Mathematical Aspects of Computer and Information Sciences
Nanning, China, December 11-13, 2013
http://www.mpi-inf.mpg.de/conference/macis2013/
DEADLINE EXTENSION AND SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS
- Submission of papers/extended abstracts: October 12, 2013
- Notification of acceptance or rejection: November 1, 2013

- MACIS Forum and Satellite Workshop: December 9-10, 2013
MACIS is a series of conferences where foundational research on theoretical and practical problems of mathematics for computing and information processing may be presented and discussed. MACIS also addresses experimental and case studies, scientific and engineering computation, design and implementation of algorithms and software systems, and applications of mathematical methods and tools to outstanding and emerging problems in applied computer and information sciences. Each conference focuses on two or three themes.
The topics for MACIS 2013 fall into the following tracks:
- Constraints and Combinations (Track Chairs: P. Fontaine, U. Waldmann)
quantifier elimination and decision procedures; (global) optimization; differential equations; numeric, symbolic, interval and hybrid solution techniques; satisfiability modulo theories; combinations of logics and deductive engines; applications, especially in systems analysis and formal verification
- Data Modeling and Analysis (Track Chairs: M. Moshkov, X. Zhang)
knowledge discovery; data mining; pattern recognition; complex knowledge representation and management; foundations and theories for data analysis systems; big data storage, transfer, and processing
- Information Security and Cryptography (Track Chairs: J. Bloemer, D. Hutter)
security models; formal methods for security; cryptographic protocols; compositional security; information flow; language-based security; access control; database security; anonymity and privacy; encryption schemes; digital signatures; hash functions; cryptanalysis
MACIS FORUM IN MATHEMATICS, INFORMATICS, AND CULTURE - SATELLITE WORKSHOP
The core conference program will be complemented with a forum in mathematics, informatics, and culture taking place in Nanning during December 9-10, 2013.
A satellite workshop of MACIS 2013 in Logic, Algebra and Computation will be held at Beihang University, Beijing, China on December 9, 2013.

SUBMISSION
Potential participants of MACIS 2013 are invited to submit extended abstracts (3-4 pages) or full papers describing their work to be presented at the conference. The submitted extended abstracts and full papers will be reviewed by members of the Program Committee (PC) for soundness and relevance to the conference. Submission of original research papers is encouraged, while published material and work in progress will also be considered for presentation at the conference. Electronic submissions are strongly preferred using EasyChair:
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=macis20...
Accepted extended abstracts and full papers will be printed for distribution at the conference. Authors of the extended abstracts and full papers accepted for presentation at the conference will be invited to submit their full and/or revised papers for publication in special issues of Mathematics in Computer Science (MCS - http://www.cc4cm.org/mcs) by Birkhaeuser/Springer after the meeting. The submitted papers will be formally reviewed by PC members and external referees according to the refereeing procedure of MCS.
