Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science

The series of MFCS symposia, organized since 1972, has a long and well-established tradition (see history). The MFCS symposia encourage high-quality research in all branches of theoretical computer science. Their broad scope provides an opportunity to bring together researchers who do not usually meet at specialized conferences. Quality papers presenting original research on theoretical aspects of computer science are solicited.
