European Association for Theoretical Computer Science (EATCS) is an international organization founded in 1972. Its aim is to facilitate the exchange of ideas and results among theoretical computer scientists as well as to stimulate cooperation between the theoretical and the practical community in computer science.

ICTAC 2014 - Call for Papers

The 11th International Colloquium on Theoretical Aspects of Computing (ICTAC) is organized this year for the first time in Europe (Bucharest). Being a conference on theoretical aspects of computing, we would be happy and honoured if the European Association for Theoretical Computer Science will include ICTAC 2014 in its calendar, and sponsor this event.

We'll be grateful if you can send as soon as possible the ICTAC Call for Papers to EATCS members, encouraging your colleagues to contribute with interesting papers. We think/hope that a strong scientific programme would be a distinguishing feature of such an European edition of ICTAC.

Presburger Award 2014

David Woodruff receives the Presburger Award 2014
The EATCS is proud to announce that the Presburger Award 2014 Committee has chosen David Woodruff (IBM Almaden Research Center) as the recipient of the Presburger Award 2014. Since 2010, the award has been given each year to a young scientist (in exceptional cases to several young scientists) for outstanding contributions in theoretical computer science, documented by a published paper or a series of published papers. The award is named after Mojzesz Presburger who accomplished his path-breaking work on decidability of the theory of addition (which today is called Presburger arithmetic) as a student in 1929. The Presburger Award 2014 is sponsored by CWI Amsterdam and will be presented at ICALP 2014 in Copenhagen, Denmark.

EATCS Fellows class of 2014 named

The EATCS has recognized ten of its members for their outstanding contributions to theoretical computer science by naming them as the first recipients of an EATCS fellowship.
