=========================================================================== SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS: TAMC 2013 The 10th Annual Conference on Theory and Applications of Models of Computation Hong Kong, China, 20-22 May 2013 http://www.cs.hku.hk/tamc2013/ =========================================================================== The 10th Annual Conference on Theory and Application of Models of Computation (TAMC 2013 http://www.cs.hku.hk/tamc2013/) will be held in Hong Kong, China, from May 20 to May 22, 2013. TAMC aims at bringing together a wide range of researchers with interests in computational theory and applications. Hong Kong is situated on China's south coast and is famous for its skyline. Hong Kong was a colony of the British Empire until 1997 when it was returned to China. It now thrives under the principle of "one country, two systems", enjoying a high degree of authority and independent judiciary. Hong Kong is often described as "East meets West" and is one of the world's leading international financial centers. Come and visit Asia's vibrant world city (www.discoverhongkong.com/eng/index.jsp) and join the conference at the University of Hong Kong (according to 2012 QS World University Rankings HKU ranked 23rd in the world and 1st in Asia). The main themes of the conference are computability, complexity, and algorithms. Typical but not exclusive topics of interest include: algebraic computation algorithmic coding theory algorithmic number theory approximation algorithms automata theory circuit complexity computability theory computational biology, and biological computing computational complexity computational game theory computational logic computational geometry continuous and real computation cryptography data structures design and analysis of algorithms distributed algorithms fixed parameter tractability graph algorithms information and communication complexity learning theory natural computation network algorithms, networks in nature and society online algorithms optimization parallel algorithms privacy and security property testing proof complexity quantum computing randomness, pseudo-randomness randomized algorithms streaming algorithms IMPORTANT DATES - Submission deadline : 11:59 pm EST January 11, 2013 Notification of authors : February 22, 2013 Final versions deadline : March 8, 2013 Submission page: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tamc2013.

They must not be submitted simultaneously to another conference with refereed proceedings. * Research that is already submitted to a journal may be submitted to TAMC13, provided that (a) the PC chair is notified in advance that this is the case, and (b) it is not scheduled for journal publication before the conference. Proceedings: The TAMC proceedings will be published in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science Series by Springer (http://www.springer.com/lncs). Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their work at the conference. Special issues of the leading journals 'Theoretical Computer Science' and 'Mathematical Structures in Computer Science', devoted to a selected set of accepted papers of the conference, are planned.
