SOFSEM presents<br>the latest results and developments in academic and industrial research in<br>leading areas of Computer Science. The first SOFSEM was organized in 1974,<br>and it was traditionally located in the Czech and Slovak Republics, before it<br>starting moving to other European locations. In 2017 it was organised in<br>Ireland, in 2018 in Austria and in 2019 in Slovakia. The 46th edition will be<br>organised in the sunny Mediterranean island of Cyprus.<br><br>SOFSEM consists of Invited Talks by prominent researchers, Contributed<br>Talks selected from the submitted papers, and the Student Research Forum.<br>The program is organized in plenary talks and parallel tracks devoted to<br>original research in contemporary areas of Computer Science. SOFSEM has a<br>long-standing tradition of facilitating discussions and collegial interactions<br>and is well-known for its familiar and inspiring atmosphere and as a meeting<br>place for active and leading computer scientists.<br><br>SOFSEM is a track based conference. It features the traditional track on<br>Foundations of Computer Science and a number of other tracks that over the<br>years have evolved to cover and address contemporary important areas of<br>Computer Science, such as Artificial Intelligence, Cryptography, Security, and<br>Verification, Data Science, Knowledge Engineering, Social Computing and<br>Human Factors, Software and Web Engineering, etc.<br><br>The proceedings of SOFSEM are published in the prestigious ARCoSS<br>(Advanced Research in Computing and Software Science) subseries of<br>Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series.<br><br>For SOFSEM 2020, the Steering Committee is inviting proposals for<br>organising tracks. The tracks can be of theoretical or practical nature or a<br>combination of both. Tracks from industry are particularly welcome. The<br>proposal should not exceed 3 pages and should include the following items:<br><br>a) Title, aim and scope of the proposed track, as well as the list of topics<br>that the proposed track will address.<br><br>b) Rationale for having this track in SOFSEM, including any other similar<br>events that the proposed track complements or differs from.<br><br>c) Names, affiliations and short CVs for the chairs of the proposed track,<br>demonstrating past relevant experience in organising such tracks or events.<br><br>d) Tentative list of names of the Program Committee for the proposed track.<br><br>e) A short dissemination plan for the CFP mentioning the forums where the<br>latter will be posted.<br><br>The proposals will be reviewed by the Steering Committee and the General<br>Chairs, based on the above mentioned criteria. A proposal may be accepted<br>as is, requested to modify its title and/or topics covered, merged with<br>another proposed track or rejected. Upon acceptance, the track chairs will<br>be notified of their exact duties in managing the affairs of their track. The<br>Steering Committee reserves the right to cancel a track at any moment in<br>time, if these responsibilities are not dealt with satisfactorily by the track<br>chairs.<br><br>Proposals should be submitted by February 11th, 2019 to the SOFSEM 2020<br>General Chairs, Yannis Manolopoulos (yannis.manolopoulos AT ouc.ac.cy)<br>and George A.
