CSR 2008 is the third conference in a series of regular events started with
CSR 2006 in St.Petersburg (see LNCS 3967) and CSR 2007 in Ekaterinburg (see
LNCS 4649). It intends to reflect the broad scope of international
cooperation  in computer science. CSR 2008 consists of two tracks: Theory
Track and Applications and Technology Track.

Theory Track topics include
* algorithms and data structures;
* complexity and cryptography;
* formal languages and automata;
* computational models and concepts;
* proof theory and applications of logic to computer science.

Application Track topics include
* artificial intelligence;
* bio-informatics;
* computer architecture, hardware design, nanotechnology;
* databases and knowledge bases, information retrieval and search, Web
technologies;
* numerical and symbolic computing;
* programming for parallel computing;
* software development and software validation methods and tools.

Submissions: Authors are invited to submit an extended  abstract or a full
paper of at most 10 pages preferably in the LNCS format. 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
submissions to journals or to other conferences with published proceedings
are not allowed. The proceedings of the symposium will be published in
Springer's LNCS series.

The symposium will include also special sessions: "In memoriam Andrey
Muchnik" and "Teaching Computer Science".

Three best paper awards are established: Best Theory Track Paper, Best
Application and Technology Track Paper, and Best Student Paper.

Important dates:
* Paper submission (via EasyChair): December 17, 2007.
* Notification: February 8, 2008.
* Symposium: June 7-12, 2008.
