****************************************************************************

CiE 2009 is the fifth in a series of conferences organised by CiE
(Computability in Europe), a European association of mathematicians,
logicians, computer scientists, philosophers, physicists and others
interested in new developments in computability and their underlying
significance for the real world. Previous meetings took place in
Amsterdam (2005), Swansea (2006), Siena (2007) and Athens (2008).

TUTORIALS: Pavel Pudlak, Luca Trevisan.

INVITED SPEAKERS: Manindra Agrawal, Jeremy Avigad, Phokion Kolaitis,
Peter Koepke, Andrea Sorbi, Rafael D. Sorkin, Vijay Vazirani.

SPECIAL SESSIONS on Algorithmic Randomness (E. Mayordomo, W. Merkle),
Computational Model Theory (J. Knight, A. Morozov), Computation in
Biological Systems - Theory and Practice (A. Carbone, E. Csuhaj-Varju),
Optimization and Approximation (M. Halldorsson, G. Reinelt), Philosophical
and Mathematical Aspects of Hypercomputation (J. Ladyman, P. Welch),
Relative Computability (R. Downey, A. Soskova)

SPECIAL SESSION INVITED SPEAKERS CONFIRMED SO FAR: Laurent Bienvenu,
Friedrich Eisenbrand, Ekaterina Fokina, Hristo Ganchev, Sergey Goncharov,
Bjorn Kjos-Hanssen, Russell Miller, Antonio Montalban, Keng Meng Ng,
Ion Petre, Alberto Policriti, Francisco J. Romero-Campero, Richard Shore,
Nikolai Vereshchagin, David Westhead.

CiE 2009 has a broad scope and bridges the gap from the theoretical
methods of mathematical and meta-mathematical flavour to the applied and
industrial questions of computational practice. The conference aims to
bring together researchers who want to explore the historical and
philosophical aspects of the field.

We particularly invite papers that build bridges between different parts
of the research community. Since women are underrepresented in mathematics
and computer science, we emphatically encourage submissions by female
authors. The Elsevier Foundation is supporting the CiE conference series
in the programme "Increasing representation of female researchers in the
computability community". This programme will allow us to fund child-care
support, a mentoring system for young female researchers, and also a small
number of grants for female researchers, covering their registration fees.

The dates around the submission process are as follows:

Contributed papers will be selected from submissions received by the
PROGRAMME COMMITTEE consisting of:

Klaus Ambos-Spies (Heidelberg, co-chair), Giorgio Ausiello (Rome), Andrej
Bauer (Ljubljana), Arnold Beckmann (Swansea), Olivier Bournez (Nancy),
Vasco Brattka (Cape Town), Barry Cooper (Leeds), Anuj Dawar (Cambridge),
Jacques Duparc (Lausanne), Pascal Hitzler (Karlsruhe), Rosalie Iemhoff
(Utrecht), Margarita Korovina (Siegen/Novosibirsk), Hannes Leitgeb
(Bristol), Daniel Leivant (Bloomington), Benedikt Loewe (Amsterdam),
Giancarlo Mauri (Milan), Elvira Mayordomo (Zaragoza), Wolfgang Merkle
(Heidelberg, co-chair), Andrei Morozov (Novosibirsk), Dag Normann (Oslo),
Isabel Oitavem (Lisbon), Luke Ong (Oxford), Martin Otto (Darmstadt),
Prakash Panangaden (Montreal), Ivan Soskov (Sofia), Viggo
Stoltenberg-Hansen (Uppsala), Peter van Emde Boas (Amsterdam), Jan van
Leeuwen (Utrecht), Philip Welch (Bristol), Richard Zach (Calgary)

The Programme Committee cordially invites all researchers in the area of
the conference to submit their papers (in PDF-format, at most 10 pages)
for presentation at CiE 2009.

The best of the accepted papers will be published in the conference
proceedings within the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series
of Springer, which will be available at the conference. Authors of
accepted papers are expected to present their work at the conference.
Submitted papers must describe work not previously published, and they
must neither be accepted nor under review at a journal or at another
conference with refereed proceedings.

All papers need to be prepared in LNCS-style LaTeX. Papers should not
exceed 10 pages; full proofs may appear in a technical appendix which will
be read at the reviewers' discretion. The title page must contain: title
and authors; physical and e-mail addresses; identification of corresponding
author, if not the first author; an abstract of no more than 200 words; a
list of keywords.

Submissions authored or co-authored by members of the Programme Committee
are not allowed.
