CiE 2015:  3rd CfP - EXTENDED DEADLINE and BEST STUDENT PAPER AWARD
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS (incl. deadline extension due to popular demand)

3rd CALL FOR PAPERS:
COMPUTABILITY IN EUROPE 2015: Evolving Computability
Bucharest, Romania
June 29 - July 3
http://fmi.unibuc.ro/CiE2015/

IMPORTANT DATES:

EXTENDED Submission Deadline for LNCS: 21 January 2015
Notification of authors: 9 March 2015
Deadline for final revisions: 6 April 2015

CiE 2015 is the 11-th conference organized by CiE (Computability in 
Europe), a European association of mathematicians, logicians, computer 
scientists, philosophers, physicists and others interested in new 
developments in computability and their underlying significance for the 
real world. Previous meetings have taken place in Amsterdam (2005), 
Swansea (2006), Siena (2007), Athens (2008), Heidelberg (2009), Ponta 
Delgada (2010), Sofia (2011), Cambridge (2012), Milan (2013) and Budapest 
(2014)

Evolution of the universe, and us within it, invite a parallel evolution 
in understanding. The CiE agenda - fundamental and engaged - targets the 
extracting and developing of computational models basic to current 
challenges. From the origins of life, to the understanding of human 
mentality, to the characterising of quantum randomness - computability 
theoretic questions arise in many guises. The CiE community, this coming 
year meeting for the first time in Bucharest, carries forward the search 
for coherence, depth and new thinking across this rich and vital field of 
research.

In all cases we are looking for fundamental and theoretical submissions. 
In line with other conferences in this series, CiE 2015 has a broad scope 
and provides a forum for the discussion of theoretical and practical 
issues in Computability with an emphasis on new paradigms of computation 
and the development of their mathematical theory.

We particularly invite papers that build bridges between different parts 
of the research community.

AWARDS:

The best student paper award is presented to the author(s) of the best 
paper, as selected by the PC, written solely by student author(s). This 
award is sponsored by Springer.

FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES:

CiE 2015 has received funding from  ASL (Association for Symbolic Logic) 
and EATCS (European Association for Theoretical Computer Science) that 
allows students who are members of ASL or EATCS and want to attend CiE 
2015 to apply for travel funds or a reduction of the early registration 
fee.

Preference will be given to presenters of accepted papers.

Applications for ASL travel grants have to be addressed directly to ASL, 
with a strict deadline of March 28, 2015.

Applications for EATCS travel grants have to be sent to 
cie2015 at fmi.unibuc.ro
prior to the early registration deadline.
