**** <We apologize for multiple postings.> **** Please can you publicise this amongst your colleagues and particularly PhD students who could take advantage of our grants for accommodation etc +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ CALL FOR PARTICIPATION British Colloquium on Theoretical Computer Science 7th - 9th April 2003 Leicester, United Kingdom http://www.mcs.le.ac.uk/events/bctcs19/ The British Colloquium for Theoretical Computer Science (BCTCS) is an annual conference providing a forum for research in all areas of theoretical computer science. As such, it aims to provide an informal setting within which researchers can meet and discuss recent developments and results in the broad swathe of the subject rather than in just their own area of specialty. The BCTCS is also dedicated to the development and training of postgraduate research students. Indeed, the relaxed nature of the conference provides an excellent environment where postgraduate students may gain the experience of presenting their work to their colleagues and benefit from contact with established researchers in the community. A number of grants are available to fund the accommodation and registration costs of postgraduate students who are willing to give talks. This year, we are pleased to have invited talks in the areas of programming language semantics, category theory, algorithms, formal languages and automata theory given by Prof A. Jung, University of Birmingham, UK Prof F.W. Lawvere, State University of New York, USA Prof K. Mehlhorn, Universitaet des Saarlandes, Germany Dr S. Muthukrishnan, Rutgers University, USA and AT&T Prof. J. Pin, Universite Paris Denis Diderot et CNRS, France Further details of the program etc will be available from the website http://www.mcs.le.ac.uk/events/bctcs19/ and registration, travel, costs etc can be found at http://www.le.ac.uk/conference/bctcs/ For any other issues, please contact bctcs19@mcs.le.ac.uk Neil Ghani Dr Conference Organiser +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Dr Neil Ghani Email : ng13@mcs.le.ac.uk | | Dept of Maths and Computer Science Web : www.mcs.le.ac.uk/~ng13 | | University of Leicester | | University Rd, | | Leicester LE1 7RH Phone : +44 (0)116 252 3807 | | United Kingdom Fax : +44 (0)116 252 3915 | +---------------------------------------------------------------------+
