COMPUTABILITY IN EUROPE 2019
Computing with Foresight and Industry
#CiE2019
CiE 2019 is the fifteenth conference organized by CiE (Computability in Europe), a European association of mathematicians, logicians, computer scientists, philosophers, physicists and others interested in new developments in computability and their underlying significance for the real world.
Immediately after CiE 2019 there will be a two-day Workshop on Computability Theory to be held in Leeds on 22-23 July. More information can be found here.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Regular Papers
Regular papers must be submitted via EasyChair and must use the LNCS style file available here. Papers can have a maximum of 12 pages including references, but excluding a possible appendix containing proofs and other additional material. Papers building bridges between different parts of the research community are particularly welcome.
The conference proceedings will be published by Springer in the series Lecture Notes in Computer Science.
Informal Presentations
Continuing the tradition of past CiE conferences, we invite researchers to present informal presentations of their recent work. A proposal for an informal presentation must be submitted via EasyChair and must use the LNCS style file available here and be 1 page; a brief description of the results suffices and an abstract is not required. Informal presentations will not be published in the LNCS conference proceedings. Results presented as informal presentations at CiE 2019 may appear or may have appeared in other conferences with formal proceedings and/or in journals.
IMPORTANT DATES
- Paper Submission: 21st January 2019 AOE
(please note that the deadline has been extended and it is not necessary to submit an abstract in advance of the paper) - Notification: 18th March 2019
- Final Version: 4th April 2019
- Informal Presentations: 1st May 2019
- Notification for Informal Presentations: within a few days of submission
- Early Registration: 17th May 2019
- Final Registration: 25th June 2019
Scam Alert: We are aware that invited speakers and delegates may be contacted by individuals claiming to be affiliated with CiE2019 and offering assistance with accommodation bookings. Please be aware that this is a scam operated by a company calling themselves Business Travel Management. You will never receive any unsolicited contact from the organizers of CiE promoting accommodation.
SPONSORS
The HaPoc Council offers two HaPoC travel grants of 250USD each to support participation in the conference. To be eligible for a grant, an accepted paper or informal presentation in the area of history and/or philosophy of computing is required. Applications for these grants must be made to HaPoC directly, see hapoc.org/node/284 for further details.
ASL Travel Grants: students, who are members of the Association for Symbolic Logic, may apply for (limited) ASL travel funds that the ASL is making available for sponsored meetings. See aslonline.org/meetings/student-travel-awards/.
There are also Women in Computability Travel Grants available.
