[TYPES] MFCS'06 - call for papers

[Pawel Urzyczyn]

Even if types are not _explicitly_ mentioned as a "principal topic"
in the call below, many of these topics are connected to types, and
we _do_ invite papers in type-related areas. Therefore I submit this
announcement to the Types list.

                          CALL FOR PAPERS


The series of MFCS symposia, organized alternately in the Czech Republic,
Poland and Slovakia since 1972, has a long and well-established tradition. The
MFCS symposia encourage high-quality research in all branches of theoretical
computer science. Their broad scope provides an opportunity to bring together
specialists who do not usually meet at specialized conferences. Quality papers
presenting original research on theoretical aspects of computer science are
solicited.

Principal topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

* design and analysis of algorithms and data structures (including sequential,
  parallel, distributed, approximation, graph, network, on-line, optimization)
* structural and computational complexity
* foundations of computing
* automata, grammars and formal languages
* semantics and verification of programs
* logic in computer science
* formal specifications and program development
* models of computation
* concurrency theory
* computational geometry
* parallel and distributed computing
* mobile computing
* networks (including wireless, sensor, ad-hoc)
* bioinformatics
* quantum computing
* cryptography and security
* databases and knowledge-based systems
* algorithmic learning theory
* algorithmic game theory
* computer-assisted reasoning
* theoretical issues in artificial intelligence

The scientific program will include a number of invited lectures covering the
areas of current interest.
