CiE 2016's Motto is: "Pursuit of the Universal". This year’s conference will
open with a special tribute session that CiE society is dedicating to the
former CiE president, Barry Cooper who unexpectedly passed away on October
26th 2015.  Barry was originally scheduled as a plenary speaker at this year’s
conference.

The year 2016 brings the eightieth anniversary of the publication of Alan
Turing's seminal paper featuring the Universal Turing Machine. Just as the
semantics of the machine gave rise to Incomputability, and pointed to future
directions in proof theory, AI, generalized computability, the underlying role
of typed information and natural language, and the computability and
definability underpinning bioinformatics: so our conference subtitle honors
Turing's role in anticipating the quest for universal computational frameworks
across a wide spectrum of scientific and humanist disciplines.

CiE 2016 is the twelfth 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 Delgada (2010), Sofia (2011),
Cambridge (2012), Milan (2013), Budapest (2014) and Bucharest (2015).

The PROGRAMME COMMITTEE cordially invites all researchers (European and
non-European) to submit their papers in all areas related to computability for
presentation at the conference and inclusion in the proceedings at
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cie2016

Papers must be submitted in PDF format, using the LNCS style (available at
ftp://ftp.springer.de/pub/tex/latex/llncs/latex2e/llncs2e.zip) and should have
a maximum of 10 pages, including references but excluding a possible appendix
in which one can include proofs and other additional material.

Papers that build bridges between different parts of the research community
are particularly welcome.

The CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS will be published by LNCS, Springer Verlag.
