                            Call for Papers
   Middle-European Conference on Applied Theoretical Computer Science
                                (MATCOS)

             Koper, Slovenia, October 12th and 13th, 2016.
                        http://matcos.iam.upr.si

Held in conjunction with the 19th Multi-Conference on Information
Society, October 10-14, 2016, Ljubljana, Slovenia. (http://is.ijs.si)

Scope and Topics
----------------
During the past years, other fields have used several subjects,
methods and approaches of Theoretical Computer Science, and several
results have been integrated into practical applications. Solutions
for NP-hard problems, algorithmic-oriented AI and data mining
procedures, new models and methods in system biology and
bioinformatics, automata theory approaches in software and hardware
verification, prospective new models of computation and future
computer architecture are good examples to buttress the above
statement.

We set double aims as the scope of this conference: on one hand side
we expect ideas and solutions from the field of Theoretical Computer
Science which have been directly applied in real world
applications. On the other side we want to collect theoretical results
based on some fruitful idea that may be useful to adopt for practical
problems.

Suggested, but not exclusive, topics of interest include:
- Automata and formal languages, computability,
- Algorithms and data structures,
- Computational complexity,
- Artificial intelligence, machine learning,
- Optimization, approximation methods, NP-hard problems,
- Graph theory.

There is a special emphasis on use in applications such as simulation,
bioinformatics, digital signal and image processing, logistics etc.
