First Call for Papers

16th INTERNATIONAL COMPUTER SCIENCE SYMPOSIUM IN RUSSIA (CSR 2021)

June 28-July 2, 2021, Sochi, Russia

https://logic.pdmi.ras.ru/csr2021/

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

CSR is an annual conference that intends to reflect the broad scope of international 
cooperation in computer science. In 2006-2009 the symposium consisted of two tracks: 
Theory Track and Applications and Technology Track, and since 2010 it has a single track. 
The topics covered vary from year to year, but in general try to cover as much of the 
contemporary computer science as possible.

SUBMISSIONS

Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract or a full paper of at most
12 pages in English, not including references, in the LNCS format (LaTeX, as pdf; final 
version with source); instructions are here:

Proofs and other material omitted due to space constraints are to be put into
a clearly marked appendix to be read at discretion of the referees. Papers
must present original (and not previously published) research. Simultaneous
submission to journals or to other conferences with published proceedings is
not allowed.  The proceedings of the symposium will be published in Springer's
LNCS series.

We are carefully
watching the situation with the Covid-19 pandemic. We hope to conduct a physical event, but it will be possible to participate in the event online for those who are unable to come due to travel restrictions or other
circumstances. In case the situation in Russia does not allow us to organize a meeting in place, we are planning to move the event online but not to postpone it.
