                              CALL FOR PAPERS
**************************************************************************

The series of MFCS symposia, organized alternately in the Czech Republic,
Poland and Slovakia since 1972, has a long and well-established tradition.
The MFCS symposia encourage high-quality research in all branches of
theoretical computer science. Their broad scope provides an opportunity to
bring together specialists who do not usually meet at specialized
conferences. Papers presenting original research on theoretical aspects of
computer science are solicited.

Principal topics of interest include (but are not limited to): design and
analysis of algorithms (sequential, parallel, distributed, approximation,
computational biology, computational geometry, graph, network, on-line,
optimisation) and data structures, algorithmic learning theory, automata,
grammars and formal languages, structural and computational complexity,
concurrency theory, cryptography and security, databases and
knowledge-based systems, foundations of programming, formal specifications
and program development, models of computation, parallel and distributed
computing, quantum computing, molecular computing, mobile computing, net
computing, semantics and logics of programs, theoretical issues in
artificial intelligence.

The scientific program will include invited lectures covering the areas of
current interest, short communications describing original research, and a
number of 1-2 day workshops immediately preceding or following the
conference. So far, the following workshops were confirmed:

  * Algorithmic Foundations of Communication Networks
  * New Developments in Formal Languages versus Complexity
  * Prague Stringology Club Workshop 2000

(See the conference Web page for current information.)
