                             Call for Papers

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Since 2005, the aim of MEMICS is to provide a scientific forum for 
doctoral and
master students interested in applications of mathematical and 
engineering methods
in computer science. Besides a rich technical programme (including 
invited talks,
regular papers, and presentations), MEMICS also offers friendly social 
activities
and exciting opportunities for meeting like-minded people.

Topics: MEMICS submissions are traditionally invited from all areas of 
computer
science (such as parallel and distributed computing, computer networks, 
modern
hardware and its design, non-traditional computing architectures, 
information
systems and databases, multimedia and graphics, verification and 
testing, computer
security, as well as all related areas of theoretical computer science). 
In line
with the tradition of MEMICS, several areas are, however, given a 
special focus
each year (which is reflected, e.g., in the choice of the invited speakers).
In 2015, these areas are:

    * Security and safety
    * Bioinformatics
    * Recommender systems
    * High-performance and cloud computing
    * Non-traditional computational models (quantum computing, etc.)

Nevertheless, as stated above, submissions from any other area of 
computer science
are welcome.

Invited talks: There will be 4-6 invited talks by distinguished 
researchers from
the different areas of interest of the workshop as a part of the programme:

* Natasha Sharygina (University of Lugano, Switzerland)
* Ezio Bartocci (Vienna University of Technology, Austria)
* Mike Just (Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, Scotland)
* Peter Vojtáš (Charles University, Czech Republic)
* TBA

Participation: Students are invited to submit a regular paper or a 
presentation.
A regular paper is a previously unpublished original work, not exceeding 
12 pages
in the LNCS style.

Simultaneous submissions of regular papers to other conferences with 
proceedings
is not allowed. A presentation, submitted in the form of a one-page 
abstract,
summarizes recent outstanding work that has been accepted to a leading 
computer
science conference or published in a recognised scientific journal. 
Detailed
instructions are available at the web page http://www.memics.cz/. 
Proceedings
containing accepted regular papers and presentation abstracts will be 
available at
the workshop in printed and/or electronic form.

Moreover, a special issue of a journal with an impact factor is planned 
for extended
versions of a selection of the best papers published at MEMICS.

Submissions and dates:
All submissions will be handled by the Easychair conference system.

*  July 10, 2015: abstracts of regular papers
*  July 17, 2015: full regular papers
*  August 28, 2015: one-page abstracts of presentations
*  September 8, 2015: notification of acceptance
*  September 15, 2015: final camera-ready versions of all accepted 
submissions

Venue: The workshop will be held in the historical town of Telc, which 
is situated
at the south-west tip of Moravia, half-way between Prague and Vienna. 
The historical
centre of the town has retained its unique shape over the centuries and 
was included
in the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 1992: 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telč.

The MEMICS 2015 workshop is organised jointly by the Faculty of 
Information Technology,
Brno University of Technology and the Faculty of Informatics, Masaryk 
University.
