As a complement to the established Tracks on Algorithms, Automata, Complexity and Games (A), and on Logic, Semantics, and Theory of Programming (B), ICALP'05 innovates on the structure of its traditional scientific program with the inauguration of a new special Track (C). The aim of Track C is to allow a deeper coverage of a particular topic, to be specifically selected for each year's edition of ICALP on the basis of its timeliness and relevance for the theoretical computer science community.

In recent years, cryptography and security research has been gaining importance due to the development of the Internet and the distribution of computations among possibly mistrusting entities. The need to assure secure computing requires strong foundations and basic theoretical treatment of the underlying principles. ICALP'05 track C welcomes papers dealing with these subjects and relating security and cryptography to other fields of theoretical computer science.

Contributions

Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract of no more than 12 pages in LNCS style presenting original research on the theory of Computer Science.

Submissions should indicate to which track (A, B, or C) the paper is submitted. No simultaneous submission to other conferences is allowed.

The proceedings will be published in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science Series by Springer-Verlag. Prospective organizers of satellite workshops are invited to submit proposals. Further details about the submission procedure are to appear in this website.
