Magic in Science:
-----------------

The symposium “Magic in Science” will be co-located with CiE 2017. It 
takes place on June 17, 2017, immediately after CiE. The symposium 
celebrates the 75th birthday of Prof. Grzegorz Rozenberg, University of 
Leiden, the Netherlands and University of Colorado at Boulder, USA. 
Grzegorz Rozenberg is one of the world leaders in research on 
Theoretical Computer Science and Natural Computing. As a matter of fact, 
he is often called the guru of Natural Computing, having started 
promoting it as a coherent scientific discipline already from the 1970s 
– he gave this area its name and defined its scope. He played a central 
role in the development of theoretical computer science in Europe. His 
research is very broad in scope and it is a prime example of 
interdisciplinary research. He has authored exceptionally many research 
papers opening new vistas, as well as well-known books   about 
developmental languages, decidability and DNA computing. He supervised 
numerous Ph.D. students, many of whom have become known scientists. He 
serves or has served the international computer science community in 
numerous roles, including: president of the European Association for 
Theoretical Computer Science (EATCS); cofounder and president of the 
International Society for Nanoscale Science, Computation, and 
Engineering (ISNSCE); chair of the steering committee of the DNA 
Computing Conference; cofounder and chair of the steering committee of 
the International Conference on Application and Theory of Petri Nets; 
chair of the steering committee of the European Educational Forum; 
cofounder and chair of the steering committee of the International 
Conference on Developments in Language Theory; co-chair of the steering 
committee of the International Conference on Unconventional Computation 
and Natural Computation; and director of European Molecular Computing 
Consortium. The talks given at the symposium will have an overview 
character and together they will cover a broad range of topics from 
Computer Science, reflecting Grzegorz Rozenberg's broad research 
interests. Among the topics covered are: P vs NP, reaction systems, 
membrane computing, graph isomorphism, combinatorics on words, DNA 
rearrangements, smart textiles, smart drones, magic squares, wonder 
cubes, and odor reproduction.
  Confirmed speakers include: David Harel, Weizmann Institute of 
Science, Israel- "On odor reproduction and how to test for it" Hendrik 
Jan Hoogeboom, University of Leiden, the Netherlands - TBA Juraj 
Hromkovic, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich, Switzerland - 
"Why P vs. NP is so hard that even magicians failed to solve it" Natasha 
Jonoska, University of South Florida, USA - TBA Juhani Karhumäki, 
University of Turku, Finland - "Combinatorics on words and k-abelian 
equivalence" Hermann Maurer, Academia Europaea and Graz University of 
Technology, Austria: "Some unusual applications of computer science" 
George Paun, Institute of Mathematics of the Academy of Romania - TBA 
Azaria Paz, Technion, Israel - "Linked magic squares on a cube. Theme 
and variations" Moshe Vardi, Rice University, USA - "The 
Automated-Reasoning Revolution: From Theory to Practice and Back" The 
symposium is free of charge. Details: http://combio.abo.fi/rozenberg75/
