                   ****   SOFSEM 2025   ****
50th International Conference on Current Trends in Theory and Practice of Computer Science
            January 20 – 23, 2025, Bratislava, Slovakia

                         Call for Papers
SOFSEM is an annual winter conference devoted to the theory and practice of
computer science. The conference traditionally focuses on the latest results
and developments of fundamental research in computer science (informatics),
inspired by the algorithmic challenges of our time. SOFSEM has a long tradition
as a high-quality research conference, and a venue where researchers from
academia and industry in all stages of their career can share their insights.
The series of SOFSEM conferences began in 1974, and was only interrupted in
2022 due to the covid pandemic. In 2025, at its 50th edition, SOFSEM will be
held as a physical event in Bratislava, Slovakia. The proceedings will be
published in the subseries ARCoSS (Advanced Research in Computing and Software
Science) of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) of Springer.
Topics
The program committee encourages submission of original research papers in all
areas of foundations of computer science and artificial intelligence, including
e.g.
 * AI-based algorithms and techniques,
 * algorithms (approximation, combinatorial, exact, online, parameterized, probabilistic, 
   streaming, etc)
 * automata (cellular, finite, networked, etc), languages, machine models, rewriting systems
 * computability, decidability, classical and non-classical models of computation,
 * computational complexity (incuding e.g. communication, descriptional, fine-grained, 
   Kolmogorov, non-uniform, fixed-parameter and structural complexity),
 * computational geometry,
 * computational learning,
 * cryptographic techniques and security,
 * data compression algorithms,
 * data- and pattern mining methods (includeing e.g. models, theory, algorithms)
 * discrete combinatorial optimization, heuristics, local search, SAT solvers, simulation
 * efficient data structures (including e.g. dynamic, geometric, and spatial datastructures)
 * experimental algorithmics, applications
 * formal models of systems (including e.g. concurrent, hybrid, reactive, mobile, net-based, 
   and timed systems)
 * graph structure and algorithms,
 * intelligent algorithms,
 * logics of computation, process models, program synthesis
 * machine learning theory,
 * multi-agent algorithms and games,
 * nature-inspired computing,
 * network science,
 * neural network theory,
 * parallel and distributed computing,
 * quantum computing,
 * robotics
 * structural complexity,
 * visualization algorithms (including e.g. graph drawing, network layout)
and other relevant theory topics in computing and AI.
