British Colloquium for Theoretical Computer Science Bath, UK 24th-27th March 2013 http://cs.bath.ac.uk/bctcs2013 FIRST CALL FOR CONTRIBUTED TALKS AND PARTICIPATION Deadline for application for bursaries: 28th February 2013 Deadline for abstract submission: 10th March 2013 Deadline for registration: 10th March 2013 The 29th British Colloquium for Theoretical Computer Science will be hosted by the Department of Computer Science, University of Bath, from 24th to 27th March 2013. The purpose of BCTCS is to provide a forum in which researchers in theoretical computer science can meet, present research findings, and discuss developments in the field. It also aims to provide an environment in which PhD students can gain experience in presenting their work, and benefit from contact with established researchers. 25 fully-funded PhD Student Bursaries are available, covering UK travel, accommodation at University rate, and full registration. It is easy to apply for one. Please see the website for details. We are grateful to the Heilbronn Institute for Mathematical Research for sponsoring these bursaries. The scope of the colloquium includes all aspects of theoretical computer science, including automata theory, algorithms, complexity theory, semantics, formal methods, concurrency, types, languages and logics. Both computer scientists and mathematicians are welcome to attend, as are participants from outside of the UK. The colloquium features both invited and contributed talks. This year's invited speakers are Susanne Albers, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, the LMS-sponsored keynote speaker in Discrete Mathematics Samson Abramsky, University of Oxford Assia Mahboubi, École Polytechnique, Paris plus a representative of Altran UK; details to be announced. Participants wishing to give 30 minute contributed talks may simply to submit a title and abstract (100--300 words) by the deadline given below.
