                             Milan, Italy

                          July  1 - 5, 2013

                    http://cie2013.disco.unimib.it

IMPORTANT DATES:

Submission Deadline for LNCS:                   20 January 2013
Notification of authors:                        4 March 2013
Deadline for final revisions:                   1 April 2013


CiE 2013 is the ninth conference 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 have taken place in Amsterdam (2005),
Swansea (2006), Siena (2007), Athens (2008), Heidelberg (2009), Ponte
Dalgada (2010), Sofia (2011) and Cambridge (2012).

The Nature of Computation is meant to emphasize the special focus of
CIE13 on the unexpected and strong changes that studies on Nature have
brought in several areas of mathematics, physics, and computer science.
Starting from Alan Turing, research on Nature with a computational
perspective has produced novel contributions, giving rise even to new
disciplines.

AWARDS:

Springer-Verlag has graciously funded two awards that will be given
during the CiE 2013 Conference.

Best student paper

This prize will be awarded for the best student paper presented at CiE
2013, as judged by the Program Committee. A prize of 500 Euros will be
given to the author(s) of the best student-authored paper (or split
between more than one paper if there is a tie). In order to be
considered, a paper has to be submitted in the category 'Regular paper
(eligible for best student paper award)' on EasyChair.
Papers are eligible if all of its authors are full-time students at the
time of submission.

Best paper on Natural Computing

The prize consists of the four volumes of the Handbook of Natural
Computing (see http://cie2013.disco.unimib.it/awards/).
This prize will be awarded to the best paper on Natural Computing
presented at CiE 2013, as judged by the Program Committee. A paper is
eligible if its main topic falls within the scope of Natural Computing,
roughly defined as the set of fields studied in the above handbook. The
Program Committee is the only judge of the relevance of a paper within
the Natural Computing scope. The authors of a paper eligible for the
award must indicate this in the submission notes.
