* complexity theory, including computational, descriptional, and parametrized,
* computational game theory,
* decidability and undecidability questions,
* discrete mathematics related to computer science,
* logic in computer science,
* quantum computing, algorithms, and complexity

Moreover, the traditional `STUDENT RESEARCH FORUM' will be open for PhD students offering them the opportunity to publish and discuss their projects in the field of theory and practice of Computer Science. The papers not accepted to the regular tracks may be selected by the Program Committee to be presented at the SOFSEM Student Research Forum.
42th International Conference on Current Trends in Theory and Practice of Computer Science
