We all hope that in January 2021 the situation is back to normal and that SOFSEM 2021 can be hold in Bozen-Bolzano. The PC will monitor the situation, and for the case that the standard organization is impossible, the conference will be virtual (as many other conferences in these days). Therefore, the paper selection and reviewing process will run as usual, and the accepted papers will be published by Springer in the ARCoSS/LNCS series, independent of the way the conference will be hold.
SOFSEM (SOFtware SEMinar) is an annual international winter conference devoted to the theory and practice of computer science, where the latest results and developments in academic and industrial research in leading areas of computer science are presented. SOFSEM has along-standing tradition of facilitating discussions and collegial interactions. It is well-known for its familiar and inspiring atmosphere and as a meeting place for active and leading computer scientists. The program will consist of invited talks by prominent researchers, contributed talks selected from the submitted papers, andthe Student Research Forum.
SOFSEM 2021 consists of four tracks covering major sub-areas of computer science. Each track has its own program chair and program committee for peer review and feedback to authors. Please select the appropriate track of SOFSEM 2021 for your contribution.
