                    April 25-29, 2008, Xi'an, China
                      DEADLINE: November 10, 2007

The 5th Annual Conference on Theory and Applications of Models of
Computation (TAMC08) will be held in Xi'an, China, April 25 to 29, 2008.

The three main themes of the conference TAMC08 will continue to be
Computability, Complexity, and Algorithms. It aims to bring together
researchers with an interest in theoretical computer science, algorithmic
mathematics, and applications to the physical sciences. Typical but not
exclusive topics of interest include:

Algorithms and data structures, computational complexity, cryptography,
computational geometry, computational game theory, algorithmic graph theory
and combinatorics, algorithmic algebra, number theory and coding theory,
learning theory, computational biology, theoretical problems in networks and
security, quantum computing, randomness, on-line algorithms, and parallel
algorithms, natural computation, models of computation, automata and neural
networks, continuous and real computation, computable mathematics, relative
computability and degree structures, Turing definability, generalised and
higher type computation, proofs and computation, physical computability,
decidability and undecidability.

More information about the conference is available on the TAMC 08 web site.

Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, in the LNCS
Series by Springer. Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their
work at the conference. Special issues of Theoretical Computer Science and
Mathematical Structures in Computer Science devoted to a selected set of
accepted papers of the conference are planned.
