SOFSEM (SOFtware SEMinar) is an annual international winter conference
devoted to the theory and practice of computer science. The first SOFSEM was
organized in 1974. SOFSEM consists of invited talks by prominent
researchers, of contributed talks selected from the submitted papers, and of
the Student Research Forum. The program is organized in plenary talks and
parallel tracks devoted to original research in the selected research areas.
SOFSEM has a long-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. SOFSEM is a
track-based conference. It features the traditional track on foundations of
computer science and a number of other tracks that cover contemporary
important areas, such as artificial intelligence, cryptography, security,
verification, data science, knowledge engineering, social computing and
human factors, software and web engineering, etc.
Submission Guidelines
Detailed guidelines for submission will appear shortly on the conference
web site (https://cyprusconferences.org/sofsem2020/). Papers must be
submitted electronically via Easychair in standard Springer format (max 12
pages). Submitted papers will undergo a peer review process.
