CiE 2014 is the tenth 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), Ponte Dalgada (2010), Sofia (2011), Cambridge 
(2012), and Milan (2013).

The motto of CiE 2014 "Language, Life, Limits" intends to put a special focus 
on  relations  between computational linguistics, natural and biological 
computing, and more traditional fields of computability theory.

This is to be understood in its broadest sense including computational aspects 
of problems in linguistics, studying models of computation and algorithms 
inspired by physical and biological approaches as well as exhibiting limits 
(and non-limits) of computability when considering different models of 
computation arising from such approaches.

As with previous CiE conferences the allover glueing perspective is to 
strengthen the mutual benefits of analyzing traditional and new computational 
paradigms in their corresponding frameworks both with respect to practical 
applications and a deeper theoretical understanding.
