 Intermediate Announcement
 COMPUTABILITY IN EUROPE 2011
 Models of Computation in Context
 Sofia (Bulgaria), 27 June- 02 July
 http://cie2011.fmi.uni-sofia.bg
 Deadline for submissions: January 14, 2011
 **********************************************************************


 Computability in Europe provides the largest international conference
 dealing with the full spectrum of computability-related research.
 CiE 2011 is the seventh conference in the series and emphasises the
 connections and context, within the traditional CiE respect for
 researchers' autonomy and diversity of approach. CiE in Sofia will
 bring context, multidisciplinary perspective and computability-
 theoretic focus to a wide spectrum of disciplines - including computer
 science, mathematics and logic, physics and quantum theory, biology
 and informatics, linguistics and philosophy, neuroscience and learning
 theory. CiE serves as an interdisciplinary forum for research in all
 aspects of computability and foundations of computer science, as well
 as the interplay of these theoretical areas with practical issues in
 computer science and with other disciplines such as biology,
 mathematics, philosophy, or physics. We particularly invite papers
 that build bridges between different parts of the research community.
 Since women are underrepresented in mathematics and computer science,
 we emphatically encourage submissions by female authors.


 The main events in this year conference are as follows:

 Tutorials:
 . Jack Lutz (Iowa State University)
 . Geoffrey Pullum (University of Edinburgh)

 Confirmed plenary speakers:
 . Scott Aaronson (MIT)

 . Alasdair Urquhart (University of Toronto)

 Special sessions:
 . Computability in Analysis, Algebra, and Geometry
 (Organizers: Alexandra Shlapentokh, Dieter Spreen)
 . Classical Computability Theory
 (Organizers: Doug Cenzer, Bjørn Kjos-Hanssen)
 . Natural Computing
 (Organizers: Erzsébet Csuhaj-Varjú, Ion Petre)
 . Relations between the physical world and formal
 models of computability (Organizers: Viv Kendon, Sonja Smets)
 . Theory of transfinite computations
 (Organizers: Peter Koepke, C.T. Chong)
 . Computational Linguistics
 (Organizers: Tejaswini Deoskar, Tinko Tinchev)


 SUBMISSIONS: The Programme Committee cordially invites all
 researchers in the area of the conference to submit their papers
 (in PDF-format, at most 10 pages) for presentation at CiE 2011
 to http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cie2011. The best
 of the accepted papers will be published in the conference
 proceedings within the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS)
 series of Springer, which will be available at the conference.
 Other accepted contributed papers together with abstracts of
 informal presentations will appear in our local pre-conference
 proceedings volume. Authors of accepted papers are expected to
 present their work at the conference. Submitted papers must
 describe work not previously published, and they must neither
 be accepted nor under review at a journal or at another conference
 with refereed proceedings. All papers need to be prepared in
 LNCS-style LaTeX. Papers should not exceed 10 pages; full proofs
 may appear in a technical appendix which will be read at the
 reviewers' discretion. Submissions authored or co-authored by
 members of the Programme Committee are not allowed.
