                        CALL for PARTICIPATION

       24th Estonian Winter School in Computer Science, EWSCS '19

                     Palmse, Estonia, 3-8 March 2019

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES

EWSCS is a series of regional-scope international winter schools held
annually in Estonia. EWSCS are organized by Tallinn University of
Technology.

The main objective of EWSCS is to expose Estonian, Baltic, and Nordic
graduate students in computer science (but also interested students
from elsewhere) to frontline theoretical computer science research
topics usually not covered within the regular curricula. The working
language of the schools is English.

EWSCS' 19 is the twenty-fourth event of the series.

PROGRAMME

The schools' scientific programme consists of short courses by
renowned specialists and a student session. The courses of EWSCS '19
are:

    Jade Alglave (University College London, UK):
    Program reasoning for relaxed memory

    Zena Ariola (University of Oregon, Eugene, OR, USA):
    Logic and computation

    Barbara Kordy (IRISA, Rennes, France):
    Attack trees 20 years later

    Andrei Sabelfeld (Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg,
    Sweden):
    Information flow tracking

    Jiri Sgall (Charles University of Prague, Czech Republic):
    Online algorithms

The purpose of the student session is to give students an opportunity
to present their work (typically, thesis work) and get
feedback. Registrants are invited to propose short talks (20 min) on
topics of theoretical computer science, broadly understood. The
selection will be based on abstracts of 150-400 words.

The social programme consists of an excursion and a conference dinner.

VENUE

Palmse is a small settlement 80 kms to the east from Tallinn in the
county of Lääne-Viru. It is renowned for a large manor that used to
belong to the von Pahlen family, today hosting the visitors' center of
the Lahemaa National Park, a museum, and a hotel.

The school will organize a bus from Tallinn to Palmse and back.
