics conferences allow for
informal presentations that are prepared very shortly before the 
conference and inform the participants about current research and work in 
progress. The format of computer science conferences with pre-produced 
proceedings volumes is not able to accommodate this form of scientific 
communication. Continuing the tradition established at CiE 2005 in 
Amsterdam, and at CiE 2006 in Swansea, the 2007 conference in Siena 
endeavours to get the best of both worlds.

* IN ADDITION TO THIS YEAR'S RECORD NUMBER of formal presentations based 
on our projected LNCS and local proceedings volumes, we invite researchers 
to present informal presentations. For this, please send us a brief 
description of your talk (up to and approaching one page in length) before 
27 April 2007.

* PLEASE SUBMIT YOUR ABSTRACT via the online Submission Form at:

http://www.amsta.leeds.ac.uk/~pmt6sbc/cie07.ipform.html

* If you submit an informal presentation, you will get an e-mail with a
decision on acceptance or rejection within two weeks of your submission.

* Let us add that there will be four post-conference special issues of
journals for CiE 2007. See:

http://www.amsta.leeds.ac.uk/~pmt6sbc/cie07.jour.html

* All speakers, including the speakers of informal presentations, are
eligible to be invited to submit a full journal version of their talk to 
one of the post-conference publications.
