          Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science
                            MFCS 2014

The series of MFCS symposia, organized since 1972, has a long and
well-established tradition. The MFCS conferences encourage high-quality
research in all branches of theoretical computer science. Their broad
scope provides an opportunity to bring together researchers who do not
usually meet at specialized conferences.

Principal topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
algorithms and data structures (incl. sequential, parallel,
distributed, randomized, approximation, graph, network, on-line,
parameterized, optimization algorithms), algorithmic game theory,
algorithmic learning theory, computational complexity (structural and
model-related), computational geometry, models of computation, networks
(incl. wireless, sensor, ad-hoc networks),  parallel and distributed
computing, quantum computing, automata, grammars and formal languages,
combinatorics on words, trees, and other structures, bioinformatics,
computer-assisted reasoning, concurrency theory, cryptography and
security, databases and knowledge-based systems, formal specifications
and program development, foundations of computing, logic, algebra and
categories in computer science, types in computer science, mobile
computing, semantics and verification of programs, theoretical issues
in artificial intelligence.

The scientific program of MFCS 2014 contains 7 invited lectures and
presentations of 95 contributed papers.
