15th INTERNATIONAL COMPUTER SCIENCE SYMPOSIUM IN RUSSIA (CSR 2020)

June 29 - July 03, 2020, Ekaterinburg, Russia

https://csr2020.sciencesconf.org

CSR is an annual international conference held in Russia that is designed to cover a broad range of topics in Theoretical Computer Science. The list of previous CSR conferences can be found at https://logic.pdmi.ras.ru/~csr/ . Conference proceedings are published in Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.We will publish a selection of extended versions of accepted papers in a Special Issue of the Springer journal "Theory of Computing Systems". A further Special Issue with invited extended versions of accepted algorithmic papers is planned with the MDPI journal “Algorithms”.

CSR 2020 will be combined with workshops and a summer school.

Details will be announced later.

Ekaterinburg is the 4th largest city in Russia and the capital of the Ural region. It is easily accessible either via Moscow or Saint Petersburg, or by a direct flight from Europe (Istanbul, Munich, Paris, Prague, Riga, Rome) or Asia (Beijing, Dubai, Harbin, Tel Aviv). The conference will take place at Ural Federal University located in the heart of the picturesque city center.

TOPICS include, but are not limited to:

• algorithms and data structures

• computational complexity, including hardness of approximation and parameterized complexity 

• randomness in computing, approximation algorithms, fixed-parameter algorithms

• combinatorial optimization, constraint satisfaction, operations research

• computational geometry

• string algorithms

• formal languages and automata, including applications to computational linguistics
