 ***SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS***
 (New) deadline for abstract submissions: 22 May 2008
 Notification of acceptance: 5 June 2008
 Deadline for registration: 15 June 2008
 Conference: 7-11 July 2008
 contact information: atmcs08 at lix.polytechnique.fr

 Recent research has shown that techniques from algebraic topology
 adapt strikingly well in studying computational systems and other
 subjects within Computer Science. This third ATMCS conference hopes
 to bring together researchers employing geometric/topological methods
 in both abstract and concrete areas of computer science. The week-long
 conference will feature some invited talks, several accepted talks, a
 poster session, and countless opportunities for informal
 collaboration; we plan to publish our proceedings in a refereed
 journal, pending approval. All authors submitting an abstract by the
 deadline will have an opportunity, at the least, to present a
 (refereed) poster at the poster session.

 ***SCOPE***
 Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, concurrency theory,
 distributed computing and complexity, rewriting systems, image
 analysis, and sensor networks.
