The first SOFSEM was<br>organized in 1974. SOFSEM consists of invited talks by prominent<br>researchers, of contributed talks selected from the submitted papers, and of<br>the Student Research Forum. The program is organized in plenary talks and<br>parallel tracks devoted to original research in the selected research areas.<br><br>SOFSEM has a long-standing tradition of facilitating discussions and collegial<br>interactions. It is well-known for its familiar and inspiring atmosphere and as<br>a meeting place for active and leading computer scientists. SOFSEM is a<br>track-based conference. It features the traditional track on foundations of<br>computer science and a number of other tracks that cover contemporary<br>important areas, such as artificial intelligence, cryptography, security,<br>verification, data science, knowledge engineering, social computing and<br>human factors, software and web engineering, etc. <br><br>The Track Chairs are soliciting technical papers for presentation at the<br>conference and inclusion in the proceedings published by Springer in the<br>ARCoSS/LNCS series. The topics of the conference are organised in four<br>tracks and the (non exhaustive) list of topics for each track is as follows:<br><br><u>Foundations of Computer Science<br></u> Algorithms and data structures<br> Automata and formal languages <br> Complexity theory<br> Computability theory<br> Cryptography and security<br> Graphs and networks <br> Machine learning<br> Non-classical models of computing<br> Theory of databases, semi-structured data, and finite model theory<br> Theory of programming languages<br><br><u>Foundations of Software Engineering<br></u> Methods and tools for improved software processes<br> Software architecture of complex software-intensive systems<br> Requirements Engineering<br> Model-based software engineering methods and tools<br> Data-driven improvement of methods, models, and tools<br> Methods and tools for software engineering applications<br> Empirical Software Engineering<br><br><u>Foundations of Data Science<br></u> Data Models and Query Languages<br> Data Integration and Interoperability<br> Query Processing and Optimization<br> Distributed, Parallel, and P2P Data Processing and Management<br> Data Semantics and Linked Data<br> Spatial, Temporal, Multimedia Data<br> Web- and Graph-based Data<br> Probabilistic and Uncertain Data<br> Information Extraction and Retrieval<br> Data Privacy, Security, and Trust<br><br><u>Foundations of Algorithmic Computational Biology<br></u> Alignment and assembly of sequences<br> Biological networks<br> Cancer genomics<br> Comparative genomics<br> Gene expression<br> Phylogenetics<br> Sequence analysis<br> System biology<br><br><br>PAPER SUBMISSION<br><br>Detailed guidelines for submission are available on the conference<br>web site (<a href="http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/lm/lm.php?tk=c2NlLmNhcmxldG9uLmNhICwJCQlmZy1hcmNAbGlzdHMudW5pLXBhZGVyYm9ybi5kZQk0NnRoIEludGVybmF0aW9uYWwgQ29uZmVyZW5jZSBvbiBDdXJyZW50IFRyZW5kcyBpbiBUaGVvcnkgYW5kIFByYWN0aWNlIG9mIENvbXB1dGVyIFNjaWVuY2UgKFNPRlNFTSAyMDIwKTogTGFzdCBNaWxlIGZvciBQYXBlciBTdWJtaXNzaW9uCTQxNQlMaXN0cwkxNDQJY2xpY2sJeWVzCW5v&url=https%3A%2F%2Fcyprusconferences.org%2Fsofsem2020%2F%29.">https://cyprusconferences.org/sofsem2020/).</a> Papers must be<br>submitted electronically via Easychair in standard Springer format (max 12<br>pages, including references, etc.).
