Call for Papers

Authors are invited to submit their work (not exceeding 12 pages, 11pt font, in the LNCS format) in PDF. Submissions must be made via the EasyChair website (now closed), no later than April 23, 2013 (anytime in the world). No simultaneous submission to other conferences with published proceedings is allowed.

Conference proceedings will be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.

Selected papers will be invited to contribute to a special issue of Theoretical Computer Science devoted to FCT 2013.
