=========================================






TTCS is a bi-annual conference series, serving as a forum for novel






and high-quality research in all areas of Theoretical Computer
Science. The proceedings will be published in Springer LNCS
series. The conference is sponsored by EATCS and IEEE (Iran section).

Submissions
------------------------------

For the main conference, we solicit research papers in all areas of
theoretical computer science. All papers will undergo a rigorous
review process and will be judged based on their originality,
soundness, significance of the results, and relevance to the theme of
the conference.

Papers should be written in English. Research papers should not exceed
15 pages in the LNCS style format. All technical details necessary
for a proper evaluation of a submission must be included in the
submission or in a clearly-labelled appendix, to be consulted at the
discretion of program committee members. Multiple and/or concurrent
submission to other scientific venues is not allowed and will result
in rejection as well as notification to the other venue. Any case of
plagiarism (including self-plagiarism from earlier publications) will
result in rejection as well as notification to the the authors'
institutions.

Papers should be submitted to the appropriate track through our EasyChair
submission website:
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ttcs2017 .
The web site is open for submissions.

- computational learning theory,
- economics and algorithmic game theory,
- fixed parameter algorithms,
- machine learning,
- optimization,
- parallel and distributed algorithms,
- quantum computing,
- randomness in computing,
- theoretical cryptography.

Track B: Logic, Semantics, and Programming Theory

- algebra and co-algebra in computer science,
- concurrency theory,
- coordination languages,
- formal verification and model-based testing,
- logic in computer science,
- methods, models of computation and reasoning for embedded, hybrid, and cyber-physical systems,
- stochastic and probabilistic specification and reasoning,
- theoretical aspects of other CS-related research areas, e.g., computational science, databases, information retrieval, and networking,
