Koucky, Yury Makarychev, Yuri Matiyasevich, Alexander Razborov (chair),
Victor Selivanov, Alexander Shen, Helmut Veith, Nikolai Vereshchagin, Sergey
Yekhanin.

Program committee of Applications and Technology Track includes Robert
Bauer, Egon Boerger, Stephane Bressan, Gabriel Ciobanu, Maxim Grinev,
Michael Kishinevsky, Gregory Kucherov, Alexandre Petrenko, Andreas Reuter,
Anatol Slissenko (chair), Elena Troubitsyna, Andrei Voronkov, Sergey Zhukov.


Conference chair: Alexei Semenov.

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.

Important dates:
* Paper submission (via EasyChair): December 9, 2007.
* Notification: February 8, 2008.
* Symposium: June 7-12, 2008.
