 The Symposium on Fundamentals of Computation Theory was established in
 1977  for researchers interested in all aspects of theoretical computer
 science, in particular in algorithms, complexity, formal and logical
 methods. It is a biennial series of conferences previously held in Poznan
 (1977), Wendisch-Rietz (1979), Szeged (1981), Borgholm (1983), Cottbus
 (1985), Kazan (1987), Szeged (1989), Gosen-Berlin (1991), Szeged (1993),
 Dresden (1995), Kraków (1997), Iasi (1999), Riga (2001), Malmö (2003), and
 Lübeck (2005).


 TOPICS:

 Authors are invited to submit papers presenting original unpublished
 research in all areas of theoretical computer science.

 Topics of interest include (but not limited to):

 automata and formal languages
 design and analysis of algorithms
 computational and structural complexity
 semantics
 logic, algebra and categories in computer science
 circuits and networks
 learning theory
 specification and verification
 parallel and distributed systems
 concurrency theory
 cryptography and cryptographic protocols
 approximation and randomized algorithms
 computational geometry
 quantum computation and information
 bio-inspired computation

 SUBMISSION:

 Authors are invited to submit a draft of a full paper  with at most 12
 pages in LNCS style.

 The paper should provide sufficient detail to allow the Programme Committee
 to evaluate its validity, quality, and relevance. If appropriate, then
 detailed proofs can be attached as an appendix. Simultaneous submission to
 other conferences with published proceedings is not allowed.

 Only electronic submissions are accepted,  PLEASE FOLLOW the INSTRUCTIONS
 on the CONFERENCE WEB SITE: http://www.conferences.hu/fct2007

 IMPORTANT DATES:

 Deadline for submissions:       March 5, 2007

 Notification to the authors:      April 20, 2007

 Final version :                        May 20, 2007

 Symposium:                          August 27-30, 2007



 PROCEEDINGS:

 We anticipate that the proceedings will be published in  the Lecture Notes
 in Computer Science series of Springer Verlag, and that
 a special issue of Theoretical Computer Science will be devoted to
 selected papers presented at the conference.
