_________________________________________________________________ Call for Informal Presentations CiE 2011: Computability in Europe Models of Computation in Context Sofia, Bulgaria 27 June 2011 - 2 July 2011 http://cie2011.fmi.uni-sofia.bg/ _____________________________________________________________________ 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. 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 one page) by the DEADLINE: MAY 15, 2011 Please submit your abstract electronically, via EasyChair, selecting the category "Informal Presentation". You will be notified whether your talk has been accepted for informal presentation usually within a week after your submission, so if you intend to apply for ASL Student Travel Awards you should submit your abstract before March 27, 2011. Let us remind you that we are planning several post-conference publications, which will contain full articles of selected CiE 2011 presentations, including informal presentations. GRANTS: Grants for students, members of the ASL: Students who are members of the ASL may apply for ASL travel support. Applications have to be addressed directly to the ASL, see their web-site on student travel awards for more information. The deadline for applying for an ASL grant is March 27, 2011, applying earlier is encouraged. NSF Grants for young U.S. participants: The National Science Foundation of the United States is providing travel support targeted at junior researchers and students from the U.S. Request for support should be sent to cen...@ufl.edu by March 30, 2011. Preference will be given to those who are presenting papers at the conference. Students should provide a letter of support from their advisors. EMS grants for young East European Reserchers: Thanks to the generous support from EMS, CiE 2011 is glad to be able to offer partial or total fee waivers for a small number of Eastern European researchers (including from former Soviet Union), whose work has been accepted for presentation at CiE2011. Preference will be given to young researchers and researchers with papers accepted for LNCS. To apply, please send an application to cie2...@fmi.uni-sofia.bg. The application should include name, affiliation and the title of the submission for CiE 2011. The deadline for application is April 30, 2011. Women in Computability: In 2011, we continue the programme "Women in Computability" (funded from 2008 to 2010 by the Elsevier Foundation) now supported by the journal "Annals of Pure and Applied Logic" (Elsevier). As part of this programme, we can offer four modest "Elsevier Women in Computability grants" for female graduate students or junior researchers. The grant will be paid as a reimbursement of up to 200 EUR of travel and accommodation expenses. More information about deadlines and the application process will become available in March 2011. All questions about the conference could be send at cie2...@fmi.uni-sofia.bg ___________________________________________________________ Association Computability in Europe http://www.computability.org.uk CiE Conference Series http://www.illc.uva.nl/CiE CiE 2011 http://cie2011.fmi.uni-sofia.bg CiE Membership Application Form http://www.cs.swan.ac.uk/acie ___________________________________________________________
