SOFSEM 2016 := Tracks & Topics
SOFSEM 2016 will consist of three tracks covering major subareas of current computer science: the traditional track on Foundations of Computer Science and two tracks devoted to leading developments in contemporary areas: Software & Web Engineering, and Data, Information and Knowledge Engineering. Original contributions are solicited, presenting new research results in the theory and practice of computer science in each subarea designated for SOFSEM 2016. Each track has its own program chair and program committee, for peer reviewing and feedback to authors. Please consider the appropriate track of SOFSEM 2016 and join the pleasant and stimulating atmosphere of SOFSEM.
SOFSEM 2016 tracks:
- Foundations of Computer Science
Track Chair: Rusins Freivalds (University of Latvia, Latvia ) - Software Engineering: Methods, Tools, Applications
Track Chair: Gregor Engels (University of Paderborn, Germany ) - Data, Information and Knowledge Engineering
Track Chair: Barbara Catania (University of Genova, Italy )
For students, there is the:
- Student Research Forum
Track Chair: Roman Špánek (Technical University of Liberec, Czech Republic )
Foundations of Computer Science
The track is devoted to the theoretical heart of computer science, covering many different fields. Contributions are distinguished by an emphasis on mathematical background techniques, often with significant impact on practical applications. In other words, contributions that illustrate the value of fundamental research for applications are especially welcome. Such contributions have traditionally received a lot of attention at SOFSEM conferences, since its birth in 1974.

Software Engineering: Methods, Tools, Applications
The track is devoted to the research of novel and innovative methods and technologies to software engineering, including both software product and development process aspects. As software is the source of most of the innovations nowadays, novel software engineering approaches to develop intelligent technical systems, mobile systems, web-based systems, or games of high quality are of great interest. Furthermore, efficient, effective, and agile process approaches for core activities within requirements elicitation and software development are requested, as well as approaches for integrating business aspects, software development aspects, and software operations aspects (BizDevOps). In particular, lean and agile principles on the process site and component- and service-oriented concepts of the product site are of interest.

Data, Information and Knowledge Engineering
The track is devoted to all aspects of eliciting, acquiring, modeling, storing, and managing data, information, and knowledge. Contributions concerning all steps in the development of data and knowledge-intensive systems – theoretical foundations, design, implementation and maintenance techniques – are welcome.

Student Research Forum
Student Research Forum (SRF) provides students with an opportunity to receive a valuable feedback and have a discussion on their ideas together with the possibility to publish them. All student papers will be reviewed by the SOFSEM 2016 Program Committee and those not accepted to the main Springer LNCS proceedings but still proposing novel and contributing ideas will be reviewed again. Well written and promising student papers will be subsequently accepted to the SOFSEM 2016 local proceedings.
During the conference there will be a track devoted particularly to the Student papers which includes (i) oral student presentations in front of the full SOFSEM audience, (ii) a student poster session which gives space for further discussion between students and SOFSEM participants. Best Student Paper and Best Student Presentation will be awarded during the conference.
To be eligible, all authors have to be students (except for their advisors).
