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

CSR is an annual international conference held in Russia that is
designed to cover a broad range of topics in Theoretical Computer
Science. The list of previous CSR conferences can be found at
https://logic.pdmi.ras.ru/~csr/. Conference proceedings are published
in Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. A selection of
accepted papers will be published in a special issue of the Springer
journal, "Theory of Computing Systems".

CSR'19 will be part of the Computer Science Summer in Russia
(http://cssr.nsu.ru) which will also include the Ershov Informatics
Conference (PSI'19) and Summer School in Computer Science for
students.


IMPORTANT DATES

Deadline for submissions: January 3, 2018
Notification of acceptance: February 25, 2019
Conference dates: July 1-5, 2019

Yandex Awards for the best paper and for the best student paper will

VENUE

Novosibirsk is the 3rd largest city in Russia and a major hub in
Western Siberia. It is easily accessible either via Moscow or Saint
Petersburg, or by a direct flight from Еurope (Frankfurt, Dusseldorf,
Prague, Thessaloniki) or Asia (Tokyo, Seoul, Hongkong, Shanghai,
Beijing or Bangkok). The conference will take place at Novosibirsk
University located in Akademgorodok -- a picturesque "academic town"
about 30km south from the main city of Novosibirsk.

TOPICS include, but are not limited to:

* algorithms and data structures
* computational complexity
* randomness in computing, approximation algorithms
* combinatorial optimisation, constraint satisfaction
* computational geometry
* formal languages and automata
* codes and cryptography
* combinatorics in computer science
* applications of logic to computer science, proof complexity
* fundamentals of machine learning
* theoretical aspects of big data
