CALL FOR INFORMAL PRESENTATIONS AT CiE 2009:

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-conference proceedings is not able to accommodate this form of 
scientific communication.

Again 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 
half a page) by the DEADLINE:

                               1 JUNE 2009.

Please submit your abstract by sending an informal email to our 
contact address:

                        logic at math.uni-heidelberg.de

You will be notified whether your talk has been accepted for informal 
presentation usually within a week after your submission.

Let us remind you that we are planning several post-conference 
publications, which will contain full articles of selected CiE 2009 
presentations, including informal presentations.
