Major topics of the conference are follows: Track (1): Algorithms, Complexity and Models of Computation analysis and design of algorithms --- algorithm experimentation --- continuous algorithms and complexity --- computational complexity --- descriptional complexity --- cellular automata and machines, automata and formal languages --- hardware algorithms and parallel algorithms --- computational learning theory --- algorithmic aspects in discovery science --- cryptography --- combinatorics --- probabilistic and randomized algorithms --- molecular computing and algorithmic aspects of bioinformatics --- quantum computing --- neural network computing --- evolutionary and genetic algorithms --- computational geometry --- computational and mathematical finance --- bridging complexity and semantics. Track (2): Logic, Semantics, Specification and Verification logic and semantics for programs and languages --- foundations of system specification --- term rewriting systems --- proofs and specifications in computer science --- types and category theory in computer science --- theoretical aspects of specification and verification of hardware and software --- theoretical aspects of software concepts --- concurrency theory --- theory of parallel and distributed systems --- theory of internet languages and systems --- constructive and non-standard logics in computer science --- foundations of security --- theoretical foundations of data bases --- logic, specification and verification of hybrid and real-time systems --- theoretical foundations of open systems --- bridging semantics and complexity. Submissions on the above topics and related topics are invited. Submitted papers should preferably be typeset in LaTeX2e using the Springer document class llncs for the LNCS format, see http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html (the command \pagestyle{plain} turns on page numbering), and no longer than 14 pages. They should be sent in Postscript by email to one of the following addresses by January 28 (Friday), 2000: for Track (1), tcs2000-track1@is.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp; for Track (2), tcs2000-track2@is.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp. A submission should include the track name for the submission, the title of the paper, names and affiliations of authors, an abstract up to 300 words, and the contact author's name, address, phone number, fax number, and email address. The submission must be in English, and it should provide a summary of the main results and their details to allow the program committee to assess their merits and significance, including references and comparisons. The result of the paper must be unpublished and not submitted for publication elsewhere, including journals and the proceedings of other symposia or workshops. One author of each accepted paper should be able to present it at the conference. Important Dates: January 28, 2000: Deadline for submission of papers April 7, 2000: Notification of acceptance May 5, 2000: Final camera-ready text due See http://hagi.is.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp/tcs2000/ for further information about the submission procedure.
