MACIS 2017
7th International Conference on Mathematical Aspects of Computer and Information
Sciences
November 15-17, 2017 Vienna, Austria. Web site:
https://macis2017.sba-research.org/

MACIS is a series of biennial conferences focusing on research in mathematical
and computational aspects of computing and information science.
MACIS 2017 will feature invited presentations and a selective four-track program
of contributed papers describing original and unpublished research.

+++ Important Dates +++

Submission deadline (REGULAR/SHORT papers): September 3, Sunday
(SHORT papers are decided on a rolling basis)
Notification deadline for all submissions: October 2, Monday
Registration opens: October 2, Monday
Camera-ready due: October 15, Sunday

Deadlines are firm; late submissions will not be considered.

+++ MACIS 2017 Organization +++

General Chair:
Dimitris E. Simos, SBA Research, Austria

PC Chairs:
Johannes Bloemer, Paderborn University, Germany
Temur Kutsia, RISC, Johannes Kepler University, Austria

MACIS Steering Committee:
Ilias Kotsireas (Chair), Wilfrid Laurier University, Canada
Siegfried Rump, Hamburg University of Technology, Germany

+++ Proceedings +++

All accepted SHORT or REGULAR papers (details, below) are planned to appear in a
conference proceedings volume published by Springer LNCS (pending approval). In
addition, REGULAR papers have the opportunity to be considered for
post-conference special issues of the journal ``Mathematics in Computer
Science'' (MCS http://link.springer.com/journal/11786) by Birkhauser/Springer.

+++ MACIS 2017 Topics +++

MACIS authors are required to choose one of the following tracks:

Track 1: Foundation of Algorithms in Mathematics, Engineering & Scientific
Computation
Track Chairs: Matthew England (Coventry University, UK), Jonathan Hauenstein

Austria), Elias Tsigaridas (INRIA, France)
Topics: quantifier elimination and decision procedures; global optimization;
differential equations; numeric, symbolic, interval and hybrid solution
techniques; satisfiability modulo theories; combinations of logics and deductive
engines; applications, especially in systems analysis and formal verification;
solving (parametric) polynomial systems

Track 2: Combinatorics and Codes in Computer Science
Track Chairs: Daniel Augot (INRIA & Ecole Polytechnique, France), Alexander May
