Magic in Science:
-----------------
The symposium “Magic in Science” will be co-located with CiE 2017. It
takes place on June 17, 2017, immediately after CiE. The symposium
celebrates the 75th birthday of Prof. Grzegorz Rozenberg, University of
Leiden, the Netherlands and University of Colorado at Boulder, USA.
Grzegorz Rozenberg is one of the world leaders in research on
Theoretical Computer Science and Natural Computing. As a matter of fact,
he is often called the guru of Natural Computing, having started
promoting it as a coherent scientific discipline already from the 1970s
– he gave this area its name and defined its scope. He played a central
role in the development of theoretical computer science in Europe. His
research is very broad in scope and it is a prime example of
interdisciplinary research. He has authored exceptionally many research
papers opening new vistas, as well as well-known books about
developmental languages, decidability and DNA computing. He supervised
numerous Ph.D. students, many of whom have become known scientists. He
serves or has served the international computer science community in
numerous roles, including: president of the European Association for
Theoretical Computer Science (EATCS); cofounder and president of the
International Society for Nanoscale Science, Computation, and
Engineering (ISNSCE); chair of the steering committee of the DNA
Computing Conference; cofounder and chair of the steering committee of
the International Conference on Application and Theory of Petri Nets;
chair of the steering committee of the European Educational Forum;
cofounder and chair of the steering committee of the International
Conference on Developments in Language Theory; co-chair of the steering
committee of the International Conference on Unconventional Computation
and Natural Computation; and director of European Molecular Computing
Consortium. The talks given at the symposium will have an overview
character and together they will cover a broad range of topics from
Computer Science, reflecting Grzegorz Rozenberg's broad research
interests. Among the topics covered are: P vs NP, reaction systems,
membrane computing, graph isomorphism, combinatorics on words, DNA
rearrangements, smart textiles, smart drones, magic squares, wonder
cubes, and odor reproduction.
Confirmed speakers include: David Harel, Weizmann Institute of
Science, Israel- "On odor reproduction and how to test for it" Hendrik
Jan Hoogeboom, University of Leiden, the Netherlands - TBA Juraj
Hromkovic, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich, Switzerland -
"Why P vs. NP is so hard that even magicians failed to solve it" Natasha
Jonoska, University of South Florida, USA - TBA Juhani Karhumäki,
University of Turku, Finland - "Combinatorics on words and k-abelian
equivalence" Hermann Maurer, Academia Europaea and Graz University of
Technology, Austria: "Some unusual applications of computer science"
George Paun, Institute of Mathematics of the Academy of Romania - TBA
Azaria Paz, Technion, Israel - "Linked magic squares on a cube. Theme
and variations" Moshe Vardi, Rice University, USA - "The
Automated-Reasoning Revolution: From Theory to Practice and Back" The
symposium is free of charge. Details: http://combio.abo.fi/rozenberg75/
